Andrew Louis Nelson

Andy has been a fixture here since I started working at The Kenney 7 years ago. I have so many fond memories of both him and Doris and their involvement with the staff and other residents here. They were both incredibly kind and I was honored to get to know Andy and his family more in recent years. From The Kenney, our love and prayers go out to his family - your appreciation for us is the reason we all show up to work every day, and folks like Andy make it easy.

To the family of Andy and Doris Nelson,
My mother and father, Virginia and Eilert Prestegaard considered both Doris and Andy fine people and wonderful friends. They spent many good times together, including travel to Norway and Greece years ago.
Eilert passed away 3 years ago but my mother, Virginia, wanted very much to attend Andy's service -she unfortunately, missed it.
I wanted to mention on her behalf our condolences to your family and how happy we were to see Andy on several occasions in the past few months at the Kenney.
Sincerely,
Anna Prestegaard Bryant

I will always remember Andy with sincere fondness.

I consider him a mentor in my life and he will be missed.

This story began with Andy's mother and my grandmother being best friends in high school. Andy and my mother grew up together and this friendship remained through the years with both families. My mother was widowed when I was almost 3yrs old. Andy and his parents were very supportive to my mother, brother and me when we moved to Seattle. He taught me how to ski when I was 4yrs and my brother was 2yrs. He took us on picnics and hikes. He was my father for the father daughter banquets. He was there for all our important milestones, birthdays, recitals, graduations, weddings and more.

I will always treasure the memories I have of him. He was such an important part of my life growing up. He was so kind, supportive, generous with his time. He was always there for us. He will be deeply missed.
