The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

John Dennis Nelson died on August 15, 2021, in Longview at the age of 70. John was born in Longview, on November 30, 1950. He graduated from Kelso High School and went on to Lower Community College to earn a degree in auto painting. He then married his wife, Sandra, and moved to a farm on Puget Island where they would raise their two daughters.

John worked at Cascade Pole and Piling, Reynolds Aluminum, and Elochoman Millwork, but his real love was farming. He was also an avid hunter, fisherman, and gardener and could fix just about anything.

John was preceded in death by his wife, Sandra Nelson, and was loving father to Destry Roper (Robert) and Sheena Sanders (Shane), and proud grandpa to Zoe, Greysen, Killian, Sterling and William.
