God will keep you He will never leave YOU.

Hopefully they get a basketball game together and play a game in his memory.

It sounds like Duane got Prince out of a lot of fights and being bullied in high school, must've been funny seeing the two of them together in the school halls because of the height difference, and prob. helped Prince become a pretty good basketball player by challenging him to beat him at it.

This is so sad. Didn't his stepfather just pass in December? My prayers go out to Prince and his family. I wish them peace, comfort and grace.

Wishing D. Nelson's spirit a peaceful journey.

I was informed by a family member of Prince, that Prince's brother and former employee, Duane Nelson, was found dead in his apartment today. I don't know the details but thay wanted to inform the org about this tragic loss. People please keep the Nelson family in your prayers, I know I will and God Bless...

My heart aches....I pray 4 your peace.

All of this negativity..is it really necessary...why NOW, why EVER? How does a death stir up so much gossip and strife? Where's the Prince.org po-po when you need them? Geeeeee.

Prince, I am very sorry for you and the family loss

Very sorry to hear this sad news. My condolences to Prince and his entire family.

So very sorry. My condolences to the Nelson family.

All Glory & Honor 2 God - We Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of the kind words, emails, etc. of condolences. My brother Duane has gone to be with God-He is in a better place. Please respect our Family's privacy at this time of mourning ~ Tyka

This is so terrible. I was just thinking about Duane. For some strange reason I was wondering if Prince would ever bring his family together for a family reunion dinner. I'm so sorry for their loss and will keep his family in my prayers.

So very sorry to Prince and his whole family on the loss of their brother.
My brother was 55 when he passed away suddenly....

Its so very sad for some one to die before at least 70.

I hope Prince, Tyka and their family can take peace in knowing he is in a better place now and

is happy in his home above..
