Kevin Lee Nelson Obit

KEVIN LEE NELSON passed away peacefully on Sept. 14, 2026. Born Aug. 6, 1960, he was honest, kind, and a jack of all trades.  He spent most of his life looking out for everyone else before himself, always worrying about others while asking for almost nothing in return. If you asked him what he needed, he’d give you his favorite motto: "I don't ask for much out of life:  just a little beer money, just a little grocery money, and every now and then, just a little!"   Though never married, he carried a strong love for the women in his life—with a longtime friend becoming his soulmate to share the last four years at his side. He was preceded in death by his parents, Quadie and Lois; brother, Greg; and son, Daniel Lee.   His legacy will be carried on by his daughters, Robin (Stephen) and Lea as well as four grandchildren; brother, Michael (JJ) and sister, Julie (Brad); sister-in-law, Jeanne and a host of family and friends. In lieu of tears, he would ask you to crack open a cold one, tell a loved one you care, play chase with a dog, watch a western movie or drop a fishing line in his honor!  A celebration of his life will be held at a future date. Arrangements are with the Koop Funeral Home in Crosby. www.koopfuneral home.com
