Christian McNeilis' Obituary
Christian Tyler McNeilis , 52, of Cornelius, NC passed away on Saturday, April 13, 2024. He was born and raised in Mesa, AZ, but came to NC in 2021 to help his elderly parents. He is survived by his mother, Shirley McNeilis; brother, Jason and his wife, Jamie, and their children, Alexis and JJ; and his other brother Robert.

Chris always marched to the beat of a different drummer. He didn’t care much for school but graduated from high school and a HVAC trade school. He never cared for fame or riches but made friends easily. His favorite music group was Black Sabbath. He was never into drugs or tattoos, but couldn’t give up his addiction to cigarettes, which caused his demise. He was also a huge Phoenix Suns & Arizona Cardinals fan. His mother often referred to him as a soft soul, quiet, eager to please and non-confrontational & very easy going.
