Nelson Mayorga

Nelson Mayorga, age 26 of Tucson Arizona, passed on Monday, August 7th, 2023. Nelson was born on May 13th, 1997 to Nelson N. Mayorga and Isabel Mayorga, both of whom survive their son. Nelson was one of three siblings, and is survived by his older sister, Melissa Ortiz, and his younger sister Kassandra Mayorga. Nelson was a tío to his nephew Zach, his niece Jasmine, and his niece Victoria, all of whom survive their uncle.

Nelson was a bright spirit, someone who brought light into any room he entered, and who inspired others with his strength and skill. Professionally, Nelson was a welder with Everbrite, and took immense pride in his work. To Nelson, welding was a craft, and his talent shone in each project he completed, proud of his skill with aluminum especially and wore his trademark burns just as proudly. In his personal life, Nelson loved to be outdoors. He would camp, fish, and go shooting; not even the sky could contain his love for life. Indoors, he would unwind with video games.

Above anything else, Nelson adored his family, as much as they did him. He loved his parents, his sisters, his nieces and nephew with his whole heart. His absence is deeply felt and his loss is dearly mourned. Nelson’s memory will be cherished in the hearts of his family, friends, and all those who had the opportunity to know him.

A visitation for Nelson will be held Monday, August 14, 2023 from 4:00 PM to 11:59 PM at Funeraria del Angel South Lawn, 5401 South Park Ave, Tucson, AZ 85706. A graveside service will occur Tuesday, August 15, 2023 from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM at South Lawn Cemetery, 5401 South Park Ave, Tucson, AZ 85706.
