Billy Nelson, beloved husband of Tanya Nelson (nee Johnson) of Calgary, AB, passed away on Sunday, March 22, 2020 at the age of 49 years.

Billy was born in Calgary, AB, on March 15, 1971. He graduated from Mount Royal College with a degree in Massage Therapy, and also graduated from Abes College. He worked for AESO Electrical as a Systems Analyst. Billy married Tanya on May 3, 2008 and they have enjoyed almost nineteen years together. Billy accomplished much through his life and was particularly proud of his family. Billy enjoyed golf, karaoke, camping, fishing, annual boys’ trips, and spending time going for walks with his wife Tanya and their dogs, Boog and Squatch. Billy’s most memorable vacation was when he spent just under a year in Australia when he was nineteen years old. He also enjoyed Jamaica where he got in touch with his soul through his love of Bob Marley. He will be most remembered for his loving, joyful, positive, larger than life personality. He brightened every room with his positive energy and sense of humor.
