  • Obituary

    Bryon Ward Nelson passed away Sunday, July 27, 2008 of natural causes after breaking his hip in February. He was born September 10, 1923 in San Jose, CA to Julius Sigfried (Sid) and Agnes Nelson. Bryon graduated from high school and joined the army. He worked as a plane mechanic overseas in WWII and after being discharged was employed in the same profession with NASA at Moffitt Field in Mountain View, CA where he worked alongside his father. He married Barbara Schigal and later divorced. After retiring, Byron married Lois Birdwell whom he later divorced. They moved to Magalia, California where he enjoyed the fresh air and walks with his German Shepherds. He then moved to Gresham, OR and on to Grants Pass where he has resided for 12 years. Byron was an avid tennis player and golfer. When he went to tee off, he would simply state his name and was treated like royalty because they thought he was the golf pro of the same name. Byron loved the ocean and enjoyed traveling to Mexico. Byron was a generous friend to all who knew him. He was always good for a story and a laugh. Everyone will miss him. Byron is preceded in death by his parents and younger brother, Roland Dean Nelson. He is survived by his sister-in-law, two nieces, and dear friends he has met throughout his life whom he considered family. At Byron’s request, cremation has taken place and no services will be held. The obituary was published in the Grants Pass, Oregon newspaper at the time of his passing.
