We regret to notify you of the demise of Reverend Dr. Gary Nelson, who had been battling liver disease for a considerable amount of time. It is with a sad heart that we provide this information to you. It is with a heavy heart that we have to break this news to you, but it is nonetheless necessary.
During this trying time, we are keeping others in our thoughts and prayers, including his wife Carla, as well as other members of their family and friends connected to them.
On a global basis, Gary was a leader who was well-known and respected by his peers. He was awarded for his contributions to the group in addition to his duties as President of Tyndale University and General Secretary of Canadian Baptist Ministries. He was also recognised for his contributions to the organisation.
Gary’s remarkable sense of humour and his compassionate friendship will be the things that we remember most about him. Certainly, he will be sorely missed. Not only were Paul and Carla active members of our church, but they were also a substantial source of strategic and vital advise. His contributions to our church were invaluable.
We will continue to keep Carla in our thoughts and prayers from this point forward, as his absence will be keenly felt by all of us. In the coming weeks, there will be a memorial service held in honour of the deceased individual, which will consist of a celebration of their life.
Immediately after the particulars have been finalised, they will be provided to the audience that is being targeted. Sharon Kettlewell was the photographer who took this picture, and it was taken during the final celebration of our 100th anniversary, as well as during Gary and Carla’s farewell service with us.
