Even though I didn't know him, I am so incredibly saddened reading through the posts from those of you that knew this wonderful man.

My heart goes out to you all that were touched by Nelson.

You and the Matias family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Very young age to pass, being 22 it doesn't seem old at all. I never knew him and I wish I had gotten to judging by the way all of his friends remember him. I hope he rests in peace among the heavens, and too his friends you have my deepest concern. Sorry to see anyone lose a friend.

Respectfully,
Will Sammut

I miss you, man.

Ouch! I am diabetic myself. Was it a heart attack, caused by the diabetes? It still saddens me to look back in here. I would have said the same things about him as I did, if he were still alive. He was a very rare type of person. One that we should all strive to be like.

Scott, I was speaking with someone yesterday and said this very thing to them, word for word.
And it really is so true...

As time goes on, I can only do one thing from here on out.

Remember him for who he was...and that was a joyful, happy, extremely caring guy.

As much as I miss seeing him, It relieves me to know that he's staring down on us right now with a big grin.

Planning the Chicago meet is going to be so awkward without Nelson as he was *THE* guy to go to......But we're going all out for him for 2k9,
And it's going to be something to remember forever.

I also wanted to Thank everyone for the nice comments you've left for him.

Tragic... My heart goes out... So young... Its truly heart breaking... When we think our life is so hard, and we have these huge problems and insurmountable troubles we forget to take life and enjoy it, we take life for granted... Then we read this, see this beautiful man who has passed so young, and left behind so many broken hearts, and we realize our troubles are so fleeting... Enjoy each day, live it to the fullest, love those around you, and let them know it...

My heart and prayers go out!

Amen, Jake.

Thank you for that.

I've put it off long enough.
I was away when this thread started. Sorry for the delay.
I know more than I want to about losing people close to you. The one thing I have learned is that you seem to know less each time you are presented with the situation. This one is no different.

Nelson was living the dream. He loved what he did, and people loved him for doing it. Meeting him In Chicago was like seeing an old friend.
I will never understand.
peace.
