Neil A. Garvis

Still miss him, and that brazen 'Take Life by the Horns' attitude.

Went to high school with Neil. Just class friends, but he was really funny and had a great energy.

I found out Neil passed away last year. I'm so sorry to hear we lost a good friend. He did many of our projects with diligence and professionalism. And have always appreciated his good kindness. May he rest in peace and his family be comforted knowing his influence lives on in all he touched.

Neil may have been gone for a year, but his positive outlook on life is still as contagious as ever, and continues to influence my daily attitude in so many ways. He is still sorely missed.

I just found out that Neil had passed away.
I knew Neil for many years in the pest control industry.
He came to many of my training classes and it was a joy to have him in my classes.
I will miss my friend. He was a class act.

I just learned about Neil’s passing. We worked together doing medical services at events in Houston. My sincere condolences and deepest prayers to the family.

We, like many, were clients of Neil’s and we just found out about his passing. What an amazing life testimony he had. I loved his visits because his conversations were positive, hilarious and inspiring. I heard all about his beautiful family, baseball, his transplant and his wonderful neighbors. He was so kind to our children too. He is missed even by those not close to him! Praying for your family during this time.

Garvis family: My husband and I were so saddened to hear of Neil's passing. We loved him. He was always a ray of sunshine when he came to the house. He gave me such love and consideration just a year ago when I lost my son. He got my grief and was so kind when my husband suffered 3 strokes and our lives changed forever. We shared "dance" talk about our granddaughter and his daughter. He was such a wonderful man and always made my day. He will be missed by so many but he has his angel wings now and is safe and happy. God bless you all.

We we're a client of Neil's and I had actually texted him on Jan 31st and he was trying to get someone to our house as he had been sick he said for 4 weeks and said he didn't wish this on anyone. He was always so nice and had told me about his cancer as I had gone thru it also. I am so sorry for his loss and we were shocked of his passing. We pray for your family and truly sorry!!

Krista, I did not hear of Neil's passing until last evening. We have been clients for so many years and this came as a shock to me. Our prayers are with you and the family. Neil was one of a kind and was just an incredible bright and shining light. Our prayers are with you.

I was just one of many of his clients that had the privilege of knowing him. His joy each time he entered my home, always lifted my spirits. I was so looking forward to his next visit, so it saddened me greatly to hear of his passing. May the Lord shower His love, comfort and peace upon his family and friends during this difficult time.

My heartfelt condolences to the Garvis family. I only heard a few days ago of Neil’s passing. I’m sorry for your loss and will keep all of you in my prayers and thoughts during this difficult time.

Neal you were the best. We’ll miss you. Krista. My condolences to you and your family. Rose Bertus

Krista. I was shocked to see of Neals passing. He was such a loving person. Still remember babysitting for you so many years ago. Neal was a love. Please accept my prayers for you and your family. Rose Bertus

I didn’t know Neil, but I’ve known his beautiful wife, Krista, and her parents for many years. May God heal your heart, Krista, and the hearts of your children and family members. Thinking of you at this sad time.

We had very few encounters, but you had a way of making me feel like we were great friends. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend your wedding, as Krista and I went to school together. I still recall how true your love for each other was on that day. It has been a joy to see your family grow through the years. I know you will be missed by them and the many lives you touched. God Speed my friend.

We always enjoyed it when Neil would drop by the Coastal Mosquito office. We'd sit in the kitchen and tell stories or he'd have some goofy joke. For those of us lucky enough to know him, his smiling face and sense of humor will be greatly missed.

Neil had a heart of gold and would make us laugh all laugh with some of his silly jokes. Rest in Peace and you continue to shine upon your family and friends as well as all of those you touched.

For Neil and his family....My family moved in across from the garage side of their home 9 plus years ago....from that vantage point, I feel like we had the best seats you could ever have.....their Fourth of July Celebrations, birthday events, sometimes with the perfect amount of lunacy that came with that.....the chance to literally watch Emma and Fisher grow up.....I could go on all day but I will just sum it up by saying that in all these years, and many moves, Neil and his family get my BEST EVER NEIGHBORS AWARD...Neil will be sorely missed.....his unbelievable energy and support was there when needed...he could carry his own heavy load and that of others...God bless Neil and his family. The Wosnitzky Family..

Neil, I never got to thank you. I am a better person for having known you. You embodied the concept that 'life is a precious gift, not to be squandered.' Your quick wit, and your bear hugs when visiting the market will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Rest with the angels, my friend. And put in a good word for us, please.

Rest in peace Cookie. Whoever wrote your obit did a great job! I’ll always cherish our times together in Sigma Chi and glad I had an opportunity to know you. I hope your family can find peace during this difficult time.

In Hoc,
Thomas Holloway

Rest in peace Neil. You inspired many with your endurance, your will to live, and your love of life and family. We will take that inspiration and examples of a life well lived and in turn, use them to make life better for others.

To Neil's family,
No words can heal such a loss but please, may your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

You will be sorely missed. May you rest in peace and God grant comfort to your family, friends and many loved ones.

May wonderful memories bring comfort

Rest In Peace brother!
