Andy, Marsha, Lexi and Bryce Martin
My heartfelt sympathy to the family. Neal was such a super-nice guy. He was smart, funny, generous, caring, motivated and honest. I’ve lived so far away for so long but I miss you all still. I’ll get my Boys to say a pray for him and your family.
With great sincerity,
The Selesky Family
I am deeply saddened by Neal’s passing. My heart goes out to his family, especially his mother, wife and sons. I pray the lord gives you all comfort and strength and that he provides Neal a very special place in heaven. He will be missed by so many.
Neal will always be remembered for his continued efforts to help his fellow man. He was loved and respected by many. A loving father who adored his family and honored his wife. He leave a wonderful legacy to his boys and those that knew him. He was a tireless servant of God and was always sewing god will into the lives of others. I loved his sense of humor. I will also respected his clinical skills as a chiropractic physician and leader in his community. He will be missed by many, yet his influence has helped raise the bar for us all.
Becky, our prayers go out to you and your family. We’re so very sorry for your loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time…
It was a privilege and an honor to have known Dr. Sayers both professionally and socially. I had the utmost respect for him professionally but most importantly as a brother in the faith. His willingness to offer prayer and support with a brother’s spiritual battles will never be forgotten.
My prayers are with his beloved family, patients, and staff. May The Lord grant them the peace and serenity through these hard times.
He will be missed.
It is with a heavy heart that I send this message to the family of one Dr. Neal Sayers.
Neal entered into my life when I was introduced to him by one of his close friends, who after my wife had shared with him my medical situation where I was suffering with a critical and painful spinal condition. A single call is all it took and Neal after reviewing various films, he put together a plan to help me recover and recover I did. To his immediate family, that includes hIs lovely wife Becky and son’s Trevor, Andrew and Cameron, you can be most proud of your husband and father, for all of the health issues that he skillfully helped so many patients resolve. I personally will miss his friendship and comments about how badly I played at the game of golf! In his honor and memory this Sunday, I personally plan on hitting one into the water. Since I perform this act quite regularly I will always mention my good friends name by stating here’s one for my friend Neal! With all respects, God our Father is going to have his hands full with this wonderful lad!
How sad to hear of the loss of DR Sayers. I am so sorry for his family. I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless you all.
I’m in shock!! What happened? I haven’t seen Dr. Sayers in a couple years but what a fantastic doctor he was. We traded gardening tips and plants. He will be greatly missed.
Dr. Sayers was the individual who pushed me into physical therapy school, which changed my life forever. He was a fantastic mentor, doctor and father–truly amazing individual. I will miss him. For his wife, Becky and his three boys, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care.

Becky, Trevor, Andrew, and Cameron…I am so very sorry for your loss. Dr. Sayers was always a very ambitious, kind, and good hearted man who loved his family above all else. Becky, you were and always will be the love of his life and boys, never ever doubt how much your dad loved you. Every time I saw him he was always bragging about how wonderful his family was. He was a great chiropractor and will be sorely missed in the community. God bless you all and comfort you during this difficult time. Sarah
Becky, Trevor, Drew, Cameron words cannot express the sadness we feel for you at this time. Dr. Sayers was a wonderful employer and friend to all of us. So full of life, witty and charming. He will be so missed. John and I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to all of you.
My prayers are with Dr Sayers’ family and his office staff. He was a caring person who will be very much missed.
Becky, Trevor, Andrew, and Cameron,

Dr. Sayers will be missed. He was a wonderful man. We all are so sorry and sad for your family. May God give you the peace we are not capable of at a time like this. We are praying for you and your family. With love and prayers, Tonya Boss and family.
I was so shocked to find out about Dr Sayer. I pray God will give you all the comfort, strength and peace you need at this time and for the future as only He can give. No words can express how my heart is crying with you at this time. We will greately miss this special man.
There are no words to measure my shock. Dr. Sayers was a man of compassion, generosity, and skill. I loved that he was a believer and I am comforted to know he is with his Heavenly Father. I will miss me terribly. He was an extrodinary man and loved, respected, and cared for by so many. My thoughts and prayers to Becky and sons… he spoke of them often and so fondly. Paul and Julia McMichen
Becky, Treavor, Andrew, Cameron and Mrs. Coyne,
Words cannot express the sympathy that I have for all of you during this time of loss. Not only did Neal and I have a professional relationship but we were really good friends. He was always talking about the accomplishments of the boys and how well they were doing in school and in sports. He used to brag about Becky working in the law firm and what a big loss she was to the practice. I will truly miss my friend – he was a very special man with a huge heart. May God Bless all of you!
So very sorry for your loss. Neal was a great man. May Gods grace comfort your family in the coming days and months.
Dr. Sayers was more than a man who could have you walk out of his office when you crawled in. I have known Dr. Sayers for 5 years and am proud and honored to call him friend. He was always there with an ear, a shoulder, and a hug. He saw through to the person and not just the client. He has touched my heart and my life and I take all advise and encouragement with me. There are times when what he may have said months ago comes through and Im like “oh yeah” Times like this makes you realize that when you think of someone you need to reach out to them and one never knows what tomorrow holds. I am so sorry that I can not attend todays service. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you Doc and with Becky and your beautiful family. Thank you for being there for me and thank you for your continued care for myself and my son. You will be missed but never forgotten. I am thinking of you Dr. Sayers!!
Becky,Trevor, Andrew and Cameron,
I am so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your husband and father. I know these are difficult times and I am praying for you. I knew Neal as a fellow colleague and beliver and visited with him at the Hillsborough County Chiropractic Society and Florida Chiropractic Association meetings. He will surely be missed. May God put his arms around you and comfort you and you feel His presence at this time.
Becky: We are so sorry to hear about this. Our hearts break for you and your family. Please let us know if you need anything. We are here for you and you will continue to be in our prayers. Love and God Bless,

As many have said, Dr. Sayers was more than a chiropractor to his patients. He was a friendly ear and a great advice giver on life. My heart goes out to the family, but I know their faith is strong. God needed Dr. Sayers’s expertise in heaven; angels wings, you know! xxoo
Our hearts go out to the Sayers’ family during this time. May peace soon replace your heartache.
So sad to hear this news. Neal was a wonderful neighbor. We will miss his infectious smile, his enthusiasm for life, the heart and soul (not to mention the pure artistry) he put into renovating his house for his growing family, the way he was ready to lend a hand to anyone. And there were all the little touches (the magnificent Christmas lights and wonderful decorations he put up each year for his boys, the beautiful flowering trees he planted for his wife). Few people leave a footprint on a neighborhood. Neal did and while he will be sorely missed, he will not be forgotten. – Kathy & David Sheehan
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are for you & your family.

Saddened by the sudden loss of Dr Sayers. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to Becky and their children. I am at a loss for words. He was great man and physician who loved to talk about his love for God and his church family.
Our love and prayers are with your whole family. Neal was as awesome chiropractic physician and indeed much more as a man of God. David loved the chances he had to get out on the golf course with Neal..and I have missed his chiropractic care since we moved to Ft. Myers. Neal was so much to so many and he will be greatly missed. Becky, we pray that you will be embraced by the comforting power of the Holy Spirit at this time. Much love and prayers to you all. David & Belinda Theoret …former members of the Grace Family Church.
As a colleague of Neal’s, he was an impressive wealth of knowledge as well as a driven and accomplished businessman. He will be greatly missed by his community, his colleagues, his friends, his patients, and most of all, his loving family.
Our thoughts & prayers go out to the Sayers family in this time of sorrow.
From the Sayers neighborhood family .. Brandt Lake & Brandt Shores
I had the opportunity to get to know Neal through professional affiliation. During that time I quickly learned how much Neal cared deeply about those around him, his patients, his friends, his family, and his spiritual relationship. May you all find strength during this difficult time, my prayers are with you.

I learned today of the passing of our Chiropractic Classmate, your beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend. The Logan Chiropractic College, Class of Aug 8, 1998, extend our Deepest Sympathies to all lives touched by Dr Neal Sayers. He excelled in school with us and constantly aimed to set the curve for the high grade on tests. As word has spread thru our Classmates, we share in your shock and grief and with heavy hearts we Pray for Comfort for his wife and boys. We are soo very sorry for your Loss. Rest in Peace Neal.
Doc was so much more to me than an incredible healer. We talked about politics, vacation destinations, BMWs (sorry Becky – I aided and abetted that purchase), leadership, building cars, racing, and politics – did I mention that already? He cared for the entire person and I looked forward to seeing him each time in the office. What an incredible caring, funny, intelligent, good man. I will miss him so very much. God bless and care for his beautiful family whom he obviously loved so very much. On Angels’ Wings…
My condolences to Becky,Trevor,Andrew and Cameron on your terrible and unexpected loss. Neal was a dedicated professional beloved by his patients with whom I had an honor to work with. We will all miss him greatly.
My deepest sympathy
Our condolences to your family.We did not know Dr.Sayers but was a neighbor in the Brant Shores community.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness my family feels about Dr. Neal Sayers’ death. His absence leaves a heartache that no one can heal, but the Love of God grants a comfort that no one can steal. May the blessings of the Lord, His perfect peace and the prayers of the righteous be upon you (his familyfriends) until you meet him in Heaven…
With sincere sympathy~a devoted patient~Caren J.
I’m 17 years old & began seeing Dr. Sayers this year due to a cheer injury after he had taken care of my mother for a while. He treated me like I was his daughter. Always giving advice & encouragement like he’d known me all my life. My family chose to attend Grace Family Church because of Dr. Sayers. My mother said “Someone that nice has to come from a good family via blood or church”. He will be missed by many. I’m so sorry for your loss but happy for Heaven’s gain! May God Bless You All.
To Becky and family,

There are no words to express the sadness of losing this wonderful man. My blessings to his family. He will be missed by many.
Doc, I will miss our daily office banters so much. I’ll miss your generosity, sense of humor, questions, answers…all of it. To call you a “boss” is grossly inadequate. I know, without a doubt, that you’re aware of your impact and I’m grateful for that. God bless you.
Becky, Trevor, Andrew and Cameron, please accept my most sincere condolences for your loss. I have a heavy heart just imagining your grief. May God comfort you and grant you peace that surpasses all understanding.
Our family wishes to express our deepest condolences to Becky and the boys, family, and staff of Dr. Sayers. He was a wonderful doctor, adored his family, patients, and church family. I enjoyed our conversations during my treatments and always learned a lot from him, and I respected him greatly. Dr. Sayers not only aided in healing my back injury but shared many wonderful nuggets of wisdom, as I know many would agree. He was not ashamed to talk about his faith and opinions on the day’s topics and just going to the office, one could feel the love that filled that place. We are so, so sorry.
Not many people touch the lives of others with the compassion and healing that Dr. Sayers has done mine. He will be terribly missed by many. My sincere condolences to his family.
Our deep sympathies go out to you, Becky, and to your amazing sons. We heard of your loss on Saturday night. Know that our hearts cry with you and call out to our Lord on your behalf. May His compassion surround you all like a warm embrace. “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psa 34:17 18.
Dear Becky and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of a great man. Doc has meant so much to me over the years I have known him even before he had his own practice.
I believed so much in him. May God bless you and your family and heal your sorrow in such a difficult time.
Becky –
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news. I never had the pleasure of meeting your wonderful husband, but it sounds like he was an incredible man and doctor. My thoughts will be with you, your children and your family at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Kim

Dr. Sayers & family,

Dr. Sayers had only been treating me for the past 6 weeks, but I found him and his staff to be very knowledgeable, compassionate, and friendly. My appointment last Wednesday was abruptly cancelled due to a “family emergency” and rescheduled to today. Today is the day I received the astounding news, and I was shocked to tears. To Dr. Sayers’ family, my sincere condolences and stay strong in your faith. It will surely help you through this most difficult time.
I am saddened to hear of Dr. Sayers’ death. He was a compassionate man and a wonderful healer. My prayers are with his family.
I was just told of his passing today. I am deeply saddened by this. I have know Dr. Sayers since I was a young teenager and he has seen me grow so much. I met him at Grace Family Church and since then he was my chiropractor. I know he and his family had strong faith and will get through this rough patch in life. I am truly sad to have heard this, but I will be in continuous prayer for the Sayers family.
Becky, My heart is very heavy as I just learned about Neals passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Neal was an amazing husband, father and friend. He was also a man of God.

My heartfelt sympathy, Dr. Sayer will be greatly missed.
Just read the unbelievable news in a story about charity in last week’s tribune. Dr Sayers treated me last year for back pain. He was a truly compassionate physician who aimed to treat each patient holistically, addressing individual needs and concerns and providing personalized guidance. He seemed to form a speical bond with each patient. May God comfort his family and devoted staff at this most difficult time
I unfortunately did not hear of this tragic loss until today, December 27. My heartfelt condolences to the family for the loss of this wonderful man. Dr. Sayers treated me for the past 10 years. He loved his family and took great care of his patients. He will be sorely missed. Donna Haiduven
What a wonderful, caring person, I still speak of him often. Dr Sayers was someone I was blessed to have known, I do not want to even think of where I would be today, if not for his caring and professional skills. I’m sorry I just learned of his passing. He touched so many hearts. R.I.P. Thanks for all you did for me.
Hi Beloved Family and Friends,
Today reading the Florida Chiropractic Journal I found out about Neals death. A doctor’s Doctor, he treated me several times and straight out of school he did a day or two clinic project for me. The world is a better place because of Dr. Sayers.
The Light of God surrounds you and the Love of God enfolds you. Wherever you are God is. We miss you………..Peace, Peace, Peace. George Forster DC
I’m in shock to just find out about Neal passing away Nov. 2012. Neal, Suzie and Syliva became a part of my family in the late 70’s. My parents aka, Aunt Bert and Uncle Glen were so proud so you. As we grew up, married and had children we grew apart and lost contact with each other, but I will always carry my great childhood memories close to my heart. May you RIP Neal.
I am so sad to hear about the passing of Dr. Sayer. I remember when he opened up on Water Than moved out of the area, but as soon as i moved to Tampa the first chiropractor I thought of when i returned for my husband & I back care. I am sadden he is gone and he will be deeply missed. GOD BLESS his family…the Heavens have a wonderful man with healing hands other than God himself to help out
