John Michael Neuerburg
John passed away on August 23, 2015, while fishing with his son in Surfside Beach, Texas.
He was born to the late Leonard and Louise Neuerburg on August 13, 1952, in Freeport, Texas. John grew up in Baytown and Freeport, and graduated from Brazosport High School in 1970. Two years later, he wed his high school sweetheart, the late Gail Neuerburg. They were married for over 40 years.
John graduated from Lamar University in 1976, where he played baseball, a sport he loved and shared with his children. Soon after, he started his own company, J&G Electric, where he worked as an electrician while he attended Texas Chiropractic College. He graduated in 1980.
Together with his wife, Gail, John opened his first practice of chiropractic in 1981, in Atascosita, Texas. They later moved his practice to Lake Jackson in 1986, to be closer to family where he worked until the day he died. His son, Chris Neuerburg, will continue the practice.
John loved hunting, fishing, and telling stories about the good ol’ baseball days. He lived by his motto, “The most important thing in life is to be happy.” He loved helping people through his practice, and his jovial, easy going character was loved by many in the community.
He is survived by his two children, Chris and Nicole; sisters, Jean Carrell, Lois Horton; and brother, Leonard Neuerburg. He has two grandsons, Gus and Hank.
Memorial services for John will be held at the Freeport Community House, located at 1300 West Second Street in Freeport, Texas at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, August 28, 2015.
A celebration of his life will follow in the same location. Beer, tea, and finger foods will be served. BYOB.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Boys & Girls Club of Brazoria County, an organization his father helped found in 1972.

So sorry to hear that John has passed but at least, like my mother, he was doing something he loved at the time. John will be missed.

I was saddened by Larry Griffin's phone call letting me know about John. I was looking forward to visiting with him at the Reunion. He was really a great person, baseball pitcher, and poker player. I know his children are greatly sorrowed at their dad' sudden passing so soon after their mom's. I will miss John.

Sorry to hear of the passing of John. John was a great person to know and we have many memories of the Friday night baseballs games and the penny-poker parties we used to play with the group of us. Our condolences to his family and numerous friends John met over the years.
