Dear family, friends, and supporters,

With a heavy heart, I share the heartbreaking news of the passing of my daughter’s father, my lifetime best friend, Neil Patrick Lavallis. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and was taken from his loved ones by this horrible disease on June 10, 2025. Our family is devastated as we grieve the loss of such a kind, high-spirited, vibrant, humorous, and deeply cherished soul.

Neil leaves behind his only child, Annea, and his two beautiful granddaughters. He has touched the lives of so many with his genuine love for everyone.

I have created this campaign to help lay him to rest. Unfortunately he did not have life insurance. Neil told his daughter that his wish is to be laid to rest in the same cemetery where his parents are which is another county. Annea would like to honor his wishes and give him a beautiful service that he truly deserves.

In this difficult time, we are asking for your support to help cover funeral & burial expenses, as well as any unexpected medical bills. Any contributions, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference.

We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love, kindness, and support we have already received. Please feel free to share this campaign
