Nelson L ‘Pappy’ May 84, of Las Vegas, passed away Feb. 22nd, 2021 of natural causes. He was born May 5, 1936, to the late Othor and Marjorie May of Wenatchee, WA, where a large portion of his family still lives.
Nelson was a one-of-a-kind character. He had a generous spirit sprinkled with a dash of orneriness, some would say a large dash! More often than not you’d walk away from an interaction with him smiling.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Akiko Morimoto May and his oldest son, 2D Lt. William May USAF.
Nelson is survived by his son Bob May (Cheryl); his daughters Cathy May Gailey (Al) and Debbie May Mattimoe; grandchildren Brittany Stalnaker (Trey), Kenny Gailey, Taylor Clutter (Susan) and Trevor May.
There will be a private graveside service for immediate family only on Thursday March 11th at Palm Mortuary, 7600 S Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV.
