Neal Franklin Schiffbauer, 63, of Port O’Connor passed away Monday, December 15, 2025. He was born January 4, 1962 in Victoria to Alan and Marlene Schoenig Schiffbauer. He was a self employed contractor. Neal enjoyed all things outdoors – hunting, fishing, gardening, trips to Sunday Beach and hanging out with friends and family. Through the years, Neal owned about every car and motorcycle produced and spent hours upon hours performing self-restoration. He was an avid reader, history buff and was a fierce competitor in Trivial Pursuit. When he was not enjoying the outdoors, he spent time building model cars, boats and military vehicles. Although Neal may, or may not have been known to be a little onery, he was loved by most and will be missed for his eccentric ways. For now it’s not goodbye, but see you later. Rest easy, Neal.
He is survived by his brother, Stuart Schiffbauer (Lee Ann); nieces and nephews, Reid Schiffbauer (Katelynn), Marlene Schiffbauer (Martin) and Marshall Schiffbauer (Hally) and Great Niece, Wren Schiffbauer.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
A celebration of life will be held in Port O’Connor at Maddens Lounge on February 7, 2026, 6:00 – 9:00 PM. All are encouraged to attend and bring your best Neal story to share.
