With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Mervyn James Nelson (“Merv”) on Thursday, May 11, 2023. Beloved husband to Tijani; cherished father and father-in-law to Anthony and Casey, Christie, and Clayton, and doting grandfather to Cyrah, Milān, Simone, Evelyn, and Lewis. Merv’s memory lives on through his loved ones.
Merv was a brother and brother-in-law to Sheryl, and the late Bronwyn and John Evans. Merv will also be dearly missed by Joanna, Hemi, Ana and Fernalynn.
In accordance with Merv’s wishes, a private family service has been held. Condolences may be directed to Distinct Funerals at 69 Bond Street, Invercargill, or can be left on Merv's tribute page.
As we mourn Merv’s departure, we remember his warmth, wisdom, and enduring spirit. His legacy remains a beacon in our lives.
Rest in peace, Mervyn James Nelson. Your light continues to guide us.
