Both died instantly.<br />Passers-by who alerted the police first thought a car had caught on fire. It was only when police and paramedics arrived that they realised it was a motor cycle crash.<br />Family and friends still gathered at the Desperados' Club - of which Neville was a pioneer - were devastated when news of the tragedy broke.Neville's wife, Janine was still at the Club while Darryl’s wife, Chantal, had left for home a little earlier to take home their young daughter.Neville worked with his parents-in-law and wife at NEDS on Karellandman Street. He was described as a friendly, 'down-to-earth', genuine hard-working person with many friends. He is survived by Janine and two young children.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06027817067481487766noreply@blogger.com
