Neil graduated from Firth High School and attended BYU for a short time and then was hired at Sheehan’s Metal. Neil played sports in High School and enjoyed many good times with friends and family. Neil married Shannon Bush, but later divorced. Neil was a loving father to Cherie. On October 8, 1981, Neil was injured in an automobile accident that left him living the rest of his life in a wheel chair. He was very active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had a testimony of his Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and looked forward to a reunion with loved ones gone before.

Neil lived a healthy and happy life for 36 years in his wheel chair, and many of those years his loving mother was his strength and support. He met the love of his life, Peggy Taysom while living in Goshen. They were married on October 10, 2010, and later sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple on August 29, 2014. Peggy loved and served Neil happily.
