John Nelson

My dad was my role model, my biggest supporter, and my best friend. We shared so many laughs, deep conversations, and special moments together. Over the last few years, I watched him transform his health, overcome many obstacles, and push through some of life’s biggest struggles.

He came out stronger, happier, and more full of life than ever before,he truly cherished every day he was given.

While we were away on a family holiday, his life was tragically taken in an accident at sea. It’s a loss that has shaken my whole world and one I’m still struggling to put into words.

Many of you know me from Impact Carnoustie, where I work as a personal trainer. My work and community mean so much to me, and it’s hard to step away at a time like this — but my family and I are now facing the difficult task of arranging his funeral and covering the costs to give him the farewell he deserves.

I’ve set up a fundraiser to help us during this heartbreaking time. Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean the world to us. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this would be an incredible help.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love, kindness, and support you’ve shown me and my family.❤️
