Natalie Jean Marie Nelson and Kevin Lee Nelson of Fort St John, BC, are saddened to announce the passing of their eldest son, William Robert Lee Nelson, who left suddenly and too soon on December 13, 2014. Born in Halifax, NS on July 18, 1997, William leaves behind his beloved sister Christine Una Marie Nelson and little brother Cameron Michael James Nelson.

More often than not, William could be found with his nose in a book, listening to his favorite music or mastering the x-box. He was a connoisseur of good food, history and natural science. Always ready with an interesting story, amazing fact or quick witted joke, he will be greatly missed by those who love him.

William is survived by his fraternal grandparents, Charlotte and Darrell Nelson, as well as his uncles Peter, Jeff and Philip Nelson, along with their spouses and many cousins.
He also leaves behind his maternal grandparents, Kathryn and Steven Boyd as well as his aunt Melanie Boyd, his uncle Jonathan Boyd, his wife and son Kade.

The funeral arrangements are being handled by Hamre’s Funeral Home and there will be a private viewing for the family on Thursday, December 17, 2014, after which William will be cremated until his parents have an opportunity to take him home to NS. The funeral will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at 11412 100 Street on Friday, December 18, 1014 at 2pm. All those who knew and loved William are invited to attend. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to William’s Memorial at williamnelsonmemorial@outlook.com which will help relieve the financial burden on the family at this time.
