Dear Friends & Family.

We are devastated by the unexpected passing of Rob Nelson, beloved husband of Stephanie, loving father of Chloe and Simone, and devoted friend to us all. He was an inspirational teacher, musician, artist, and poet, and perhaps the kindest, wittiest and most soulful person I've had the pleasure of knowing.

Rob shared his love and his talents with us in unforgettable ways. Thank you, Rob, for the laughter and joy that you brought to my family for the past 12 years. My heart is aching today, but there is also comfort in knowing that the village of friends that you created during your lifetime is committed to supporting Stephanie, Chloe and Simone now and forever. 

Please consider a donation of any amount as a contribution toward an education fund for the girls, ages 12 and 9. They currently attend The Country School in Madison and have many years of schooling ahead. Let's work together to ease the financial burden during what is such an emotionally trying time for this beautiful family.

We love you, Rob.
