NELSON
Timothy Ward Nelson, 76, of Peyton, Colorado, went
home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on
March 18, 2024, after a 5-year battle with Alzheimer’s.
Tim was born on March 22, 1947, to Melville and Glenna
Nelson, in Flint, Michigan. At the age of 9, his family
moved next door to the Wisner Family Dairy Farm in
Lowell, Michigan. He started working on the farm, where
he met his future wife, Lois Wisner. Tim and Lois married
on June 21, 1968. They went on to have 2 children,
Lori and Steve. After Tim graduated from Lowell High
School in 1965, he attended Oklahoma Panhandle
State University in Goodwell, Oklahoma. At 6’8”, he was
awarded a full-ride scholarship to play basketball for
the Aggies. He graduated, with a Bachelor of Science
in Business Administration with a teaching certificate,
in 1969. Tim enjoyed camping, hunting, traveling, and
spending time with his family and friends. He was
known by his kids and grandkids as a social butterfly,
as he would often strike-up a conversation with anyone,
anytime, and about anything. Tim’s relationship with
Jesus Christ was an important part of his everyday life.
He had a servant’s heart and was willing to help anyone.
After moving to Colorado, he was an active member
at Falcon Baptist Church. Even after his Alzheimer’s
diagnosis, in 2019, he continued to faithfully serve
by singing in the choir and helping with the AWANA
program. Tim was welcomed into his eternal home by hisHeavenly Father, Melville and Glenna Nelson (parents),
Jon and Cyndy Nelson (brother and sister-in-law),
Phil and Kay Nelson (brother and sister-in-law), and
Brian Morris (son-in-law). He is survived by his loving
wife of 55 years, Lois, Lori Morris (daughter), Steve
and Natalie Nelson
(son and daughter-
in-law), and his
grandchildren
Emilee Morris,
Mackenzie Nelson,
and Colton Nelson.
He will be greatly
missed by not only
his family, but his
friends, as well.
