Neil was an exceptional person with a way to always make you feel welcomed. I am blessed to have had opportunities to listen to his stories and honored to call him a friend. Vero Beach has definitely lost a great resident and the world has lost a great man. My condolences to the entire White family.

With deepest sympathy from my family to Neil's family. He was a dear 1st cousin to me. I've often wished that the many miles between us had not kept us apart for years at a time, even though they have. I'm so thankful for every moment I ever spent in Neil's presence, he was a beloved cousin, and so dear to my heart. There are so many fond memories of sharing happy times together.
My family's thoughts and prayers are with you all through this time of loss. Neil's sweet smile, laughter and his generous loving heart will truly be missed.
With love!

You will be greatly missed, Neil. Your smile would light up the room. Every time I saw you, I could always expect a hug and kiss from you. You were a man of few words, but loved your family and the Gators more than anything! Please watch over Austin from above as he grows up in this crazy world. I'll make sure he remembers his "Grandpa Neil" and how much you loved him. Rest in peace and Go Gators!! Xoxo
