Kristopher Neal Obituary

I can't believe I just found out about Kris. I have stopped by the shop several times and just thought he wasn't home. He was incredibly talented and I have bought many pieces from him for myself and as gifts. He did some custom work for me a couple of times as well. I loved stopping by to talk with him about his art. He is certainly missed and my heartfelt Prayers are with his family and friends.

I only recently noted that the shop was closed and then found out of his passing. I was very saddened by this news. I enjoyed shopping in his store and have some of his pottery. He did beautiful work and seemed to enjoy making pottery. He was always friendly and kind and a nice person to talk to. I will definitely miss him and his store.

I began taking lessons with Kris when I relocated to Charleston from Connecticut in 2013. Over the next 2 and 1/2 years I learned to throw pottery and I learned all about Kris - he was kind and talented and funny - and an EXCELLENT teacher. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel.

I only recently learned that Kris is no longer with us, and I'm devastated. Since becoming friends at the local dog park, I always looked forward to seeing Kris and chatting with him about TV shows and life in general. I miss him, and my heartfelt condolences go out to Lola, Pepper, his friends, and his family.

Oh, I'll miss this kind fellow. He was more than my teacher; he became my friend. A good listener. He enjoyed my foreign exchange students. We shared our love for dogs. Rest In Peace kind soul.

i will never forget growing up with you!! we had some good times at the Inn i will always think of you as my brother!! Rest easy my friend!!!

I just learned of Kri's passing...the only thing I can say is that I am shocked and deeply saddened I taught pottery classes at Fire & Earth several years ago and considered Kris a friend and mentor. He was instrumental in my growth and education as a potter. What an incredible artist and a beautiful soul... he is sorely missed

I didn't know Kris personally but, I am a pottery student and got many of my ideas from his instagram posts. I have always been inspired and amazed by his work and am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. My condolences for his family. RIP

So sad to hear about such a wonderful potters passing, Kris inspired me every time I watch his videos on Instagram.
My love from a fellow potter

I will never forget the good times we had growing up!!! You will forever be in my memories!!!

Kris,
You were a great artist and fantastic person. We will keep your energy and ideas alive.

My heart still hurts over Kris's passing. He was my neighbor, my friend, my pottery teacher, and a fellow dog lover. He was loved and will always be missed. Rest in Peace, dear Kris, until we meet again.

I just learned of Kris' passing and I am shocked and devastated. I knew Kris from the local dog park as he was a regular and so am I. His dogs Lola & Pepper were great friends of my dogs. Kris was always friendly and full of life, whether talking about the latest episode of his favorite show, doting on his pups or just asking how everyone's day was going. My sincerest condolences to Kris' family.

Kris will live in my heart forever.

Kris, thanks for being a positive and uplifting friend, you could always make a person or animal feel welcome. I will miss your wit and conversations, you will not be forgotten. My sincerest condolences to your family. You've left great memories at the dog park.
