Ronald Stuart Nelson

What a lovely human being he was. I was so lucky to have met him and to spend holidays with his parents when I was growing up (Ron’s mother was my great-grandmother’s sister). My condolences to his family.

"What an extraordinary life that this wonderful man had"
I have so many memories of Dr. Nelson.
I am blessed to have shared the last months of his life. His passion for science and nature was contagious. The first debate that we had was about his most recent research about the causes of extinction of large animals that inhabited the earth. Heaven has received a brilliant soul and has blessed legacy us all. I extend my prayer to his family and friends.

It’s hard to lose a friend we’ve had for over 40 years. Ron was a special person who we shared diverse interests with. He was one who would do anything for you if he could.
To John, Bruce, K-Ray, and all his granddaughters; we send our heartfelt sympathy. We will deeply miss his spirited conversations, his video calls and always positive attitude to mention just a few things.
Sincerely,
Tom and Jeannie Cole

Ron was a classmate of George's. He was a great friend. We extend our sympathy and prayers to his family. We knew his Sister-in-law, Geri Williams. We have lost contact with her and wondering where she is located now or if she is still alive.

What a wonderful, exciting, adventurous life. I have early memories of them visiting us. Always exciting. Lori Copelan, Jeannie Hansen's daughter.

Ron was cousin to my mother, Donna Hanson. I always looked forward to the annual Christmas card and letter that he sent each year. He had the wanderlust trait that is so evident in our family and lived it to the utmost. He obviously enjoyed his life and served a higher purpose as well. It is a great loss for your family and for us, the extended family as well. My condolences to all.

What an extraordinary life he had!! My mother, Jeanie, would regularly update me on his adventures while I was growing up.

I have soo many memories of Ron & Jan. My most vivid memory is when we first traveled to Africa. Ron provided us all with a lessons in astronomy with the beautiful sky as his background. He was a very caring friend.
My
Love to his beautiful family.
