Robert Mayhew Nelson, age 20, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, August 10th, 2023.

Robert was a miracle baby born in Atkinson, Nebraska on August 5th, 2003 to his proud parent, Tracy Nadine Mathew. Robert was an active, inquisitive teenager who loved all things outdoors. Robert was a nature born fisherman. He could use any bait and catch any fish in any weather. Robert loved swimming, kayaking, flipping off high dives, cliff jumping, and trolling the skate park. Inside, Robert enjoyed gaming and hanging out with friends and family while eating his weight in peanut butter fudge. Robert had lots of future plans to travel, but his first car, rent his first apartment, and grow into the 6 foot 6 man that his body had already acquired.

Robert leave behind his mother Tracy Mayhew, his grandparents Linda and Terry Dowding, Robert and Patricia Mayhew, his Aunt and Uncle Travis and Denise Barcelona, his cousins whom he considered sister Kaycee, Destini, Katelyn, Rhiannon, Savannah, and his most adored and loved Isabel. Amongst his intermediate family Robert also had a very large extended family; maternal and paternal biological aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings. A far too large family to name each individually but he loved then all unconditionally.

The family will receive friends from 12 to 3 pm and the Funeral will be at 3, both on Saturday, August 10th, at the Seger Funeral Home in Atkinson, Nebraska.
