Ten Years Later: Jennifer Neville-Lake Keeps it 100 After Losing Fam to Drunk Driver 💔

The Breakdown

Okay, so like, September 27, 2015, was the day everything changed for Jennifer Neville-Lake. This dude, Marco Muzzo, was driving mad drunk after partying in Miami and plowed into her family's ride in Vaughan. He straight-up blew through a stop sign, and the impact was next level.

The victims? Jennifer's dad, Gary Neville, who was 65, and her three littles: Daniel (9), Harrison (Harry) (5), and Milagros (Milly) (2). Her kids' grandma and great-grandma were also in the car and got seriously messed up. It was a whole tragedy, no cap.

Muzzo was trippin', like three times over the legal limit. He pled guilty to all the charges – four counts of impaired driving causing death and two counts of causing bodily harm. He got 10 years in the slammer back in 2016 but was paroled in 2021. His sentence officially ended in July 2025. But for Jennifer, the L is forever.

And the pain doesn't even stop there. Jennifer's husband, Edward, took his own life in June 2022. Then, in June 2024, their house caught fire, and the urns with her kids' ashes got destroyed. Life has been throwing hands with her nonstop.

Jennifer's been reflecting on all this, talking about how the loss has shaped her, her identity, and her independence. She's got a support system, like paid caregivers and a squad of friends who hold her down. She's also trying to create a legacy with "Many Hands, Doing Good," which is a volunteer group for arts programs for kids with trauma.

She also spoke about the struggle of dealing with the legal system as a victim. Dealing with the parole process and the whole idea that Muzzo's sentence ends but her pain doesn't... it's a lot to process, for real. She's a strong queen for speaking out and keeping it 100 after all this.
