Bryce James Nelson was born on July 29, 2005 in Watertown, the son of Bruce and Amy (Pearson) Nelson. He lived at home with his parents on the farm east of Clark. Bryce loved to watch movies, put together puzzles, take baths playing in the water, play hide & seek, having his Dad swing him in the laundry basket and going to greentown (Wal-Mart). Some of his best moments though were spent playing trucks, kicking the tires on all the equipment, and spending time with Dad in the tractor. Another favorite time was helping Dad make popcorn. He loved all of his blankets, especially the silky tags, and sleeping. One of his favorite cartoon characters was Bob the Builder. Grateful for having shared in his life are his parents Bruce and Amy, his baby sister, Leah all of Clark, maternal grandparents, James and Gayle Pearson, maternal great-grandfather, Roger Pearson and wife Estelle all of Sisseton, paternal grandparents, Donald and Norma Nelson of Clark, uncle, David Pearson and wife Jessica of Marquette, MI, aunts, Sheryl (Bakke) Strandberg and husband Al of Watertown and LaDonna Gannon and husband Bill of Aberdeen, cousins and a host of extended family and friends.
