Jackie Irvin Nelson

I never got to know Jackie very well as we worked different times, but he was always happy when I did see him. And besides handheld #7, there's another legacy that he left at Richmond Beach, that being the jacket hanging beside the freezer in the back room. I was told on the day that I was hired, that Jackie left it there in case anyone who had to go into the freezer needed it. It's still there and hopefully always will be. Thanks for everything Jackie, we won't be the same without you.

Dear Eleanor and Family,

My heart aches for you and yours. Jackie wore a smile and friendly whenever I saw him.
May he run through the sports fields in heaven, playing with family and friends.

Sending my love and a big hug,

Although life has a way leading people in different directions I feel fortunate to have grown up with Jackie and the Nelson family through Little League sports during our childhood . I can still picture (and hear) our parents cheering us on from the sidelines , as Jackie ran for another touchdown . What a family , each and everyone of them , there for each other and by extension the rest of us , with encouragement , grace , and respect . Rest in Peace brother Nelson 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Sorry to hear this. I played football with Jackie in little league. He was always a bright light to be around. Always had a big smile on his face. Also a very good athlete.

In loving memory of an outstanding person and "Alpha Brother." We will love you and miss you always.

Eleanor, I will see Jackie's smile forever. He was and will remain a treasure to all of us.
