Arnold Nelson, our beloved father and grandfather, passed away at the Elk Valley Hospital on November 28th at the age of 85 years.

Arnold is survived by his children: Bruce (Dawne) Nelson, John Nelson, Brooke (Garth) Langner, Dan (Diana) Nelson, and Robin (Dan) Ewasuk, grandchildren Ryan, Laura, David, Nikki, Haley, Mathew, Maret, Devyn, Megan, Justin, Paige, and his great grandson Ben. He was predeceased by siblings Nels, John, and Alf, and his wife Betty on July 27, 2014.

Originally from Edmonton, Arnie (and Betty) retired to Baynes Lake where he lived a happy life for 25 years. He loved the area and greatly enjoyed the outdoor country life. Arnie had made his living as a licensed mechanic. He was a talented man, who was good with his hands and could build or fix almost anything. Always ready to lend a hand, Arnie was the Baynes Lake (volunteer) Fire Chief for several years. He volunteered often in the community, where he was well liked and made many good friends. Arnie was a loving husband and father. He was a warm, kind man who loved nothing more than to share a story and a laugh. Arnie will be dearly missed.
