Nelson Wilmer III Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Nelson Wilmer III (Bedford, Virginia), born in Hopewell, New Jersey, who passed away on December 3, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Nelson Wilmer III to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Nelson farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Nelson is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He is survived by: his wife Venus Wilmer; his sons, Chris (Melissa Wilmer) and Steve (Sandy Wilmer); and his grandchildren, David, Savannah, Brielle, Daniel, Abigail and Olivia. He is also survived by numerous cousins and close friends.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, January 17th 2026 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Nelson's Home.
