(From White Funeral Home)Jimmy Joe Nelson Sr, 73 of Exeter, Missouri, was called to his heavenly home on Thursday, March 23, 2023 after sustaining injuries from a car accident.
He was born on July 10, 1949, in Wheaton, Missouri, to Vance and Esther (Senseney) Nelson.
He was united in marriage to MaryAnn (Younger) Nelson on July 25, 1970. To this union were born eight children.
Jim was a retired dairy farmer, a well known avid gardener in his community, and a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Cassville, Missouri.
He was survived by his wife MaryAnn, his six sons and two daughters.
Jimmy Nelson Jr. of Cassville, Missouri; Buck Nelson of Bowling Green, Missouri; Jonathan Nelson and his wife Misty of Purdy, Missouri; Brandon Nelson and his wife Amber of Grand Island, Nebraska; Timothy Nelson of Farmington, Missouri; Vallerie (Nelson) Steele and her husband Chad of Fairview, Missouri; Holly Nelson and her Fiancé Chaisson Betzler of Springfield, Missouri; and TyRell Nelson and his wife Elizabeth of Eagle Rock, Missouri.
He was blessed to have nineteen grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and three great-grandchildren due to be born this summer.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Vance and Esther Nelson, two brothers Vic and Bert Nelson, one grandson Dakota Nelson, his father-in-law, William Younger Sr. and his brother-in-law Leslie Younger.
As a kidney recipient himself, Jim wanted to honor that gift by being an organ donor. That wish was made possible and he was able to be an organ donor hero for others.
He chose to be cremated and have a private family service to be held in Maplewood Cemetery.
Arrangements are under the direction of White Funeral home and Crematory in Cassville, Missouri.
