Kimberly Nelson passed away Thursday, March 31st, at the Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, due to complications in a long and brave battle against Leukemia.
Our beloved Kimberly is the Jewel of our hearts. She was born May 30th, 1991, to her parents, David and Julie Nelson, and her eagerly awaiting older siblings, Emily and Michael, of Logan, Utah.
Despite health conditions that may have held her back, Kim has always been full of life, energy, an unbeatable determination to accomplish whatever goal she set for herself, and an undying love for everyone in her life. Her positive attitude has always lifted those around her, and her desire to make others laugh, even at her own expense, never ended.
Kim has always been a tremendous example to those around her. She inspires others to strive to be better, and her desire in life has been to help them along the way. Her unshakable testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is undeniable to anyone who knows her. She doesn't just believe, her entire life has been proof of her belief. The shining light within her has made the world a brighter place.
Kimberly comes from an incredible family and legacy. Her parents, sister, and brother, Grandparents Keith E. deceased and Mary Beth Nelson, of Logan, Utah, and Joseph D. Deceased and Loleta Marie Tanner of Lyman, Wyoming, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Best Friends, and countless other loved ones' lives were brightened for having known Kim.

A viewing will be held Friday evening, the 8th of April, from 6:00 until 8:00, at the Nelson Funeral Home, 162 East 400 North, Logan, Utah.
