Mr. Nelms was born January 31, 1923 and passed away September 3, 2011. He served his country proudly in the United States Marine Corp and was also a Master Mason. Great-grandfather, grandfather, uncle, husband, father and friend-a man who answered to many names. He loved his wife, his family and his friends. Mr. Nelms taught his grandchildren the joy of fishing, and took them on motor home adventures across the nation through countless summers. He loved his garden, and grew the most amazing vegetables that any homemade stew could ever ask for. Drew was a man's man, a family man, a great man. A man to be remembered. Mr. Nelms was preceded in death by his wife Helen Nelms. He is survived by his son, Edwin Nelms and wife Judy; grandson, Mark Nelms; granddaughter, Kim Peterson and husband Greg; great-grandson, Jacob Peterson. Pallbearers will be Mike Hodge, Rodger Johnston, Mike Auttonberry, Terry Wayne Neal, Dennis Howard and Jerry Spillers. Honorary pallbearer will be Joe Magee.
