Mr. Chrisenberry attended Woodlawn High School and afterwards, joined the Navy; following four years in the military, he returned to Birmingham to build a successful construction company. He retired from construction in 2006. For those who knew Mr. Chrisenberry, he went by Neal, Mr. Neal, or Paw Paw. He was the life of the party, and everybody loved him. He had such a kind and generous soul and would give the shirt off his back for anyone. His son, Chris, was his most prized possession; they never went a day without talking to one another. Paw Paw ended every single phone call with, “tell the babies (Addison and Garrett) I love them and give them a kiss for me”. Mr. Neal will be greatly missed, but we know he is with Our Father in Heaven and we will see him again one day. Funeral service will be held at 2:00, service only, Tuesday, December 8th, at Faith Community Fellowship, Trussville campus. Pastor Steve McCarty will officiate.
