Upon becoming an apprentice electrician in 2005, he moved to Ft Collins,

CO where he worked on numerous commercial construction projects until

moving back to Philip in 2012. Zane loved the great outdoors of Colorado

and took every advantage to snowboard, camp, hike, skateboard, and of

course, fish.

Zane was a friend to everyone, never speaking a bad word about anyone,

and possessed a knack of listening to others without judgment. He always

had a contagious smile on his face and his laugh was, and always will be,

unforgettable.

Grateful for having shared his life, Zane is survived by his mother, Diana

(Scott) Olivier, his father, Dennis Nelson, two brothers, Heath (Kim)

Kennedy and Dane (Amanda) Nelson, his sister, Heather (Nathan

Kjerstad) Nelson, four nieces, Kate and Grace Kennedy and Allie and

Natalie Kjerstad, maternal grandparents, Lavern and Dianne Terkildsen,

and his paternal grandmother, Frances Nelson.

He was preceded in death by his niece, Kaya Lynn Huling; a cousin

Tucker Smith; and his paternal grandfather, Jake Nelson.

Z ane George Nelson was born on January 11, 1985 to Dennis and

Diana (Terkildsen) Nelson in Rosebud, SD. He became the little

brother to Heath Kennedy and Heather Nelson, and later the

older brother of Dane Nelson, son of Dennis and Jana (Klug) Nelson.

Zane attended kindergarten in Philip, SD and graduated from Philip High

School in 2003. Zane was baptized into Christ at Concordia Lutheran

Church in Kadoka, and confirmed at First Lutheran Church in Philip. He

played football all four years of high school and was an outstanding wrestler,

placing at the State B wrestling tournament his freshman through senior

years. Zane loved everything about being

outdoors, though fishing was his greatest

passion. Everywhere he went, his fishing

pole could be found packed in the back

seat.

After graduation Zane attended

Mitchell Technical Institute studying

Electrical Construction and Maintenance.
