Nelson Stevenson
It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Nelson Stevenson, age 45 years, on February 2, 2022. Nelson was born on December 9, 1976 in Thunder Bay and grew up on Catherine Street. He attended Isabella Street School and Fort William Collegiate Institute where he made so many great long-lasting friendships. He loved skiing, travelling, hunting, fishing and spent many summers with family and friends at Graham Lake. Nelson was a builder, he spent countless hours restoring his Ford Bronco and working on construction projects until he found his calling as an Ironworker. He joined Local 759 and worked on various projects across Ontario and Canada including the new Nipigon cable stayed bridge. Nelson had a big heart and has left many of us with a project or renovation that we can be proud of and remember him by. Nelson is survived by his parents Gordon and Bonnie Stevenson, sister Carrie Vita and brother-in-law John Vita; nieces Noelle and Victoria Vita; Grandmother Lorraine Stevenson-Vincent; Great Aunt Tudy and Uncle Butch Stevenson; Aunts and Uncles Carol-Ann and Niels Madsen; Sandra and Bryson Hawkins; Clyde and Joanne Jacomb; Lyle and Ann Jacomb; Barb Jacomb and Marilyn Wiggins. Cousins Crystal Jacomb, John and Karla Madsen and families. As well as extended family, and friends. He was predeceased by his Son Michael at birth; Grandparents Alvin and Sophie Jacomb, Robert and Doreen Stevenson and Curtis Vincent. Aunt Judy Erickson, Uncles Lloyd Jacomb, Murray Jacomb. Cousin Tommy Jacomb and best “fur” friend “Willy”.
Nelson will be missed dearly. A Celebration of Nelson’s Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers we welcome a donation to TBRHSC Northern Cardiac Fund.
There’s a whisper on the night-wind, there’s a star agleam to guide us,
And the wild is calling, calling… let us go.
“GONE FISHING!”
Arrangements have been entrusted to Simpler Times Cremation Centre, 575 Central Avenue, Thunder Bay.
