Las Vegas Shooting: Tech Firm Worker, Mom Of 3 And Joke Maker, Slain

LAS VEGAS, NV — Neysa Tonks, a 46-year-old mother of three boys who worked for a technology solutions company in Las Vegas, was slain in Sunday night's shooting rampage.

Tonks' employer, Technologent Inc., remembered her as a "great mother, colleague and friend."

"Neysa has brought so much joy, fun and laughter to Technologent — she will be greatly missed by all!" the California-based company said in a statement.

The company created a GoFundMe page to help raise money to help her family. (For more information on the shooting victims and other Las Vegas stories, subscribe to Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts. If you have an iPhone, click here to get the free Patch iPhone app.)

Tonks grew up in Utah. Her brother, AJ Yerage, told the CBS affiliate in Salt Lake City that he felt "lucky" that Tonks was a part of his life and that she loved making jokes.

"I can hear her laugh, her voice in my head and my heart right now," Yerage told KUTV.
