Neil was the Youth Pastor at our church and he became very close to my two younger sons who loved Neil dearly. Neil had this tremendous gift that when he was engaged in a conversation with you, you felt like the most important person in the world. Neil and I also sang a song at our church several months before he died. When I visited him in the hospital a few weeks before he died he told me that he wanted to get better so that we could sing another song together. It was just like him - even in the face of death - to try to make others feel better. He is truly missed by all who had the honour of knowing him. He had a rare gift of being loved by young and old. It has been nine years since he died and I think of him often. I can hardly wait to see him in glory. Clayton Desjarlais - Posted by: Clayton Desjarlais (Brother in Christ) on: Sep 04, 2012
