Daniel Albert Nelson

Daniel Albert Nelson 1947- 2025 Daniel Albert Nelson passed away peacefully on the evening of August 11th, 2025 surrounded by friends and family at the end of a truly remarkable life. The impacts of his life and the heartbreak of his departure echoed around the globe and throughout his vast network. He was a kind and sweet, beautiful soul whose zest for life was extraordinary. He was generous, compassionate, loving, sentimental, merciful and overwhelmingly kind. He embraced life to the extreme. He was a priceless friend, a loyal son and brother, a doting uncle and grand uncle and a true steward of Laramie and Wyoming. He stood up to intolerance and injustice and always believed in a better tomorrow. It is simply amazing how many lives one man can touch.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Hortense and Osea Charles Nelson.

Danny is survived by his brother, Osea Charles Nelson II (Emily Lou); nephew, Osea Christian Nelson (Kari); great nephew, Osea Daniel Nelson; and great niece, Hazel Nelson.

A memorial service will be held at St. Matthew's Cathedral on Saturday September 13th at 10am with a celebration of life reception and lunch immediately following at the Alice Hardie Stevens center at the Laramie Plains Museum. The brothers of Sigma Chi will be conducting their White Rose ceremony honoring Danny at 1:00 p.m. at the lunch reception as well. In lieu of flowers, Danny would love to have donations made to Laramie Animal Welfare Society (LAWS), The Laramie Plains Museum, Hospice of Laramie, or your favorite animal rescue organization.

A life so fully lived and a man so fully loved! We will miss you always Uncle Danny!
