Neil was born on 2nd January 1966 the only Son to Mary and Neil Senior with one sister Linda. From the very start he was a lively, loving, and caring young boy, traits which stayed with him throughout his life. His passion was football, family, friends and of course the craic! Coming from Irish roots there was always music, fun & laughter and the odd pint or two. He made friends easily gathering more and more along the way throughout his journey in life and many have stayed good friends to this day.
Neil was a truly special man who left us too soon; he will be sorely missed by his partner Cathy, his Daughter Debbie, Son Joseph, Mary & Linda and all his family and friends

Dear Cathy, Joseph and extended family. Just a note to say how sorry I am to hear this very sad news. We truly can’t believe it. My first meeting with Neil was at Ashton’s nightclub where Cathy pointed out this young 17 year old guy who became her partner in life. They really grew up together and had so many friends and good times. They were a big part of the Irish community. As hard of a day it will be, I will think of you from so far away and pray you have strength going forward. We are all here for you through good and bad. You are always welcome in Texas and it’s not long till I will see you again. Our thoughts will be with you tomorrow. You are surrounded by love and support.
Collette Farnan and Family.

Neil found out that he and l where distant cousins so when we met up he used to greet me with “Hi Cuz! He found this out when he met a relative of mine at a funeral who was from Ballinasloe
they got talking and we realised that we where related.
