Neil NEVER MET A STRANGER
Neil Douglas Reiersgaard was born on September 22, 1962. He passed away on October 19, 2024, after facing a series of ongoing health challenges, including recent complications from diabetes.
Neil was a beloved husband, family member, good friend, and PePaw to his cherished grandson, Leo. He was the life of the party and loved nothing more than getting to know people in a meaningful way. He was truly one of a kind and rarely did anyone who met Neil ever forget him. There was never a lack of things to talk about when sharing time with Neil regardless of the subject. His brilliant wit and sense of humor were unmatched, and he made laughter a part of every conversation. He was a cheerleader for many but was also able to show up in a serious way when someone was in need, as he cared deeply. There will never be another Neil and he will be missed so very much!
Please join us in honoring Neil in the following 3 ways:

3. THE stories
Neil truly never met a stranger and was always sincerely interested in learning about people and their lives. He was one of the most gifted listeners and was always happy to give feedback but only when asked. He of course took a special interest in his close friends and was a true confidant. Neil was also a great storyteller and shared his experiences on occasion. He loved guessing games, so we thought it would be fun to test everyone’s knowledge on Neil’s life. We have made a list of 9 items that are true and 1 statement that is false. It is completely optional if you would like to test your knowledge. We will share the false statement at the celebration and post the answer on this website for anyone who is interested or unable to attend.
