The most amazing set designer ever!  Dependable and trustworthy!! I'm just finding out about this loss to the theater industry.  Much love and condolences to his family
I speak your name Nelson Smith III

Nelson Smith was a great man and I truly appreciate the amazing designs, creation of our news desk and of the work he did for my former broadcasting program at Millington Central High School.

I tried to call you today to see if you could help me in development of my new broadcasting program at East T-STEM Academy High School and that when found out that you had passed away.

You did so many amazing designs and creative arts in the Midsouth and you need to be honored for your gifts🙏🏽.

I am so glad I got to meet, know and work with you on my project and I will cherish all of the time we spent putting the work together.

Rest on my brother and know you were appreciated for the work you did to help your community in Memphis, Tennessee and abroad🙏🏽.

Marshonn S. Calvin, Sr.

Mr. Nelson was a wonderful gentleman who always projected joy and faith to those around him. I will miss his positive outlook and sharing his recent artistic creations.

I will miss Nelson's humor. He was always pleasant & very friendly. Condolences to his family.
