Neal enjoyed cooking which was his favorite pastime. He loved fishing and camping and basketball. He was a cook at Harts Grocery in O'Fallon, Illinois.
FROM HIS MOTHER:Neal's life was cut short but while he was here he touched so many lives in a wonderful way. He had those gleaming eyes and a beautiful smile. I only wished he knew and felt how much he was loved. He is with the Lord now and at peace. May God rest his soul.
Love,
Mom, Angie and Andrew
FROM HIS FIANCE': Neal was a wonderful person in so many different aspects. He really knew how to touch people and get through to them. He must have been an angel in disguise. No one could resist Neal with his outgoing friendliness and all American attitude. No one will forget those transparent twinkling eyes and charming smile. I cherish every moment I spent with Neal, they were blessings. I pray that he has found comfort. Now, Neal, you will be in my heart and soul forever.
I Love You,
Melissa
