"My sincere condolences to "Chuck's" family. I met him many years ago in Milwaukee (early 1990's). Our paths crossed and there were some turbulence along the way. We didnt leave on good terms and for years we didnt stay in touch. Then one day out of the blue he called ---his voice sounded familiar but I right away I couldnt place it. He said his name was "Seth" and after he hung up it came back to me. I knew he lived in the San Diego area because of the number he called me from----I was going through some old letters this week and ran across some that he had written and decided to look him up. When I saw this obituary notice ----to say I was shocked would be an understatement. I hope that he is at peace and that the compassion and mercy of the Lord is granted unto him. Though the time I knew him was a dark period in our lives---I sincerely hope and pray that he gave his life to Christ---Rest in peace "Chuck"---and I am sorry that it took finding this to have found you again."
In loving memory of
Ladell "Seth" Nelson

Ladell later moved to Chicago, IL where he was known for being a very sharp dresser. He graduated from Richard T. Crane High School in 1980 in Chicago, IL. He later moved to Milwaukee, WI and finally finding both a final home and many friends who helped to make up his very large very extended family.
Seth had a very illuminating personality that lit up every room he entered. He loved to have fun blasting his music, and going to the beach. Music was his life and that in turn made him the life of the party. Ladell Seth Nelson had the biggest heart and had no problem giving you the shirt off his back. Although he did not attend any one organized Church, he had a deep and abiding love for God and believed that Jesus was Son of God. He loved his kids, family, and friends! Being a very passionate person meant Seth always had a story to tell and an audience to listen.
Ladell departed this life on July 31, 2017. He was preceded in death by his father Herman Nelson and son Brandon Nelson.
