Jacob Nelson, 31, passed away on April 27th, 2025, due to liver disease and organ failure. He was a devoted father, husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, grandson, and friend whose kindness and strength touched the lives of many.
Jacob was the beloved son of Patti Nelson and grandson of Ann Shay. He was a devoted husband to Bayley Nelson and the proud father figure and provider for Anderson Nelson, whom he cherished above all.
Bowling was more than a hobby for Jacob-it was his passion. He approached every game with heart, enthusiasm, and a love for competition that brought him close to many. He was also a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, cheering on his team with unwavering loyalty and pride every season.
Jacob's laughter, loyalty, and generous spirit made him a constant source of support and joy to those around him. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
