Gerald Nelson Obituary

In Loving Memory of Gerald Donald Nelson
Born in Cabri, Saskatchewan – October 18, 1936
Passed away in Swift Current Cypress Regional Hospital
At the age of 88 years and 7 months

With cherished memories, we celebrate the life of Gerald Donald Nelson, a devoted community member and spirited supporter of local sports. Gerald was a familiar and welcoming presence at the Cabri Ice Centre, where his enthusiasm for hockey was unwavering. From the youngest players to seasoned athletes, he cheered them all with heartfelt encouragement and true passion.

As the seasons changed, Gerald could be found enjoying spring and summer days at the Cabri Sports Field, following local baseball games with the same dedication and joy.

In honour of Gerald’s love for community sports, friends wishing to make a memorial donation may do so to the:
Cabri Ice Centre Association Inc. and Prairie Health Centre Auxiliary.

A private family gathering will be held at a later date to celebrate his life
