James Gordon Nelson Obituary

In loving memory of James Gordon Nelson (Waterloo, Ontario), born in Hamilton, Ontario, who departed this world on May 11, 2024. James Gordon leaves behind a legacy remembered by family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of James Gordon Nelson to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid James Gordon farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For James Gordon is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, James (Nora Nelson) and England; his wife Shirley; his children, Kathryn (Hugh) of Ottawa, Jim (Mary) of Erin and David (Jane) of Toronto; and his grandchildren, Jessie of Vancouver and Alexandra (Liam) of North Vancouver.

To honour Gordon, the family welcomes donations to the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (https://donate.cpaws.org).
