Neil, beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away in Laguna Beach at the age of 63. Born in Huntingdon, England, Neil carried his British heritage with deep pride throughout his life. His wit, warmth, and boundless heart left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife Brianna and five cherished children: Oliver, George, Henry, Clementine, and little Colette. Also deeply connected to Neil’s life is his former wife, Nicola, the devoted mother of Oliver, Henry, George, and Clementine, and a valued and important part of the family. Neil’s professional journey was marked by great respect from colleagues around the world, who admired his sharp mind, generous spirit, and unwavering integrity.

Neil brought intelligence, curiosity, and a sharp sense of humor to every conversation. He was always in motion—thinking, acting, fixing, and forever up for an adventure. He was famously the go-to person for advice on absolutely everything, whether you wanted it or not. From life’s biggest decisions to fixing a leaky tap or debating anything and everything, Neil always had an answer (usually the right one). He had a knack for solving problems, lending a hand, or just making you laugh when you needed it most.

A memorial will be held to honor Neil’s life, with the date to be announced soon. We will share updates with friends and loved ones in the coming weeks
