In his 89th year passed peacefully into his Father’s care on May 25, 2024
after a long and difficult battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Born in Arlee, Saskatchewan, Neville moved with his family at a very young age to Niagara-on-the-lake where they lived until moving to Niagara Falls. Left to mourn the loss are his loving wife, Kathleen (Kathy), his 3 children, Ritchie, Shelley (Frank) and Steven (Nina). Neville is also mourned by his sister Mabel Tripet (late Phil) Delores Redekop (late Ben), and brothers Larry (late Beata) and Levine. Neville was the loving grandfather of Caitie Martin (Graham) of California, Joshua Martin (Molly) of New
York, Aislinn Jones (Ramsay) of Welland, Cameron Borisenko (Lindsay) of Oshawa, Connor
Borisenko of Oshawa and Jacob Borisenko (late), Michael and Benjamin Sharpe. Neville was
also the proud great grandfather of Lydia Weston-Miller, Ophelia Martin and Denzil Martin of
Port Byron, New York. He will also be sadly missed by Yoko, Olivia and Sebastian Miele and
by his brother-in-law John Dickson and his wife Deborah. Also mourning the loss are his
nieces and nephews.
Neville dedicated his career to the construction industry, working as a structural steel estimator
for Newman Steel, Penberthy and Attic Mechanical. His expertise and attention to detail were
unparalleled and he took great pride in his work. In his personal life Neville’s true passion was
wood working. His skill with tools and his eye for design were truly amazing. From crafting
furniture and playground sets to toys for his grandchildren, Neville’s creations were a testament
to his talent and dedication.
Neville will be deeply missed by his family and all those who were fortunate enough to know
him. His legacy will live on through the countless projects he completed and the memories he
created with his loved ones.

begin at 1 pm. Interment will take place following the service at Stamford Presbyterian Church
Cemetery, 3121 St. Paul Avenue, Niagara Falls, ON.
Not ‘till the loom is silent, and the shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needful in the weaver’s skillful hands,
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.
Rest in peace Nev. We love you.
Donations to Rice Road Community Church would be appreciated by the family.
