Michael F. Nelson, born December 13, 1950, grew up in a large Tacoma family. He served his country proudly in the US Navy as a Seaman First Class Radioman from 1969–1972. He lived his life serving others through his kindness and care, whether it be as a family member, neighbor or mechanic. He gave his heart and left an impact on all who knew him.
