Our daddy, son, brother, uncle, grandson, boyfriend, friend, and best friend, Nathanial Rees Nelson, left this world Thursday April 14, 2023, just 19 days before his 41st birthday. He lived most of his life in Santaquin, UT.

He was married to Amber Erickson January 21, 2013. They had three children, Rees Randle, Aurora Kay, and John Corbin Nelson. He loved his children with all his heart. He was loved by all who knew him. He enjoyed helping people and making people laugh, and he was always giving what he could to everyone around him. He liked to cook and often made his own interesting food creations. And he liked to eat, a LOT. He loved to be outside finding rocks, building fires, and playing in water. He enjoyed camping and doing things with his family.

He is survived by his children, Rees, Aurora, and John Nelson; his kids’ mother, Amber Erickson; mother, Janet Nelson; his dad, Kent Nelson; brothers, Matthew (Lei), Joshua, and Andrew Nelson; sisters, Shelly (Chris) Gravett, Jenifer (Steve) Erickson; nephews, Rylee, Rexdon, Maddex, Jack, and Deon; nieces, Joslyn, Jolee, Nalie, Zandi, and Leiwia; grandma, Alice Pitts; girlfriend, Stephanie Gull.
