Nelson. I love you and I feel so blessed that I was able to apologize to you and Ramwall, face to face, in February '17. I don't know what I'd do or how I'd ever forgive myself had I not been able to do that. Without even as much as a blink, you immediately forgave me...in all sincerity. You're the real deal aren't you? A true man. Chilvery was always alive and well while in your presence. I can't thank you enough. I know my sister adores/adored you. You are her love, life, partner, and soul mate.

Your funeral was so beautiful and I feel so blessed that I was able to be there, in person.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your life and happiness. You'll forever be thought of on a daily basis...and missed.

Until we meet again, I'll know I have yet one more Spirit Guide watching out for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Love forever and always.

Your Sister-In-Law, Elena Rains

Yolanda,

It is a time to find solace as we consider the path we all must tread. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Family has a special meaning and the good memories take priority as they should.

Keep the memories until the time of reuniting, it will come.

We love you and our prayers are with you.

Where do I begin to express how much my brother meant to me. Between him and my brother Dennis I was well protected growing up as the youngest of six. He would take me for rides on the back of his motorcycle, and he always kept me safe even though he drove too fast. He was the youngest boy and I am the youngest of the girls, so we shared a special bond.

It was great to see you so happy with your wonderful wife Yoli in May. We laughed and shared memories from our childhood. Yoli you are a very special person that made my brother extremely happy and I thank you for that.

Nelson you will be greatly missed but I will see you soon.

Love your baby sister, Nancy

My heart-felt condolences to all the McKee family for the loss of Nelson McKee. I knew Nelson most of my life, as well as all the other McKee clan, all of us becoming cousins when Aunt Roberta (Rex McKee Sr.'s sister) married my dad, Joe Knight in 1951.

I truly have fond memories of the times we visited together, growing up, the Knights and McKees, especially during the Holidays. Nelson was indeed always the most active and engaging of the McKee kids. He always seemed to have something in the fire later in life, looking for that pot of gold so many of us chased. Hopefully he found some along the way through the many people he shared his life with.

I know I speak on behalf of Terry and Peggy (Nelson's other cousins) too that your loss will be in our minds and prayers.

I remember Uncle Nelson was always willing to share a story about his many travels, and he was always welcoming to my brother John and I when we travel to California. I also remember some of the stories that Rex, Dennis and Nelson would share, and how each brother's version had very different versions. We in Minnesota send our deepest sympathies and condolences; may light perpetual shine upon him.

With Love,

Aaron, Yuriko, Kai, Hiro,

Rex, Linda,

Yolanda,

Thank you for loving my brother. I do know how you cared for him and how you were there until the end. I am so sad losing him, I do know though he is at peace, no longer hurting.

He will be missed but not ever forgotten.

Love you.

My heart goes out to you, Yolanda, and to all your family and friends at this time. I had the privilege of meeting Nelson at the restaurant and the hospital. I was very surprised at how fast his condition overtook him.

I know he loved you, Yolanda, and he loved his dogs. He loved producing exceptionally fine woodwork. His talents were exceptional.

Ruth and I will always remember our time spent together. Nelson was not shy and he never withheld how he felt about things. He always held you, Yolanda, in the highest praise. You took such good care of him and gave of yourself like a saint.

Thanks for sharing Nelson with us.
