This site is dedicated to the memory of Nevil Vega who was a high school teammate and best friend of Larry Brown. The 24-year-old was shot and killed outside a house party in North Hollywood, CA on October 15th, 2006. Nevil was an accomplished athlete; he won team MVP honors in both baseball and basketball, and was a Los Angeles All-City selection in baseball. After graduating from high school, Nevil played a year of professional baseball in Nicaragua.
Nevil was the 2nd oldest of 4 children. He spent the first half of his life in Nicaragua and the second half in Los Angeles. His youthful enthusiasm, impregnable loyalty, and utter enjoyment of life should serve as an inspiration to everyone to enjoy life and pursue their dreams.
