Kurt Nelson passed away after a heroic battle with cancer at home on the evening of his favorite holiday, 4th of July. Kurt was born in Whatcom County and raised in Kent. Kurt met his wife, Pam, in 1986, married her in 1987, and settled in a life in Renton. Kurt was an electrician by trade, hot rod restorer and enthusiast by passion; he was licensed to race by the National Hot Rod Association.

Kurt was preceded in death by his parents, Billy T. and Marilyn Nelson. He is survived by his adoring wife, Pamela “Pammie” S. Nelson, his daughter, Cori Lynn Abbott (of Bremerton, WA), his brother and family, Ron and Laura Nelson and their two daughters, Erica and Sarah (of Renton, WA), and his youngest brother and family, Steve and Marci Nelson and their two daughters, Hannah and Kaitlyn (of Bonney Lake, WA) and his 1967 El Camino which will be cruising the roads of Washington and being displayed in his honor at car shows in King County.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Kurt’s honor to either The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or the American Cancer Society.
