Andrew O'Neal Cunningham (Neal), born on September 15, 1937, in Vanleer, Tennessee to Joseph and Jewell (Robertson) Cunningham, passed away peacefully on January 1, 2025, after a brief battle with cancer. He lived a life marked by dedication, hard work, and commitment to his community.

After high school, Neal began his career at Massey Ferguson. His journey was temporarily paused as he served in the United States Army, an experience that would shape his character and values. Following his military service, he returned to Massey Ferguson, bringing with him a newfound sense of discipline and leadership.

In 1970, Neal made the significant decision to move back to Dickson with his wife and two sons. It was in this community that he established Cunningham & Sons Implement where he sold Massey Tractors among other equipment. He retired in 1992.

He had many interests and hobbies over the years. Neal partnered in opening Classics Rock & Roll Café. Additionally, he enjoyed restoring old cars and still piddled with tractors.

Neal's legacy is one of resilience and entrepreneurship, leaving behind a mark on those who knew him and the community he cherished. His contributions will be remembered and celebrated by all whose lives he touched.
