Obituary of Bruce K Nelson

Bruce K Nelson went to heaven on Christmas Eve morning 2021 surrounded by family at home. Preceded in death by parents Ken and Rita Nelson. Survived by sisters Suzanne (Kirk) Mahr and Sharon Keith, nieces Christie (Brian) Rademacher and Emily Mahr, nephew Mitchell (Carli) Mahr, and great niece Jazmine Keith.  Bruce grew up in Coon Rapids, MN. He went to Blaine High School then moved from Coon Rapids to Giese, MN where he was partners with his Dad Kenneth Nelson in the Giese General Store. He ran the store with his dad for several years before moving to Minneapolis where he worked as a bartender. From there he moved to Milwaukee where he bartended and was the caretaker of a local hotel. He moved back up to Giese to care for his mother and Father where he spent the remainder of his years working at the Finlayson Muni bartending and selling pull tabs. He was always wanting to help others, a kind gentle soul with a knack for details. If it needed to be fixed, he could do and do it better than anyone else. He was a good friend, uncle, brother, son and will make the best angel we have ever had. We love you Bruce and will miss you until we meet again. We will be celebrating him on January 29th at 12 noon in Finlayson, MN at:
