FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio – A memorial motorcycle ride in honor of 29-year-old Brent Neal, who died last month from injuries sustained in a crash, is set for Saturday at 11:30 a.m.
The ride will begin at Legends Bar & Grill in Hamilton, with proceeds directed toward purchasing a headstone for Neal’s final resting place. Neal was airlifted to the hospital following a collision with a car, passing away nearly a week later.
According to family members, the community has rallied around them, providing support during this difficult time. Alicia Neal, Brent’s mother, reported an outpouring of messages from individuals whose lives he impacted.
“Little did we know, he was building an army for us,” said Alicia Neal, referencing the friends who have supported the family since his death.
Alicia emphasized Brent’s legacy extends beyond his life, as he was an organ donor. His organs have already aided at least eight recipients, offering comfort to his family. “It gives me so much pride. I’m so proud of him,” Alicia added.
At the time of the incident, Brent Neal was described as working on personal growth and reconnecting with faith. The ride serves as a final tribute to his memory, drawing attention to his positive impact on others.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, with no additional details released at this time. Lane closures are expected along the route during the event.
