Bobby Neil Waters was born on October 21, 1968, and after celebrating his 57th birthday has embarked on his final eternal hunting and fishing trip, having gone home to be with his Heavenly Father on Friday, October 24, 2025.

Neil is survived by his loving family: wife, Dana; 2 sons Thomas Waters and Brett Davidson (Danielle); 4 grandchildren, Ariel, Arabella, Stetson and Alex; his mother, Beverly Waters; 2 sisters Jan Davis and Tammy Jones (Johnny); and brother Charles Waters. He also loved all of his nieces and nephews along with other members of his extended family.
