George Michael Reneau

George “Mike” Michael Reneau, 65, passed away peacefully on June 1, 2026, surrounded by his loving family in Indianapolis, Indiana. Born on July 1, 1960, in Martinsville, Indiana, Mike lived a life defined by hard work, compassion, humor, and dedication to those he loved most.

Mike began his career working alongside his father at Reneau Electric, where he developed the strong work ethic and pride in craftsmanship that would guide him throughout his life. He later worked for 11 years at Butler University before joining the IBEW Local 481, where he spent 25 years as a respected electrician and mentor to countless apprentices and coworkers. One of Mike’s proudest traditions was helping light Monument Circle in Indianapolis each Christmas for the past 23 years, bringing joy and holiday spirit to families throughout the community.

Outside of work, Mike found happiness in the simple things he loved most — bowling, coaching sports, taking drives in his Jeep or four-wheeler, and walking along the beach in the early morning while listening to music. Above all else, Mike cherished his family, especially his grandchildren, who brought endless pride and happiness to his life.

Known for his unforgettable “dad jokes,” warm smile, and generous heart, Mike had a special gift for making everyone feel welcome. He was always ready to lend a helping hand and offer support when it was needed most.

Mike is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Dawn Lola Reneau; his children, Corey, Haley, Shaun, and Dylan; his beloved grandchildren, Connor, Micheal, Kenden, Mya, Joshua, Liberty, Kendall, Rylan, Skylar, Cole, and Braylan; and sisters Pam, Rose, Tammi and Lisa.

He was preceded in death by his son, Mikey Reneau.

Mike’s legacy of kindness, laughter, mentorship, and love will continue to live on through all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A memorial service will be held on June 10, 2026, at Legacy Cremation & Funeral Services, 5215 Shadeland Ave, Indianapolis, in 46226. Visitation will be from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., with service at 5:00 p.m.

In honor of Mike and his love for the Hawaiian spirit, we invite those attending his funeral to wear Hawaiian-themed clothing or bright tropical attire if they feel comfortable doing so. It was one of Mike's favorite styles and a reflection of the joy, warmth, and personality he brought to those around him. While traditional funeral attire is certainly welcome, wearing Hawaiian clothing would be a meaningful way to celebrate Mike's life and remember him with a touch of the happiness he shared with others.

Paul Wick

Paul Wick, a steadfast and devoted man whose life was interwoven with the rhythm of the railroad and the quiet pursuits of the mind, passed away on May 28, 2026, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Born on January 4, 1941, Paul’s journey through eight and a half decades was marked by dedication, connection, and a profound love for knowledge and family.

From the tender age of 18, Paul embarked on a career with the railroad—a path he would follow faithfully until his retirement. The tracks he walked were not only those of steel and wood but also of enduring commitment and service. His work ethic was mirrored by his generous spirit, evident to all who knew him. Paul was ever ready to offer a helping hand, whether it meant giving rides to those in need, supporting loved ones with their homework, or simply being present whenever assistance was required. This generosity, however, was balanced by a human complexity, a nod to the truth that even the kindest souls harbor moments of selfishness—and Paul was no exception.

Beyond his role as a mentor and helper, Paul’s personality bloomed in the quiet corners of life. A passionate chess player, he often proclaimed it the only game worth playing, revealing a mind that craved strategy, challenge, and the thrill of intellectual battle. His love of history opened doors to countless worlds and eras, each book a voyage into understanding humanity’s intricate past. When not engrossed in a book or a chess match, Paul found solace in the embrace of nature, indulging in hunting and fishing, pursuits that spoke to his desire for calm, patience, and the timeless rhythm of the outdoors.

Paul’s legacy lives vibrantly in the family he cherished dearly. He is survived by his beloved daughter, Paulynn Woods, who carries forward his spirit of care and resilience. Paul's lineage extends warmly through five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and even a great-great-grandchild, each a living testament to a life well-lived and love generously given. Though his son, Darrell Wick, preceded him in death, the family ties remain strong and enduring, a tapestry woven with both joy and sorrow.

As we remember Paul Wick, we recall a man of depth and contradiction, a pillar of support and a seeker of knowledge. His presence shaped the lives around him, sometimes quietly, sometimes boldly, always with an unmistakable humanity. From the click of chess pieces to the whisper of the forests he frequented, Paul’s spirit endures—not just in memory, but in the stories, lessons, and love he leaves behind.

Linda was a dedicated mother and a loyal friend whose warmth and kindness touched many lives. Those close to Linda remember her for her quick wit, generosity, and overall joy. She enjoyed holidays surrounded by her loved ones and the thrill of mystery novels.

She had a vibrant spirit and a true love for adventure. Alongside her beloved husband, Harry, she spent years exploring the beauty of the country, taking unforgettable cross-country trips in their RV, visiting the breathtaking Grand Canyon, and making beautiful memories with him on a surprise trip to Hawaii.

She was also a valued member of the Mt. Comfort Methodist Church community.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Harry Louis Neer; her parents, Harold and Evelyn Francis Mills; and her son, Christopher Neer.

Linda’s legacy of love lives on through her surviving sons, Jeffrey Neer, Gregory Neer, and Daniel Neer (wife, Jennifer). She was the proud grandmother of Shauna (husband, Jonathan), Ashley (husband, David), Joshua, Ramsey, and Eric (wife, Stephanie), and her joy multiplied through the generations as a cherished great-grandmother to Autumn, Chloe, Brooklyn, Mariska, Kaden, and Ethan; a great-great-grandmother to Violet and Leo. She is also survived by her brother, Randall Mills (wife, Nettie) and her sister, Debbie Adams, along with many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

A Celebration of Linda’s Life will be held on Saturday, June 6th, from 1pm to 3pm at Mt. Comfort Church, 3179 N 600 W, Greenfield, IN. The family warmly invites you to bring your favorite short stories, memories, and photos to share as they celebrate the amazing woman Linda was.

Emily Isabel Perkins

Emily Isabel Perkins, 90, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 26. 2026. She was preceded in death by her parents William and Clara; her siblings Marian, George, Russell, Ernest, and Charles; and her husband James. She is survived by her children Robert Perkins (Shannon), Karen Omran (Rami), and Sandra Fox (Burke); and her grandchildren Alexander, Ethan, Nathaniel, Anabel, and James.

Emily grew up in Oaklyn, NJ on Newton Avenue. Full of love and laughter, she had many close-knit groups of friends. She moved to Indianapolis in the 1960s to live with her Aunt Effie and Uncle Harold. She began working at RCA as a secretary where she met her future mother-in-law, Margaret Schmidt. Margaret introduced Emily to her son Jim who was in the Air Force. Emily and Jim started a long-distance friendship which soon blossomed into love.

Emily and Jim were married in April 1968. They bought a house in Indianapolis, where they brought up their three children and joined St. Lawrence Catholic Church, where their children went to school. Emily started working part-time at the parish office as a secretary in the mid-1970's and continued working there for the next 40 years or so. She loved the St. Lawrence family. She joined the garden club, the social committee, the Knights of St. Peter Claver, the choir, and many, many other activities and ministries. Emily never knew a stranger, at church or anywhere. She listened to those who needed a supportive ear, crafted handmade greeting cards for friends and loved ones, prayed for many intentions, and was always willing to get together for a little socializing. She created many lifelong friends among neighbors and fellow parishioners and maintained numerous extended family relationships. Later in life, when she moved to Meadow Brook Senior Living, she made many new friends there as well.

Emily's greatest accomplishment, though, was the love and devotion she showed her family, including her five grandchildren. They were, without a doubt, the highlight of her senior years.

In 2010, Emily lost Jim to cancer. Soon after, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, but her strong faith and love of life carried her through, and she became a survivor. She continued to work and create many cherished memories with family and friends. Later, she found companionship with her neighbor, Larry Winke. They shared two and a half years of a sweet friendship and romance together before his passing in April of this year.

Services in honor of Emily Isabel Perkins will be held at a later date. Please check back for updates.

Randy J. Spangler

Randy’s career began behind the wheel of a semi-tractor trailer, where he shared the experience of the road with his children, creating memories that would last a lifetime. His skill and precision then led him to become an exceptionally talented crane operator for Zore’s. Known for his remarkable ability to maneuver his crane with finesse, Randy could effortlessly lift objects ranging from the size of a basketball to as large as a car. One memorable story tells of him lifting a casket from a load of scrap metal, humorously declaring that it would be the one in which he wished to be buried.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Randy was cherished for his kind and caring nature. He had a genuine love for children and treasured family gatherings where laughter and joy were plentiful. His friends remember him fondly for his infectious sense of humor and his fondness for sharing jokes. Randy’s work ethic was unparalleled; he continued to work diligently until illness prevented him from climbing into his crane.

After long days at work, Randy found comfort in relaxing moments shared with his close friends. Whether at Mike’s Speedway Lounge, the VFW Post 1587, or the Legion, he enjoyed good company, laughter, and a glass of Royal Crown Apple—a simple pleasure that spoke to his down-to-earth and convivial spirit.

Randy is survived by his loving children: Randy Spangler, Jr., Stacy Sandoval, and Justin Spangler, along with four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren who carry forward his legacy of kindness and strength. He also leaves behind his devoted siblings: Kathy Wagner, Steve Spangler, Mark Spangler, and Tommy Spangler. Randy was preceded in death by his parents, Norman and Mary Spangler, as well as seven siblings.

A visitation to honor Randy’s life will be held on June 3, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 1604 W Morris St, Indianapolis, IN 46221. Following the visitation, interment will take place at Floral Park Cemetery, 425 North Holt Road, Indianapolis, IN 46222, beginning at 1:30 p.m.
