William D Nelsch Esq. (Bill) died just after midnight on May 4th 2019 after a long battle with colon cancer and lung disease.  His daughter Laura and son Ryan were by his side and comforted him until he took his last breath.  Bill was born on August 30th 1949 in Elyria, OH to W. Russell and Harriet Pauline Nelsch (Garries) who preceded him in death.

Bill will forever remembered as an avid photographer who was always behind the camera to capture moments with friends and family alike.  He was also an attorney and influential member of the bankruptcy community here in Colorado. When he wasn’t shooting or practicing law, Bill could be found in the Ballroom dancing like no one was watching.

Bill is survived by his older brother Don Nelsch, sister in-law Karen Nelsch, nieces Cindy Oesterling and Kathleen Nelsch, daughter Laura Kissinger, son Ryan Nelsch, and grandchildren Jordan Nelsch, Carmen Nelsch, Mariah Nelsch, Kelli Nelsch, Sydney Kissinger, Kerri Nelsch, Ryland Nelsch, and Dalton Nelsch.  

Services and a celebration of life will be held at the Botanic Gardens per his last wishes on May 17th at 4pm.  We invite all those that wish to memorialize Bill to join us at that time as we say our final goodbyes. Any wishing to attend can access the Botanic Gardens at anytime during the day and walk the gardens as you please, the celebration of life event will start at 4pm in the Gates Hall.  Enter through the Visitors center and tell them you are there for Bill Nelsch’s memorial, there is no fee to enter. We invite everyone to wander the gardens with camera in hand, as that would be exactly what Bill would do.
