Obituary for Martin Steven Neier
Martin Steven Neier of Rockville, MD passed away on Monday, December 28, 2020, at the age of 72. After many years of declining health, the complications of COVID19 were too much for our beloved Marty to overcome. He died peacefully, surrounded by medical professionals who stepped up as surrogate family members, during this unprecedented pandemic, caring for him, showing him compassion and respect, in his family’s absence.
Marty dedicated his life to building Jewish culture, and evolving access to Judaism through his philanthropic work in fund raising. He was a teacher, a boss, and mentor that championed his colleagues, and thrived when leading a team.
He is survived by his loving children, Samantha Neier (Ryan Diener) and Whitney Neier (Adam Kindervatter-Clark); sister, Helen (late Fred) Goldstein; grandchildren, Mason Diener, Sadie Clark and Walter Clark, and his companion Lorna Frehm. He was predeceased by his parents, Samuel and Anna Neier.
