Today I rise to remember the life of Neysa Tonks. Neysa attended the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas on October 1. Neysa was a single mother to her three kids: Kaden, Braxton, and Greysen. She worked at Technologent in Las Vegas and was known as being a fireball from the minute she woke up to the minute she went to bed. Neysa was spontaneous, adventurous, and full of life. She loved waterskiing, ziplining, hiking, jumping off waterfalls, and traveling. She had even competed in a Tough Mudder with very little training. Despite her many adventures, she would always save time in the winter to carry out her tradition of packing hundreds of backpacks with supplies and delivering them to the less fortunate with her sons. Neysa was compassionate and had plans to retire early so she could spend more time with her boys. Neysa enjoyed going to concerts, laughing, and trying new things. Neysa is remembered as always being the life of the party. I would like to extend my condolences to Neysa Tonks' family and friends. Please know that the city of Las Vegas, the State of Nevada, and the whole country grieves with you. ____________________
