Timothy Jon Nelson Sr.

Debi and Family, Tim was (and is) a unique man who always wore his heart on his sleeve. I will always be inspired by the energetic attitude he exuded when serving others and the compassion he felt for his fellow man. The world is missing one of it's friendliest smiles.

Debi, I am so sorry for your loss, Tim was a great man and a joy to work with and will be greatly missed. Loretta Ruiz

Tim was one of my favorite people to work with. I am saddened by his passing and you have my sincere condolences.

It was a real pleasure to know and work with Tim, who inspired many including myself, to aim to live a meaningful life. My condolences to the Nelson family.

It hurts to think Tim is not here to talk with and be with. It is not fair or right. But he is in our thoughts every day and beloved memories. Tim will continue to love you and think of you and so will we.

We are so sorry for the loss of Tim. He will be missed greatly by "all" that knew him. Our memories of Tim and his wonderful family will be with us forever. Those are the precious gifts that no one can ever take away. We are better people for having known Tim. And as each day arises we will... in his words, "live your life, love your life". Thank you Tim for inspiring us to be better human beings.

Dee, I am so sorry for you loss, May God comfort you through this difficult time. You are in my prayers

Rest in peace Tim Nelson. I did some of my finest editing working on your projects. I appreciated your sense of quality, creativity, and humor. I appreciated you as a friend. You will be sorely missed. God Bless! I'm so sorry Debbie. I felt privileged to work with Tim. Learned a lot from him. He always talked glowingly about you. He is a great person and will always be with us.

We will forever think of him with great admiration and long to laugh with him again. Our sincerest condolences to you all. We are sure your hearts are broken. xoxoxoxo

Tim's passing really caught me by surpise. I didn't know he was sick. I didn't know Tim that well, having just worked on a couple of videos with him. But he did leave a big, postive mark in this world.

Debi, a celebration of Tim's life is in order. How blessed you and the kids were to have him for such a prominent part of yours. A gentle and loving spirit, Tim spread joy and laughter as major components of our own extended family. Peace. With much love, Jane and George.

Tim is a fantastic soul, a rare talent. His good words uplifted me more than once. Love to the family...

I didn't have the good fortune to formally meet this extraordinary man, Tim, though know of him through his beloved sister, Wendy. His unconditional love for family, pure devotion to children and unstoppable courage to 'keep going despite all odds' will forever give all of us strength and support to LIVE and LOVE LIFE! Thank you for the eternal gifts you generously gave us, Tim! Sending my fondest and heartfelt love and ALOHA from Hawaii to Tim and his wonderful family! Aloha au ia oe, Marsha Cabbab

Debi and Family, we are so sorry for your loss and to lose a great neighbor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Debi and family. Please accept my deepest condolensces. I am forever grateful to you and Tim for the attention, patience, and wonderful treatment you offered my parents, when you were neighbors. My mother was constantly speaking of you, Tim, and TJ. You are wonderful people, and I have greatly enjoyed many of Tim's works. My thoughts and wishes are with you.

Dear Deb, TJ, Kathyrn & Annie, My heartfelt sympathy goes to each of you during this time of transition. Tim was a very dear colleague, friend and brother to me thru out the years. He brought a contagious passion to everything he touched and met all situations with an open mind, heart and soul in life. I will forever be thankful for having know him. Over the last remaining years of his life he continually humbled me by his extreme courage and strength to take on his condition and tackle it head on. I witnessed the true meaning of single minded passion. And to his credit, I am forever changed. Thank you for always graciously sharing Tim with the rest of us! Love, Francine

I met Tim at the Reel Recovery retreat May 2009. He was an inspiration to all of us at that retreat because of his kind words and gift of communications with other men who are battling cancer. He will be missed and I offer my condolences to the Nelson family. Curt Grinaker

How blessed we all are to know Tim and his remarkable family. His love and light shines on.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was fortuante to briefly meet Tim when he kindly agreed to travel to the East Coast to speak at the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable meeting this past November.

His is a story to motivate all of us to continue to work hard, do better work, and stay the course. quite moving, to put it mildly What an inspiration! Very moving. Powerful. Brings home the reason why we are here. Thank you for sharing. Very moving! Great speaker – heartfelt Exceptional, engaging, empowering and refreshing Wonderful! Thank you for having Tim speak to us Inspirational, moving – makes it all worthwhile Most inspirational speaker, by far. It was a privilege to hear him speak.

I was fortunate to be in the audience when Tim spoke last November at the NCCRT Annual Meeting about his journey and his commitment to prevention. His loss will be felt by all. Our condolences to Tim's family. Dale Mintz Executive Director Colon Cancer Challenge Foundation

Tim's passion and strength were tremendously inspirationational to us as we began our colon cancer advocacy work back in 2006. His "can do" attitude was consistently on display, even in the face of trying circumstances. He was an amazing artist and human being, and will be missed.

Debi and children, Floyd, Dee, Greg, Judy. Barbara, Bob, Wendy and Amy, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Tim's passing. I can not imagine losing a son, brother, husband or father. My heart is aching for you. Please accept my deepest condolences and may God bless you.

Debi and family... I am deeply sorry to hear of Tim's passing. I am grateful I had a chance to see Tim when I was in Salt Lake in early May. He had remarkable drive, incredible resiliency, a wonderful smile and was truly a great guy. I will miss him. His determination and attitude continues to offer inspiration as I reflect on his life and accomplishments. I am blessed to have known him and honored to call him friend. May God bless Tim on his journey homeward and bring to you and your family comfort and peace.

What a privilege and pleasure it was to work with Tim in some of his wonderful creative endeavors. He will be sorely missed. I was out of town when he died and am just reading his beautiful and fitting obituary. You & your children were fortunate to have him in your lives. We all are better people by having known Tim.

Tim and I went to high school together at Wasatch Academy. I had not seen him in years until I flew out last summer to see him with another Wasatch friend. Tim bought an expensive bottle of champagne, I bought the chocolate. We sat on the deck overlooking the mountains and talked as though not a moment had passed since our heart-to-heart talks at age 17. What a joy it was to know that friends of the soul remain the deepest and best of friends, no matter how much time has passed. It was wonderful to meet Debi and the girls, then, too. I will carry with me Tim's love of life, his courage and passion. To all of Tim's family, I send my love and blessings.

Tim changed my life in profound ways. From helping me get my first job out of high school to teaching me to try to live life fully every day his influence is there. I will miss him. To Debi, Anni, Kathryn, Tim Jr., and all of Tim's family, my heart goes out to you.

I met Tim through Laurence Lau over eight years ago. Tim was kind enough to read one of my screenplays and give me wonderful feedback. We finally had the chance to meet, in person, when I visited SLC about five years ago. He was as delightful in person as he had been on our emails. He spoke proudly of his family and his love for his work. Even though he was ill when we met, he took the time to give me valuable feedback on my writing. His generosity was inspiring. My sincere condolences to the Nelson family. Karen Sorenson Bartelt
