Remembering Neil
Photographs of Neil from the years we traveled with him. Family and friends may add more — each one is reviewed before it appears here.
His story
A life held close
Neil was born in Burnet, Texas, to Elva and LaVern. He grew up alongside his sister Patricia and his brother Steve — family that stayed close to the center of his life.
In September 2000, he married Jamie. Together they raised Alyssa, Triston, and Trenton, and later the circle widened with grandchildren Emelia, Evelyn, and Bryson.
In June 2005, they made a home in Aransas Pass. By 2019, Neil had spent thirty-five years in the fuel business, specializing in tank testing — work he met with the same quiet reliability he offered the people he loved.
Those who knew him remember a warm presence: a man who loved his family, the open road, and the freedom of motorcycle life. This gathering is a celebration of that life — the miles he rode, the people he held close, and the light he left with us.
