Passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, December 14, 2023 at the age of 49. Cherished son of Brad and Deborah Sadler. Loving brother of Cam and Sarah Sadler. Adored uncle Neil of Zach, Leah, and James. Dear nephew of Bonnie MacKenzie, William and Barbara Johnston, Robert and Linda Sadler, and the late Doug and Lynn Sadler. Fondly remembered by his special friend Lisa and his many close friends who considered him family.
Neil was an outgoing and sociable friend who was always up for an adventure! He enjoyed fishing, motorcycling with his fellow Grumpy Old Dogs (Dad included), boating and anytime spent at our family cottage. He was an avid Detroit Red Wings fan and super fan to his favourite South Huron Sabres- Zach, Leah and James. Neil always maintained a very positive and optimistic outlook on life and he took on each challenge life dealt him with determination and courage. He was very well liked by everyone he crossed paths with and made lasting impressions on so many.
The family would like to thank Dr. Jadd, Theresa Parsons and all the staff at South Huron Hospital for their care and compassion over the years and most recently.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Neil’s life will be held the Exeter Legion, 316 William Street, EXETER on Saturday, May 4th from 1 – 4 PM.
Donations to Diabetes Canada would be appreciated by the family.

Brad, Deb, Sarah, Cam, & family,
My heart hurts to hear of Neil’s passing. Growing up next door Neil was like the older brother we never knew we wanted or needed. I don’t have many memories where he wasn’t grinning from ear to ear. He had some tough roads to go down and met everyone of them with a smile on his face. He had a magnetic personality and had a demeanor to him that just put you at east no matter what the situation.
He will be fondly remembered, and missed by all those who were lucky enough to have known him.
My thoughts & prayers, & deepest condolences to all of you.

Neil was a good friend so full of life.
Adventures to remember.
Bottles in the shed, tours to keep you occupied, shooting the shit in the garage, tech support, and endless text messages.
So many laughs and such a positive outlook.
“I am ok brother, there are people way worse off than myself”.
When I get out of here we are going to retire together and travel (oh and Diane can come too).
No pictures for evidence just great times and many memories.
RIP Wheel
