R.I.P : Mr Duane Nelson

This is so sad. Was he married? Did he have any children? Was he employed anywhere in the last 2 years? I ask these questions because I hope he didn't die lonely, poor and broken hearted.

RIP Duane

Stay strong Prince, our prayers and thoughts are with you

Prayers to family, friends and others who'll gonna miss him

wow, was just looking through old posts on here ywhich had both Prince's Mum and Dad's deaths in there..... R.I.P

RIP

My thouhgts are with the whole Nelson family

I wonder how close were they, Prince and Duane.....

was Duane some kind of security to Prince, or do I remember this wrong..?

Sad Duane had to leave this earth that early,

R.I.P.

RIP Duane....My thougts and prayers go out to Prince and the Nelson family. May he be in the arms of the angels..

Much Love, Barbara
