Obituary

David Jadie Nevill

Dave was born to John and Marjorie Nevill on February 17th, 1957 in Lynwood, California.
He was the youngest of three brothers, Bill Maris, Mike Nevill and Dave Nevill.
Dave ended up in Costa Mesa, California during his early years. Dave continued on and found his first love to be music. He was a skilled drummer and part of various bands including Good Neighbor John, Agent X, and Rollokor. During his years as a drummer, Dave met his wife Sue. They were married when he was 24 and 2 years later had their daughter Leslie. Dave had a talent for drawing and he used his talent to draw cartoon characters for his daughter and liked to make his coworkers and friends laugh with his artwork. Dave always loved being silly and having a good laugh. Another side of Dave was his interest in history. He could sit for hours and discuss history, and especially was interested in WWII. Above all other things he enjoyed football. He was crazy about the Raiders. He would get himself all riled up during the Raider games and will always be remembered as one of the biggest Raider fans.

During the early ’90’s, Dave moved to Colorado. Although he was no longer married he always remained close with Sue and Leslie. Leslie would visit him in the summers and Dave would come to California to visit Leslie. Dave made sure to attend Leslie’s junior high school graduation, her high school graduation and her 16th birthday. Dave and Leslie were best friends, they talked and texted regularly.

While living in Colorado, Dave eventually met his 2nd wife Dana in 1997 and had his son Jadie in 1998. Denver Colorado is where he remained until his early passing at the age of 52. Dave will always be remembered for his loving heart, his music, art, intellect and hilarious sense of humor.

We will all miss him deeply.

  1. Leslie,
    I just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our time with your Dad in December. He was a great guy. I know it was a special time for him too because even though it wasn’t the best of times, he was able to spend the holidays with you. He loved spending time with you and Jon.
    You know what a talker he was and his favorite topic of conversation was you. He loved you very much and was so proud of you. We will miss him too.
    All our love,
    Aunt Barbara, Jeff and John

    DEAR LESLIE, MY HEART IS IN PAIN FOR YOU, MORE THAN MYSELF, AS MUCH AS I LOVED YOUR DAD, I KNOW HOW CLOSE THE TWO OF YOU WERE, ALWAYS. WE ALL THREE SHARED SOME REALLY FUN TIMES. WE WENT TO COLORADO SPRINGS, THE FIRST TIME I REMEMBER THAT YOU HAD GOT MAD AT BOTH YOUR DAD & I FOR SKATING FASTER THAN YOU AT THE OLD FASHION SKATING RINK, AS YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT DAVE & I, AS MOST KIDS OF THE EARLY 70’S HAD SPENT MANY WEEKENDS AT THE OLD ROLLER RINK IN COSTA MESA.
    I REMEMBER THE THREE OF US GOING TO DECKERS CAMPGROUND, BY THE RIVER #2 SUMMERS. THE FIRST TIME WE HAD THE BIG GREEN TENT AND OF COURSE, YOUR DAD HAD TO TRY & BUILD THE BIGGEST CAMPFIRE!! THAN YOU TWO OUT PLAYING IN THE RIVER AND TRYING TO CATCH A FISH W/ THAT STINKEY FLOURESCENT FISH BAIT!! THAT DIDN’T WORK BUT YOU BOTH HAD FUN.
    LESLIE, YOUR DAD WAS A HARD WORKING MAN ALWAYS. I REMEMBER DAVE WORKING OUTSIDE IN THE COLD WITH BELOW FREEZING TEMP’S., AND SOMETIMES IT WAS BELOW ZERO.HE WAS RELIABLE IN THIS SENSE.
    THAN AS A COUPLE YEARS WENT BY, …I FOUND OUT “”MILITARY SECRET”” THAT HE WAS REALLY A GOOD COOK!! HIS BEEF STROGANOFF WAS THE FIRST, THAN CAME THE CHILE, AND HE COULD COOK A POT ROAST AS WELL AS I COULD.
    DAVE WAS ALWAYS MAKING ME LAUGH, AS WELL AS ANYONE ELCE IN THE ROOM. THIS WAS ONE OF HIS MOST ENDEARING QUALITIES, AND ANOTHER QUALITY IS THAT HE WAS THE MOST “LOYAL” MAN THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN.
    I KNOW THAT HE IS IN HEAVEN AND WE WILL BOTH SEE HIM AGAIN. NOW HE IS SAFE.
    I KNOW THAT YOU, HIS DAUGHTER, WERE ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTAINT PERSON IN HIS LIFE.
