Nelson my dear friend I can´t believe you are gone . I miss our weekly phone calls Your what´s up greeting when you saw me your smile that would light up a room. Your advice and your sincere friendship. I know you´re in a better place but I wish you were still here with us. Thank you for always looking out for me and being a true friend. You broke a lot of ladies hearts when you were younger and you broke this man´s heart when you left this world. Rest in peace my friend till we meet again. I miss you!!! Love you my Brother!!!!

Nelson,
My heart broke when I heard of your passing! You were such a kind genuine soul who truly cared for others within your close circle. You were there for me in times when I was in need with no questions asked. Very fair and mild mannered. I wish we were able to keep in touch, but such as life, we're almost always shifted in different directions. Onto different paths. Rest In His Loving Arms, My Dear Friend. There will never be another you.

Nelson was a wonderful employee, but more than that, a friend. He put a smile on your face and had such a big heart. I'm grateful for the last conversation we had, because he knows how important he was to me. I know his legacy will live on because of how he treated everyone (customers and employees) with the McGrath group and in his personal life. I'm so thankful to have known him, to have worked alongside him, and to have mentored each other. I will always miss his cherry disposition, and especially his "I gotchew brotha, whatever you need". My thoughts and prayers to the entire Diaz family, and to all that knew him.
