Burrell Francis Neely

November 5, 1943 - September 20, 2019

Burrell Francis Neely, age 75, passed away on Friday, September 20, 2019 at his home in Glendive. Cremation has taken place and no services are planned at this time. Silha Funeral Home of Glendive has been entrusted with the arrangements. Burrell was born on November 5, 1943 in Cahone, Colorado, a son of James and Thelda (Hart) Neely. He was raised and educated in Colorado, graduating from high school with the class of 1962 in Nucla, Colorado. After his high school education he worked for various oil companies. Burrell eventually made his way to what is now know as the Trail Star truck stop in Glendive where he met Bonnie Hrubes. They were later married on June 7, 1975 at the Glendive Assembly of God Church, and to this union two daughters were born: Becky and Brienna. Burrell was known for being a jack of all trades, and he could fix just about anything. He was also an avid hunter and fisherman, and he enjoyed hunting for brass and reload ammunition. Above all though, Burrell was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He loved his family more than anything, and he will be truly missed. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Thelda; one brother, Milfred Neely; and one sister, Lillian High. Burrell is survived by his wife, Bonnie of Glendive; his daughters, Becky Neely of Glendive, and Brienna (Rick) Hoiland of Glendive; two grandchildren, Jaycee and Dylon; three siblings, Myrl Neely of Burlington, Colorado, Linda (Bob) Orwig of Craig, Colorado, and Roy (Lela) Neely of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and numerous nieces and nephews.
