Jackson “Jack” E. Nelson

Jack went to his heavenly home on Thursday, July 7, 2022, in Hammond, Louisiana at the age of 87.  He retired as a Heavy Machinery Operator in the Local 406 of Operating Engineers.  Jack was always keeping himself busy even after he retired, truck driving, hauling logs, or trying his luck at the casino.  His true passion was showing off his beautiful cars at the car shows with his friends.  Jack was truly loved by his family and friends and is already deeply missed.  

He is survived by his daughters, Ernestine Kay Folse (Randy), Linda Nelson Chesnutt (Bill), Joyce Ann Scanlon (Brett), Karen Fay Hemphill, Deborah Nelson Chesnutt (Chris), Susan Nelson Chesnutt (Joe), Cynthia Ann Husser; 14 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great-grandchildren; siblings, Katherine Oliveaux (Jim), Rosie Newsom, Clifford Lee Nelson (Kim); as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Preceding Jack in death are his wives, Shirley Mae Parks and Flora McLendon; brother, Floyd Nelson; and a grandson, Harry William Chesnutt Jr.
