NELSON L MAY

Andrew Croteau, of Las Vegas, passed away Thursday, February 25, 2021.

Nelson L ‘Pappy’ May 84, of Las Vegas, passed away Feb. 22nd, 2021 of natural causes. He was born May 5, 1936, to the late Othor and Marjorie May of Wenatchee, WA, where a large portion of his family still lives. Nelson was a one-of-a-kind character. He had a generous spirit sprinkled with a dash of orneriness, some would say a large dash! More often than not you’d walk away from an interaction with him smiling. He was preceded in death by his wife, Akiko Morimoto May and his oldest son, 2D Lt. William May USAF. Nelson is survived by his son Bob May (Cheryl); his daughters Cathy May Gailey (Al) and Debbie May Mattimoe; grandchildren Brittany Stalnaker (Trey), Kenny Gailey, Taylor Clutter (Susan) and Trevor May. There will be a private graveside service for immediate family only on Thursday March 11th at Palm Mortuary, 7600 S Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV. For his family and friends far and wide, we hope to announce a stream of the service soon.

He was preceded in death by his second wife, Willie Fairfax (Newman). Survivors include a daughter from his first marriage, Jennifer Fairfax, a grandson, Nicholas Spicer, and a host of other relatives and friends.
