MICHAEL NELSON Obituary
He was born August 17, 1956 in Anacortes, Washington to Ron and Bobbetta (McCarron) Nelson.
Michael was brought up by his mother who did a wonderful job. She taught him to be responsible, honest, kind, and big hearted and through all his life he was all of those and more! A great son, sibling, husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His caring for and about other people went above and beyond! Through it all, he kept his sense of humor and code of ethics. He provided well for his family and was a very hard worker, always dedicated to the job at hand. Michael loved his wife as much as any man could love his wife.
Michael grew up in the Burlington area and for the past 25 years has resided in Sedro-Woolley. He worked as a welder and for many years he worked as a production manager for Blue Diamond Manufacturing in Mount Vernon.
Michael was married to Billie Aldrich on March 20, 1975 in Seattle and they just celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary.
He enjoyed basking in the sun, fishing, driving his fast back mustang with the Kid Rock CD turned up!, watching Nascar, U.F.C. and N.F.L.
Michael is survived by his wife, Billie Nelson of the family home in Sedro-Woolley; 3 daughters, Michelle Busadre and her husband Davis of Sedro-Woolley, Chantelle Nelson of Kirkland, and Mollie Nelson and her husband Guyle Adkerson of Sedro-Woolley; 2 grandchildren, Issac Nelson and Samantha Busadre; his father, Ron Nelson of Eastern Washington and mother, Bobbetta Jinnett and her husband Ken of Mount Vernon; 3 brothers, Tom and David Nelson of Bellingham, Randy Nelson of Sedro-Woolley; and his sister, Fawn Nelson Felton Huff and her husband Jim of Sedro-Woolley; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 2:00PM at Lemley Chapel, Sedro-Woolley with Pastor Rick Miles of the Day Creek Chapel officiating. Cremation will follow the services.

Tom, Randy & Fawn - I too will remember Mike as a youngster in grade school getting into trouble with his best bud Darrell Sutton. Always up to something making everybody laugh. He was always fun to be around and a friend to everyone. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you and Mike's family.

My goodness, this is sad. Haven't seen Mike for 20 years and would not have recognized him. I will always remember him as a grade school boy with Darrell Sutton getting into mischief and as a good friend in the olden days! My prayers and blessings to his family. Genora(Olson)Powell

Dear Billie and family, even though we have not seen you for a few years, we still remember Mike and his hard-working ways. He was a good neighbor when we were at Danya Place. In fact most of the people who lived there at that time were fine. I have a few pics of Michelle playing with some of the other kids who were there. May God bless you and your family and may you be comforted by His Holy Spirit. Lovingly, John & Julie
