I first met Hector through my friend Ismael Cala when I was videotaping at the Tropicana nightclub many many years ago. I clearly remember how welcoming and warm Hector was to me. He made me feel special. What a wonderful man. He certainly loved people and life. What a tragedy to loose him at such a young age. He will be missed greatly, but his kindness and special smile will live on forever.

Hector!! no fuimos amigos cercanos pero tuvimos el gusto de conocernos recuerdo las noches cuando Bailabas en el Convento Rico y ponias con mucho amor y energia todo lo q sabias en baile, eras un GRAN ARTISTA y a los grandes artistas e les recuerda con carinio.  Que Dios te tenga en su Gloria y ahora te toca poner a todos en el Cielo a bailar y mostrarles tu arte (BAILAR)asi como nos mostraste aqui en la tierra.  DIOS TE BENDIGA SIEMPRE A TI Y A TU FAMILIA

R.I.P. Hector Neira, to a well respected entertainer, & choreographer. He was my friend, & collegue that i had great respect & admiration for his wisdom, talent, dance education, & professionalism. We worked together sharing the same stage or movie set! His big contegous smile, sabor on the dance floor, and his knowledge for dance and choreography wowed audiences in Toronto. Strickly Salsa crew will miss u!

Hector will soon be creating a company in heaven and entertaining many people, including my dad who left us only 5 months ago.  You know what, because we loved them, they will never die.  Hector in your heart and y dad in mine, will live forever.
Héctor pronto creará una compañia en el cielo y entretendrá a mucha gente, incluyendo a mi papi quien no dejó hace 5 meses.  Sabes que porque los amamos tanto, ellos nunca morirán.  Héctor en tu corazón y mi papi en el mio vivirán por siempre.

Descanse em paz Hector.
Muito obrigado pela sua amizade e por ser vocÃª. AgradeÃ§o a todos os momentos de diversÃ£o que compartilhamos, rindo e conversando apenas sobre Cuba e Brasil. Eu nunca vou esquecer aquele sorriso seu.
Meus anjos cuidar de vocÃª.

Hector, your warm, kind and gentle spirit will live forever in my memory. Please rest in peace and watch over your beloved family & friends as I know you will. 

Love always, John.

What I learned this week about Hector's life is how much he was loved, not only his latino family, but by all of his friends and people who knew him and how much his love for them brought them all back together.  Even though I couldn't understand the language, I could understand the love.

Hector, I didn't know much about you but I loved what I knew. Wish I'd had the chance to know you better.

I met Hector many many years ago. Its been so long, I am not even sure the year. Hector was a kind, happy and generous man who always had a funny story to tell or an infectous smile to share. We shared many great times and laughter too over those years. He will be missed by thousands of people who knew him through that wonderful smile!
Rest in Peace my dear friend,
Rick Deschamps

When i first met hector i was definetly shocked to how well we got along he got me thru some ruff times in my life, He was there whenever i needed to talk to someone or even if just i needed to be in same room. He had a way of making everything seem so much better, I will miss those times and treasure every memory of him for as long as i live. He will be greatly missed. RIP

Cuando un amigo muere,muere solo su cuerpo, por que sus recuerdos siempre quedan presentes en lo mas profundo de las personas que compartieron contigo un instante,una alegria,una tristeza,todo contigo fueron bendiciones, alegrias, Dios te dé el lugar que mereces alla en el cielo.

DESCANSA EN PAZ ALGUN DIA ESTAREMOS CONTIGO.

Cuantos anos de amistad,creo que ya pasan los 20,cuando llegue a cienfuegos, tu ciudad natal en cuba, a compartir el escenario en aquel show que hasta hoy no recuerdo el nombre, hay fuimos amigos junto a teresa , alina, vicente , luis enrrique RIP )ernesto,sandra,y tantos otros que compartimos tantos momentos de risa y corre corre, recuerdo que siempre se escuchaba tu risa por encima de tanto grito, y alboroto , hoy ya no escuchare tu risa , pero los recuerdos quedaran por siempre en mi corazon, al igual que se  quedaron en los pasillos  del hotel jagua,y hotel rancho luna,cuando llegastes a este pais de la mano de carole,gran mujer,que te amo, te cuido y guio, hasta tu ultima morada , descansa en paz amigo , solo te adelantastes en el camino a ensendernos la luz, como se ilumina el escenario al comienzo del show. ROCIO and family .

RIP Hector. It was an honor meeting and sharing wonderful moments with such a wonderful and talented man. You will be dearly missed by all. Love Rocio y Suharmys

Like I've said to you before Hector:

"98% de la alegria en Toronto se fue contigo hermano Hector...... muchos somos testigos de los miles de momentos de humor, energia positiva y muy buen gusto que nos regalastes, a travez de los años, aca. En vida, fuiestes el primero en muchas cosas y en muchas mas fuistes el mejor...amigo como pocos, alguien en quien confiar.....padre envidiable y atrevido aventurero; todas juntas fueron las causas que te hizieron ese ser que tanto vamos ahora a recordar...!

Hoy otra vez eres vanguardia y primero; sabiendo Dios de sus designios, te escogio para abrirnos ese desconocido camino y con tu luz guiarnos, tal vez cuando llegue el dia. Asi hasta en tu partida Hector, nos traes tranquilidad y otra vez nos ofreces tu confianza...!

Ve bien hermano Hector, que entre recuerdos y esperas alguna vez de nuevo, nos voveremos a encontrar...!

Gracias por lo que nos has dado...!"

May my dear friend Hector, rest in peace, and always be remembered by his super duper simle and his love for life and dance.
