It is with deep sorrow and respect that we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Ned Sauer, who passed away on October 15, 2025, at the age of 33. A dedicated professional, loyal friend, and beloved son and brother, Ned’s passing is a profound loss to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Ned was a skilled Metal CNC Operator at Flexible Concepts, Inc., where he was respected for his precision, reliability, and work ethic. His commitment to his craft and his steady presence in the workplace earned him the admiration of peers and supervisors alike. Beyond his technical abilities, Ned brought kindness, humility, and a quiet sense of humor to his work environment—qualities that made him a valued colleague and friend.
A lifelong resident of Mishawaka, Indiana, Ned’s roots in the community ran deep. He was known for his calm demeanor, his thoughtful nature, and his willingness to lend a hand when someone was in need. Whether it was a neighbor, a co-worker, or a stranger, Ned treated everyone with respect and quiet generosity.
He is survived by his loving mother, Meg Warner Sauer, his brother Jes, and a close-knit circle of extended family and friends who now mourn the loss of a kind and gentle soul. The sorrow of his passing is immense, but so too is the love and gratitude felt by those who shared in his life.
A visitation to honor Ned will be held on October 24, 2025, followed by a funeral service at Hahn Funeral Home. Family, friends, and members of the community are invited to come together to remember a life marked by dedication, decency, and quiet strength.
While Ned’s time with us was far too short, the impact he made in those 33 years will not be forgotten. His memory lives on in the lives he touched and the example he set—both in his work and in his daily life.
May his soul rest in peace, and may those who mourn him find comfort in one another and in the enduring legacy of Ned Sauer.
