Eric Nelson, born on May 3, 1965, in Fall River, Massachusetts, passed away on January 30, 2026. Residing in the same city he was born, Eric lived a life that was filled with simple joys and profound appreciation for the world around him.

Eric spent much of his life enjoying the simplicity of old western movies and cultivating an affection for animals. His love for western movies was not just about the action or the drama, but about the inherent values they portrayed. Eric lived by a personal code of kindness, compassion and understanding. His appreciation for animals was more than a casual interest; it was a deep-seated respect and love for all creatures.

Eric is survived by his son, Matthew Nelson, who was the source of his greatest pride and joy. Eric's legacy is one of quiet strength, unyielding love, and a life lived on his own terms. He was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes about his character and his love for those around him.

We invite everyone who knew Eric to post their memories and photos of him on his memorial page. In celebrating his life, we remember not only the man he was but the lives he touched and the love he shared. Share your stories and help us to keep his memory alive.

Services are humbly entrusted into the care of Southcoast Funeral Homes at Ferreira Chapel "Celebrating a Life Well Lived"
