Steven Nelson, or Starvos to his family, passed away Sunday, August 23, 2026. He was born on October 10, 1950 in Boston, Massachusetts. Steve was the type of guy that was noticed when he walked into the room. It could have been that his personality was larger than life, it could have been his Greek good-looks, or that he was 6’7” tall. He was a jokester. It was a guarantee that he was bringing a joke, a look, or a laugh into every situation, and somehow bubble were involved…Above all, Steve was a family man. He was a strong, affectionate husband, a father that was active with his children. As the family photographer, there is a glimpse at what he thought was special, and who he cherished. He enjoyed the beach (any beach) and enjoyed touring the lighthouses along the shores.

Steve is survived by his wife, Marcelle Brien; son, Thomas Nelson; daughter, Patricia Nelson; daughter, Karen Bergeron; daughter, Kimberly Hovey (husband, Billy Hovey); brother, Charlie Nelson (wife, Beverly Nelson); grandson, Charles Wright, III. (wife, Grace Wright); grandson, Daniel Wright (wife, Taylor Wright); granddaughter, Hope Demers; granddaughter, Victoria Dunham; granddaughter, Harleigh Hovey; great grandchildren, Alaiyah, Jayce, and baby Penelope; and other extended family and friends.
