Our sincere condolences to the entire family. Paul and I grew up together, and attended school together.I was fortunate to have spent a lot of my youth with Paul and his family at the Nelson farm, and still hold many fond memories. We lost touch somewhat after school was over, but fortunately reconnected when Paul moved to Alberta. Although we haven’t had the opportunity to see one another often, I always enjoyed our chats/texts to keep updated on Paul’s s successes and family, most recently talking about his trip in September and the 2022 harvest. Rest In Peace my friend.

Dear Kim and the Nelson Family, I was very shocked to read of Paul's passing. We had reconnected through Ironman's in which we had some great laughs and shared training ideas. I'm sorry for your loss, thinking of you during this very difficult time. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no can steal. Eileen Sheppard
Hi Doris, Please accept my sincere condolences for the great loss of your first born son Paul. I met him on few occasions but my favourite meeting with Paul was in Medicine Hat on my motorcycle trip to the Arctic Circle. I spent some time with Paul and there he shared his own desires for adventures and challenges. He most definitely loved running. He will be missed. May God give Paul eternal rest as he Rest In Peace.
Paul and I knew each other since highschool. We spent considerable time together in class, playing pranks, playing together in the CDCI West band, and flying down the roads of Centreton; Paul in his brown Ford truck, me in my blue VW bug . All who knew him will remember his warmth, dry humour, wit and spirited determination. His sudden passing has been a devastating shock, and my heart goes out to all his family. May he RIP.
We would like to extend to the Nelson family our sincere condolences at this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you and we pray that you may have the strength you need. Anne and Paul Burnham

Dear Mr. Roger Nelson Sr. and the Nelson family. I am shocked and saddened to hear of Paul's passing. I offer my sincere condolences. In recent years I would see Paul spring and fall bere in Ontario and he would tell me how the family was doing. My mother was one of Paul's teachers and I got to know Paul originally through her and Paul's father was my principal so our families were intertwined.
My condolences to Doris and the Nelson family. I hope memories of happy times together with Paul will bring you comfort in this time of grief.
We were shocked and saddened to learn of Paul's untimely passing and our thoughts and prayers are with all the Nelson family.
I am so very sad to hear of Paul’s passing. He certainly experienced some wonderful experiences in life but his life was way too short. I would like to pass along my most heartfelt condolences to all of Paul’s family.
Dear Kim and Family, Our sincere condolences on the passing of your husband Paul. Wishing you peace as you journey through this difficult time. Tom and Lena ??????
Roger and Betty ...Extending our deepest sympathy to you during this time. Thinking of you and your family.
So sorry for the loss for your brother thinking of you all
very sad to hear of Paul's sudden passing. He is a month older than I am and I hadn't seen him for many years but I always marvelled at his personal successes. my memories go way back to 4-H character building, showing at the RAWF with Bart and Paul and 3 rowdy Limo steers in 1977 and selling them in the Frazer Pavilion for better than 50 cents a lb. not big money but Big experience. Paul was always rich with life experience and DID eventually conquer the world. We had many classic teen adventures including the band trip to Pennsylvania in High school which was more than music and some sunrise field parties where there was misbehaviors. His drive and energy and warmth will be missed and my sympathies go out to those he held close.
My condolences to the Goheen family. Doris,you are in our thoughts and prayers.May God sustain you and the whole family as you grieve Paul.Praying for you all.????

Paul was an incredible man from Every continent to Ironman and ultraman he took on challenges with joy and carried a community with him. He loved his family, the farm and life. He's jokes and humour were so funny because they were so corny( and he would have list of corn jokes for that comment. He left way too soon yet he gave so much for more than a lifetime. Godspeed my fiend. Ally Ps I'll keep taking picture and living big adventures just like you loved My Condolences to all his family & friends
Thoughts and prayers to the entire Nelson family.
