Gary Chandler NELSON

Dear Margie & Family, Ben and I just learned today (September, 15th) of the loss of Gary. Please know how very much we loved him and all of you. You and Gary were so precious to us during a very difficult time in our own lives. We will always praise the Lord for your faithfulness to HIM! I know that Gary is playing his beautiful sax in the throne room! We love you dear friends! We are so thankful for having known Gary and all of you. Praying for you, Ben & Connie Watson (Joshua & Jacob)

I'm so sorry for the Nelson family loss. I grew up at Southland Christian and have very fond memories of the wonderful talent of Gary.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mam,
Papa will continue to be a mentor, a roll model and friend. I love you with all my heart. Chris

I remember Gary from the 60's when he played with the Classics. I worked with some of the band members of that band, Bob McCaw, Richard Peck and Pete Stoner. I played with the Castaways, one of the many bands under the management of Cecil Jones and Lemco records. Although I never formerly worked with him, we did jam together a couple of times. He had a very kind spirit and great tallent on the sax, always had a smile on his face. I had heard of his relationship with GCC, I guess he'd been...

Margie and Family, Kenna and I are overwhelmed with sadness this evening as we have learned the news of Gary's passing. Gary was that person who was always lifting up others - what a joy he was to be around. Wishing you comfort and peace. Love, Lynda and Kenna

Dear Margie and family...We are so honored to have been a part of the Gardenside family with you and Gary. We will certainly miss his kind, gentle smile and his humble spirit. He was truly one of God's great servants. Our hearts break with you, yet we rejoice in knowing that he has received his great reward. We look forward to the day when we will see him again. We will continue to pray for your family. We love you!

Margie and all, Michelle and I were at the visitation...whew..
I am not sure how to put our feelings for you all.
Gary was a huge guy in my life as you know.
We love you and KNOW that Gary is FINE.

God Bless,
Dwight
