Neil Nathan Amitay
January 24, 2022
On January 24, 2022, our beloved son, brother and uncle passed away after 55 years of a tumultuous life, during which he touched many people’s lives, evincing and engendering joy, affection and compassion wherever he went. Who was not uplifted by his disarmingly beautiful smile, charm, gregariousness and exquisite functional art? Anyone who received a personalized masterpiece knows that this was one of his many ways of showing how much he thought about and valued you. Throughout his life, Neil was a relentless fighter and survivor whose resilience and resourcefulness helped carry him through adversities, traumas, tragedies and hardships that would have caused many others to give up. Regardless of his circumstances, he kept surging forward, seemingly enveloped by an aura of love, energy and radiance. As brightly as Neil’s light could shine, it was regrettably dimmed at times by his personal demons – the same demons that ultimately took his life. We will remember our dear Neil the way he deserves to be remembered. For anyone who would like to share your memories or condolences, you may do so at www.aftercare.org.
