Precious Memories
As I sit here, heart heaviest I’ve ever known it to be. Not knowing how to wrap my head around…. nor phantom the thought of you not being here with me. So many memories from birth, a toddler, a teenager, to a young man. From your first breath, sideways smile, facial expressions, to some of your actions I just didn’t understand. Small things said like: he’s so quiet, laid back, easy going and cool. Just to be told he’s a new age model of an old version of you. “BeBe” I would always talk to you about life goals and lessons, based off my mistakes, possibilities and where to start. I would tell you that you are still young, apply your mind, you can have anything in life, so that you won’t have to work so hard. You would just be quiet and say yea…. hesitant saying, I know. And I’d ease off only a little to give you your time and space to grow. There are no words to tell you how proud I am of you and of the independent, responsible paths you began. Especially the people who crossed your path young and old said you’re such a well-mannered, respectable young man. I’m going to pause this conversation, but only where this pen and paper meet. But we’re gonna pick back up in my every thoughts, awake and in the little bit of time that I try and sleep. Now I have to practice what I’ve preached, stay strong and never quit. In the meantime, say hello to Papa David and your uncle Twigg. I have some things to handle here; Lord knows it’s a lot. Until I see you again, you know…. It’s me…. Your Pops.
Obituary
Mr. Brennan “BB” Desuan McNeil was born on July 11, 1994 to Carlos McNeil and Angela Cameron Williams in Chapel Hill, NC. He transitioned from earth to eternity on August 4, 2017 in Sanford, NC.
“BB” was an avid basketball player. He loved fishing, wrestling with his siblings, riding with the windows down, banana pudding and he loved “Thor” (his dog). Brennan had a special love for children. He loved life. Brennan “BB” was loving, kind and full of humor, always carrying an infectious smile. We will always remember his swag entering a room with that sideway grin and squint in his eyes. “BB” was the coolest of cool and had a way of charming those around him. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, David McLean and his uncle, David “Twigg” McNeil. Mr. Brennan Desuan “BB” McNeil will truly be missed by all who knew him, especially his family. He leaves to cherish his memories: his parents, Carlos McNeill and Angela Cameron Williams (Tyrone); four brothers, Devonte McNeil, Maurice McNeil and Antwon Ellerby all of Sanford, NC and Quentin Ingram of Charlotte, NC; two sisters, Kourtney Ellerby of Sanford, NC and Chassity Williams of Raleigh, NC; maternal grandparents, Sandra Loft (Robert) of Sanford, NC; and Blue Cameron of Southport, NC; paternal grandmother, Joyce McLean of Sanford, NC; Apostle Joseph and Pastor Pansy Green of Sanford, NC; great grandparents, Gertrude Snipes of Sanford, NC, Edward Hooker (Vergie) of Charlotte, NC, William Green of Sanford, NC and Effie Lyles of Richmond, CA; he also leaves to cherish his memories eight aunts, two uncles, three great aunts, five great uncles and a host of cousins, other relatives and friends.
