Heather Renee Bogard Neil, age 43, passed away on April 15, 2024. She was born on February 15, 1981, to Catherine Sue (Cook) and Steven Mark Bogard in Dallas, Texas. She married Brian Neil in Los Angeles, California on November 11th 2006. Heather was passionate about skincare and worked as an Esthetician, as well as a wonderful fulltime mother to her sweet “Peanut” Sadie.
Heather was always smiling and happy. She loved to travel. She loved sunshine and the beach; it was her happy place. If there was a box of fireworks laying around…lookout! Heather loved pyrotechnics! She loved roller coasters and thrill rides. She loved holidays, and Christmas was her favorite time of year. She could be found watching the movie “Elf” in her comfies on the couch snuggled up with her family.
Heather was sensitive and soft hearted, the most loving and caring person. Always concerned about other people's needs and never missed a family event. She would be cheering on Sadie at Soccer, Dance, gymnastics, and volleyball. Also supporting her nieces in all their dance shows.
Heather loved animals! and was often found holding bunnies with Sadie, snuggling cats and dogs, and anything furry and cute. She loved the funny sounds goats make at the fair.
80’s music was Heather’s favorite! She would jam out to the likes of Bon Jovi, Def Leopard, Aerosmith and many others. Her favorite song with Sadie was “Sweet child of mine” by GNR. She knew all the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby! and loved to dance and sing along to all her favorite songs.
Heather absolutely loved her Dad, she spent time with him cooking dinners, watching Sci Fi movies, going to Black tie events, and riding in his classic muscle cars.
Heather was a total foodie. She loved trying new and interesting foods. Hot sauce and vinegar were a must on everything. She ate frog legs in France, spaghetti in Rome, rocky mountain oysters in Amarillo, squid in the Dominican, and Foie Gras at any French restaurant.
Heather was a ton of fun! and always game to try something new, from skydiving, to wakeboarding, to snowboarding, and even home renovations.
A familiar question Heather would ask is “has anyone seen my lipgloss?” Heather loved to be beautiful and girly. She loved a mani pedi, and teaching Sadie all about hair and makeup.
Heather has a deep love of her Savior, Jesus Christ, and one of her favorite scriptures was all of 1st Corinthians chapter 13.
Heather was preceded in death by her beautiful mother Cathy Cook Bogard, whom she adored and missed dearly.
Heather is survived by her loving husband, Brian, her daughter, Sadie, her father, Steve Bogard, her brother, Blake and his wife, Caroline, her nephew, William Beckham Bogard; her niece, Sophia Catherine Bogard; her aunt Kristen; and her grandparents, Bill and Joanne Bogard.
