Winston O’ Neal English passed away peacefully surrounded by his family May 26, 2025, at the age of 75.

He was born in Greenville Alabama on August 29, 1949.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Juliet Owens English and Yancey Zoma English and his sister Dorothy Jean Mitchell.

He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Sandra Jones English, daughters Elizabeth Renae Fowler (Cort) and Sandra Joanne Gautney. He was known as “Pa Neal” to his 3 precious grandchildren Winston Chandler Gautney, Cortez Earl Fowler lll (Trey) and Abigail Elizabeth Fowler (Abby).

 He loved the peace found in the country, walking through the woods, and riding his tractor or truck through green pastures and fields. He always enjoyed his morning cup of coffee while sitting on his porch. He enjoyed reading on his iPad, watching the news and researching stocks. After graduating high school, he served in the Vietnam War as a United States Marine. He was a proud veteran. After returning home, he attended Reid Technical school and could pretty much fix anything that was broken. He worked many years at Rheem- Rudd and retired early from Key Safety to enjoy time on his farm. He never met a stranger, loved his family dearly and had a big, loud and happy laugh. He was strong, humble and had a positive and sensible attitude through all circumstances. He will be missed by his family and friends.
