ARK NELSON Mark Nelson was born in Fairmont, MN on July 16, 1950, and passed away Sunday, May 9, 2021. His family moved to California when he was a baby and then moved to Seattle when he was 7 years old. In 1978 he went to work for the phone company and retired in April 2003 after 25 years and moved to Las Vegas.
He married his high school sweetheart Wendy Stowe on March 17, 1973 and spent 48 wonderful years together. Mark enjoyed playing golf, board games and had a great love of music. He and Wendy enjoyed travel and especially cruising the Caribbean. One of their traveling highlights was their trip to Scotland which is where Mark's family emigrated from. He had a quick, subtle sense of humor and always got the joke. Mark is preceded in death by his parents Robert Nelson and Christina Torgerson. He is survived by his loving wife Wendy, brother Scott Nelson and sister Virginia Turner.
Mark will be loved and missed by family and friends. May he rest in peace. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital 501 St. Jude PL Memphis, TN 38105.
