Bryan West Neskora, 58, passed away peacefully on Sunday October 6, 2024 in Houston, Texas surrounded by his wife, children and parents. He was born in Kingsville, Texas in 1966 to Daniel and Teanna Neskora.

After graduating from Baytown Sterling High School, Bryan attended Texas A&M University where he graduated with a degree in Economics and Finance. It is there that he met his future wife, Mary Speer. After graduation from A&M and getting married, Bryan earned his MBA from the University of Houston in 1991. Bryan and Mary then started their family and raised their three children, Ross, Danielle and Pierce, in The Woodlands and lived there for 27 yrs until they moved to Houston.

Bryan had a long and successful career in the Oil and Gas Industry. From January 1992 until May 2012, Bryan had various roles at Tenneco Gas/El Paso Energy, attaining the position of Senior Vice President and President of Operations. From 2012-2013, Bryan was Senior Vice President & COO at Copano Energy. From November 2013 until February 2022, Bryan was a partner, co-founder and COO at Navitas Midstream Partners located in The Woodlands. At Navitas, Bryan and his colleagues poured countless hours and passion into making Navitas successful. After retirement from Navitas, Bryan, Mary, family and friends traveled the world experiencing and enjoying life to the fullest. Bryan’s passion for everything outdoors has been passed down to his family - from hunting, to fly fishing, to hiking, to bungee jumping in New Zealand, to scuba diving and snorkel fishing in Key West and Mexico. Bryan’s other love was music which he shared with his wife and children. His greatest and proudest accomplishment was his family. He loved them deeply and has always been an incredible role model for being ethical and hard working.
