Kim, Aaron, Ben, Charlie and Rachel,

Today is the 1 year anniversary of John's passing. One year ago, you lost a great husband and father. We all lost an amazing friend.
We miss him and think of him every day.
We are honored to be a part of your lives and see John through all of you.

With Love,

To Kim, Aaron, Ben, and Charlie:
There were no possible words last year to say to you when John left this world-only memories, prayers, and hope in the promises God has made to us. He promises us eternal life with Him through faith in His son, Jesus Christ; therefore, we rejoice knowing that someday your complete family will be reunited. And what a reunion it will be!
Until then, we thank you for the opportunities this past year to live out our faith together as did that first Christian community in the book of Acts. We look forward to walking with you as one body of Christ this next year, whether that involves silent reflection or watching chaotic light saber fights between the boys (with Rachael soon to join, we're sure!).
From our family to yours: we love you and find comfort in God's Words: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Kim, Aaron, Ben, Charlie and Rachel,
It has been a year....and at this key time of remembrance and reflection, we want you all to know, you are a remarkable family! You have all grown in so many ways over the past year. John is proud of you...for all you have done, and all you will accomplish.
We miss him too, chats over the fence, climbing fourteeners, running the Bolder Boulder, last minute BBQ's on a warm summer night.
The truly wonderful thing is that we see in all of you kids bits and pieces of your Dad, and through you he still lives.

Kim, Aaron, Ben, Charlie, and Rachel,
Over this past year there has been so many times we have missed John. We were so lucky to have been his friends, and to have shared many times with you all as a family. Behren and I still talk about things we did with John, some of our favorites are the day we all spent in Breckinridge with all the kiddos on bikes (that was a work out just keeping up with them all!) The BBQs at your house, watching the tour de France on TV with John, and of course all the afternoons and evenings at the park (killing time untill bed time). We see so much of John in the boys faces and personalities. John was a great friend and father. We want you to know that we miss him too, and will always be here as your friends!
To Arron, Ben, Charlie, and Rachel, your daddy loved you so much! He loved to watch you learn new things, like riding bikes and scooters. Aaron your dad always said you were so smart and loved to read to you. Ben he loved to tell people how fast you were at running and riding your bike. Charlie your dad was always saying how you liked to figure out how things work, you were only three when he was telling you how to drive the car! Sweet Rachel, your daddy was head over heals for you, you were his little angle. There are so many stories to share and we would love to share them through the years. We love you all. The Roysters

Dearest Kim & family, I was sure I signed this book a year ago, but can't find it. I just wanted you to know that even though a year has gone by since John's death, he is not out of our minds, or our hearts. We think of him often and this time of year just brings him closer. Hope the memories you have and the people who love you all ,will help to make this holiday season a little better. All our love, Auntie Dena and Uncle Frank.

Dear Kim,
I stopped in to see Dr. Olson today (on a short visit to CO)and I cannot express the profound shock and sadness I have over hearing the news about John. My heart is so heavy for you and please know that I share your grief. I also did not know you guys had added a little girl to the family. God bless you as you raise these precious children. I will never forget your sweet family.

I remember seeing this happy dad with triplets playing at the park and having so much fun. They all had matching clothes on and this neat triple stroller carried the triplets around. It was such a precious sight to see. I will miss this. My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to you Kim. God Bless.

Kim, I am truly at a loss for words. My heart goes out to you and your children, especially during the holidays. I just recently lost my little girl, so I do know how difficult it is to lose someone so suddenly and unexpectedly. There are no easy answers. Take things one day at a time and know that I will be praying for you and your family. Sincerely, Molly Blevins- Publication Design

Kim, I'm so sorry for your loss. John was pretty much my favorite person in the whole bank. When we used to go out to lunch together, it took us an extra 1/2 hour to get anywhere because he was always bumping into friends along the way. He had friends everywhere. What a great man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. Love Jeff, Amy, Truman (2) and Tommy (6).

We wish you strength during this difficult time. We will miss John and the fun he created, whether on a ski slope or at a lake cabin, or playing cards with the guys at a kitchen table. I admired his causal, kind approach to having fun with others. Our hearts are with you and we'll share a hug with you the next time we are together.
Love, The Stanley Family

Kim,

I sit here and write this with a heavy heart as Renee and I have had some time to digest the unfortunate news about John's passing last weekend. It just seems that life is unfair at times. I sit back and reflect on our chance meeting at the PSL birthing class. We were all so excited and optimistic - and overwhelmed - at the prospect of having triplets. I remember the monthly Dad's Night Out - as we were golfing, bowling or just hanging out - John and I commiserated about raising our wonderful kids and reflected on how you and Renee worked harder than we ever had to. John always welcomed me with a smile on his face and had a contagious positive outlook on life. It is our prayer and hope that you, Aaron, Benjamin, Charlie and Rachel realize you are surrounded with family and friends who love you very much and who want to encourage you, lift you up and support you through these challenging times. We can celebrate a life lived well by John and know that he is enjoying eternal life with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May God's love and peace - which surpasses all understanding - be yours and your families through this grieving period and beyond.

We love you and are praying for each and every one of you,

Team Meyer 6,

John, Renee, Jack, Joshua, Sara and Savanna

Kim, I do not know what to say. There are no words to explain what has happened. My sympathies go out to you and your family. To lose a loved one at such a young age is heartbreaking. Stay close to family and lean on all you can and hug and kiss your children as they will need you more than ever right now. Again, God Bless and God Willing, things will get better in time.

Kim and family, what an amazing memorial service for John today. It truly captured the wonderful life he had. He did a lot of living during his short life and enjoyed every moment. I was lucky enough to have lunch with John the Thursday prior to his death. He talked about his family trip to Disney and was excited about his upcoming hunting trip. One of my favorite memories of John was during a snowmobile outing we went on last year to Vail Pass. He had a big smile on his face all day and loved being in the back country hanging out with friends. I will always think of John during future back county outings. He was a good man and I am proud to have known him.

Kim and family,
I am so very sorry to hear of John's death. I was just thinking of you the other day, and then I heard this news. My mom has your Christmas photo from last year on her refrigerator, so I get to see your beautiful family every time I am at her house. She gave me the news and was deeply saddened. You are blessed to have four children who will carry on the traits that your wonderful husband had. It is hard to understand, but God needed John with him and God knows that you will be ok. Take time to be sad, it's what you need to do right now. Your children need you and you need them. I wish that I was there to give you a hug. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

I grew up in the same neighborhood with John. His sister Amy and my sister Joan were good friends. I had gotten updates on John from our parents and my sister through the years and my heart goes out ro Johns' wife and children now. John was, and I am sure remained a kind and gentle soul with a deep affection for his family and friends.

Dear Nelson Family, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. When John and I worked together in Arden Hills, Minn he was always the ultimate gentleman, and always , always a leader. I specifically remember Johns broad smile,great enthusiasm,and constant willingness to take charge and help wherever he could. I also recall numerous discussions around our individual hunting trips and his love of the sport.
John was a wonderful person, and will be greatly missed.
We will keep both John and you in our thoughts and prayers.

Kim and family,
It is with greatest sympathy that I express this message to you. Our Bank was graced with John's presence for about 2 years. In those 2 years, John made a lasting impression on everyone that will last forever. I considered myself lucky to have been his analyst for one of those years. John always shared stories about you and the kids, and even shared details of how you two met. He would get so excited telling me about your trips and talked about the boys' famous "finger paint artwork." Every action and story proved how strong he loves you and the kids. Please remember that that love will never go away. I will truly miss John. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out.

Just last week, someone passed me while holiday shopping that made me stop to think of little Johnny Nelson playing the saxaphone in junior high. I said a prayer then and hoped that he was doing well.

I was shocked when I heard the news on Monday about his tragic death! I know he will be missed by many and I thank him for always sharing a big smile and a kind hello. May your family be blessed with fond memories of John and comforted by the strong arms of our Lord who is holding you now.

Kim When Scott called me on Saturday and told me the news I was absolutely in shock. In the years hunting with John there were two things that stand out in my mind. One was the love for his family and two his love for the outdoors. I wish I could be of more help to you and your kids. I hope with help of family and friends your kids will have the same passion as their dad.

Nelson Family,

It is with great sadness and sorrow to hear of your tragic loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting John's family, but I knew of his great love and adoration for his beautiful wife Kim, and the kids Aaron, Benjamin, Charlie and Rachel. I first had the pleasure of meeting John on an unforgetable annual ski week at Steamboat Springs. I was so happy to reconnect with John when he made his career move as VP of Wells Fargo in Broomfield. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this utmost difficult time.

December 11, 2007

Kim, I am still numb from the shock of hearing of John’s early departure from this world. Nothing on earth can ever prepare you for the loss you are feeling at this time. I will always carry with me his wonderful spirit and positive presence. John knew what was important in life, it was the people around him. He built lasting friendships, for us, he is unforgettable, the memories of his ever enduring smile and his legacy of kindness will remain with all of us forever.

There are no words adequate enough to tell you how deeply sorry I am that you have to endure this crushing loss. My heart goes out to you, Aaron, Ben, Charlie and Rachel and the rest of his family and friends. May we all find comfort and strength in John’s loving memories. I hope that the pain and emptiness will someday be replaced with warm and happy memories of John and the joy he brought to you and everyone who was lucky enough to know him.

God bless you all during this difficult time...know that John is with his Father, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

I am so very sorry to hear about John's death. I know John from High School. I remember John as a kind, gentle, soft spoken young man. I can't imagine what you are experiencing right now, I pray that you and your children will find the peace and comfort that you need during these hard times. I say the Serenity Prayer for help.....

With all my love and prayers to you and your family.

Dear Family and Friends,

While growing up with Kim’s little brother Chuck, John served as a great role model for us in making our transition from boys to young men. John showed us that becoming an adult did not mean that you had to become solemn, reserved and unadventurous. John was just fun to be around, he always had a smile and a handshake for you, and he was never without a good story to tell. John was a man of character and integrity. He had many great attributes, including his tremendous love for his family and friends. Although John’s sudden departure is nothing less than a tragedy, may you all find some comfort in knowing that the truly special things about John still remain here… in his wonderful children.

Kim,

It's been awhile since I saw John but only good memories comeback when I think of our times at SCSU and the "Open House".

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Nelson Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Even though I didn't know John, his darling wife touched my life, more than she knows. I wish for her and their beautiful children peace and beautiful memories.
