of Little Rock, AR
April 23, 1986 - April 2, 2015
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (known as Little Rock, Arkansas) …
On April 23, 1986, a Jedi Master was born. Dr. Alex Scott Neville had a lifelong love affair with Pepsi, video games, and his soulmate of 12 years, Madison. We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Alex: When the lifeguard says no more cannon-balls, what he actually means is one more; in most circumstances the game of Mad Gab requires ruthless intent; and that there is never an inappropriate time to tell a joke.
Now, at the age of 28, we say goodbye to our Halloween loving friend as he answers the call given to him by his Maker. Alex was welcomed into his eternal galaxy on Thursday, April 2, 2015. His spirit is carried on by his wife Madison Mills Neville, his two sons Lawson Scott and Camden Alex, and an extended squadron of family and friends from every walk of life.
Alex was a fun-loving kid that mainly tried to escape the terror that comes from three older siblings. Raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, he grew in a home of compassion and love. At the age of 14 he met the concession stand girl of his dreams when he purchased a hotdog from Madison, but what she really sold him was a life of devotion. Alex was most happy while spending time with his son, Lawson. They enjoyed any outdoor activity but especially chasing around Alex and Madison's first "kids" fur-pups Scooter and Duke.
In addition to his wife and sons, Alex is survived by his parents David and Peggy Neville; sister Trina (Brendan) Rowlands; brothers Erik (Andrea) Neville and Jason (Amber) Neville; grandparents Robert and Joyce Ringer; and nieces and nephews Callie, Anna, Peyten, Ellery, Samuel, Parker, Weston, and Paxton. He leaves love to his wonderfully large extended family.
He is preceded in death by grandparents Dee Jay and Marget Neville.
With only 2 months left of pediatric residency, Alex planned to carry out his life's dream as a pediatrician. Alex would love for all family and friends to carry out his mission of loving and caring for the little ones of the world, especially the under-privileged children that so many times filled his heart with joy.
We invite you to share in the celebration of Alex's life! Visitation will be held from
6:00 8:00PM on Wednesday, April 8. Funeral service will be at 10:00AM on Thursday, April 9. Both will be held at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in Alex's name to the Chron's and Colitis Foundation of America. https://fundraise.ccfa.org/Neville
The family sends our gratitude for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support, and sends this one final message to our beloved: The Force will be with you, always.

A life dedicated to serve others and commit to caring for children is a true calling. A pediatrician must have compassion, patience and love for his patients and families - Alex had all these qualities and much much more. He will be forever missed by his family, friends and colleagues. Praying for peace, mercy and grace to Madison and her precious boys.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this difficult time. There is no hurt that out Lord and Savior can't heal. Alex was a good man, the lord needed one of his angles back so he sent for Alex. I can assure you of one thing. If we continue to live right. We will indeed see Alex again. Just know Alex is in a better place.

Madison, my heart is breaking for you and your sweet boys. But I have to admit that the obituary brought a smile to my face! Just as Alex was able to do. Once, our youth group went to a nursing home for a service project. Among the many things we did was put on a skit where he enthusiastically danced to and sang along with a track of "Elvira" by the Oak Ridge Boys! It was great! We lost touch after I graduated high school but every time I hear that song I think of him!
You and the entire Neville family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am truly disheartened by the news of Alex's passing. I pray for comfort for Madison and the children, as well as your family. I first met Alex and Madison through my best friend and fellow photographer Gwen Stanley Armbrust. I assisted in photographing their engagement photos, next were the bridals, and then the wedding. They were such a great couple and I truly enjoyed being a part of their special day. I will never forget it either because I was almost run over by the horse and carriage. I said all of that to say this, Alex will always live in Madison's heart until the Lord calls her home to be with her husband. I pray God's arms comfort you all until that day, and memories such as mine remind us of a forever friend. God bless.

Alex was a tremendous person, role model, and someone I am lucky to have known.

What a wonderful tribute to Alex, he sounds a lot like his Dad David with whom I went to school with and married his brother.
The love that is shown in his pictures with his family shows with no question., They meant everything to him. He will now be their Guardian angel, ...
Leaving 2 sons to make the world a better place and to help watch over their mom and family is a gift.
May you find joy and happiness Madison.
I pray you will always feel Alex's love.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. I have known Alex since junior high. While back then we did not associate as frequently, in more recent years I was privileged to work alongside him at UAMS. Alex was beyond kind and worked tirelessly to provide for our tiny patients and their families. He will be dearly missed by many.

Dear family of Alex...
We are Christians, however there are parables of other faiths that also hold great wisdom. This is one you may find of value:
"A woman went to the great Oriental wiseman, Buddha. She was seeking the answer to why her Husband / the Father of her children had died. The Omnipent Asian said the woman must first bring him 'A mustard seed from a home without sorrow.'
So, the woman set out on a sojourn. She traveled the globe, going from house to house. Throughout her travels she never found a household ignorant of grief. It was through this journey, the precious widow came to understand - all are visited by sadness - at different times and in different ways.
It was through this discovery, she found a pair of priceless solaces - one was Understanding and the other was Peace."
Our condolences, upon this untimely passing of dear Alex. May Jesus Christ bless Alex's family and friends - now and forevermore.

I am so sorry for the loss of your soulmate, and the father of your son's. I wish I had the words that would help your pain. But there is not a word that could lessen the pain you are experiencing. Alex and I had the opportunity working together surviving babies in the UAMS NICU. He was a wonderful person and Doctor! He truly loved his family! I pray for peace, and comfort for you, your son's and family.

I never met you Alex but I heard the stories of your impending venture as a doctor from Sue Tomayko one of your adoring fans. I also knew your mother in law Sharon, from when our two boys (Grant) and Shaun, my son, played soccer together years ago. Madison was only a young very pretty girl back then. Sue has kept me up with all the family stories and yours was a proud one. It is so pleasing to hear stories of people who have reached the pinnacle of success as you did. I'm so sorry you wont be able to live your dream but now you have another one, watching as an angel as your little ones grow up, hopefully like their Daddy, to give service to those in need. God Bless you in your new home of all homes!! Bless your family during this heart wrenching time, may God be with them.
