Nelson was born August 7, 1964, in Duncan, OK, to Mr. Nelson Clark Dixon, Sr. and Letha Fern Parker. He departed this life November 29, 2025, at Healdton, OK.

Raised in the Healdton/Wilson area, Nelson attended Wilson schools, where he made lasting memories and friendships.

Upon graduating, Nelson embarked on a career in the oilfield, starting at a young age on drilling rigs. Throughout his 50-plus years in the industry, he developed a reputation as an extraordinary Derrick Hand, primarily working with esteemed companies such as Jones Drilling and Nabors Well Services Co. His expertise and unwavering work ethic ensured he was never short of opportunities in a demanding field. In addition to his professional achievements, Nelson cherished his personal life.

Together, they created a warm and welcoming home in Ardmore before later moving to Wilson, where they continued to build their lives together. Nelson was known for his kind heart and willingness to help those around him. He enjoyed playing the guitar and found immense joy in spending time with his family. The connections he made and the love he shared will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on all who knew him.
