Darrel Allen Nelson, 66, of Lacon & Minonk passed away on March 4, 2020 in Minonk. He was born on Sept. 8, 1953 in Marion, IL to the late Paul and Patricia (Moore) Nelson. Darrel and Christie Cline were married on December 31, 1999 in Lacon. He worked at Caterpillar for 12 years, and then Durre Brothers/O'Brien Steel for 24 years. He was a loving husband and father, who enjoyed his Cardinals, spending time with his family & friends, going to Brooklynn's games, golfing, fishing trips, and riding his Goldwing all over the entire country.

Brooklynn was his light and his life. We are sure that he would prefer memorials be made for her education fund. Darrel will be dearly missed by many.
