Zion Elee Neal was born November 16, 2003, in Akron, Ohio, to Marisa Williams and Robert Neal. He attended Voris Elementary School and went on to attend Nordonia High School, where he was a football player and sang in the choir. As a child, he was bright and energetic; this personality stayed with him as he transformed into a young man full of jokes with an infectiously contagious essence. 
Zion loved spending time with his family and friends, especially his beautiful nieces – whom he adored. Zion was the life of the party! His goofy faces and one-of-a-kind dance moves will be etched in the memories of his family forever. During his free time he loved to cook and was constantly creating new sauces. His favorite food was seafood, and he also loved eating stuffed shells with his father. 
He will be missed by all who loved him.
Zion is survived by his loving mother, Marisa Williams; loving father, Robert Neal; siblings, Martinez Williams, Diont’e Williams, Majustice Palmer, Oahnesty Palmer, Roscionee Neal, and Raegan Neal grandmothers, Maria Williams, and Nanette Perryman; special friends, Tulsi Patel and Paris Snell; as well as a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
