John Russell Nelson

September 26, 1967 - July 20, 2019

John Russell Nelson was born in Saint Helens, Oregon Sept 26th,1967. He was 51 years of age. John passed on July 20th as the result of a motorcycle accident at the time he was still residing in Saint Helens. Having lived his whole life in Saint Helens, John was dearly loved for his sense of humor, love of art and music by this community. To know John was to love him. The Nelson’s are a longstanding family in the Saint Helens area. As a child, his Great Uncle Marvin Nelson and Great Aunt Emma owned the Columbia Feed and Seed, and he would go steal popcorn from Marvin. It was a game they loved to play. John will be deeply missed by his mother, Chris Deason, father, Ray (Pete) Nelson and his wife Holly, children, Jacob, Abby and Nick, siblings Eric Nelson and Alicia Hanrahan, and two stepchildren, Sean and TJ. A Celebration of Life will be held for John, sometime in mid-September. The date and time will be announced later.
