Randy Kelly Nelson, 55, Rochester, died May 21, 2013, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born May 26, 1957, to John Nelson Sr. and Louise (Pease) Ford. He grew up in Racine where he graduated from Horlick High School. He then attended Gateway where he received his degree in criminology.
He married the love of his life, Luanne (Gilboy) in 1985. He joined the Racine County Sheriff’s office in 2011 after more than seven years as a police officer for the Town of Burlington Police Department. He truly loved his hunting and fishing trips, traveling on his Harley with Luanne, Brewer games with his family, and loved spending time with his girls “Sammy and Sophie.”
