It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Samuel Nelson, who departed this life on March 4, 2025. Born on June 18, 1933, Samuel lived a rich, full life defined by his unwavering spirit and his devotion to his family and his causes.

Samuel was a man of deep resolve, best described as stoic and confident. He lived by the principle of doing what needs to be done despite personal feelings in the moment, a lesson he repeatedly shared with those he interacted with. His character was a bedrock for his family and his community.

He leaves behind his son, Doug Nelson, to whom he imparted his wisdom and strength. Doug will continue to cherish his father’s memory and uphold his legacy, carrying forward the invaluable lessons and teachings he received from him.

An avid game enthusiast, Samuel found joy in the intricate strategies of chess, a pastime that tested and highlighted his intellectual prowess. His adventurous spirit was evident in his recreational activities too. He was an avid hunter, a pursuit that brought him a profound respect for nature and the circle of life.

Samuel was also a staunch advocate for veteran awareness. He believed deeply in acknowledging and addressing the issues faced by veterans. His contributions to this cause have left a profound impact and will continue to inspire others to carry on the fight in his memory.

In Samuel, we have lost a man of great strength and wisdom, whose influence has left an indelible mark in our lives. His memory will continue to inspire and guide us as we remember him with love and respect. May his soul rest in peace.
