Jeffrey “MacGyver” T. Nelson, 66, of Campbellsport passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 1, 2022 at the Susan S.

Jeff proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1973 to 1980. On July 18, 1987, he married Bette J. Conaway in McCarty Park, West Allis.

Jeff was a devoted Husband, Father and Grandfather. He was also a man of many talents. If you had a question about computers, 3D printers or any other electronic he was your go-to guy. He was our MacGyver. He enjoyed learning about aviation, robotics and other technology. Jeff was the family’s IT man. In the past he worked for Marquette Electronics and was most recently a Senior Electronic Technician for Precision Metrology.

Family left to cherish his memory include his wife Bette, children Danielle Mader (Shawn) and Christopher Nelson, grandchildren Jake, Ryan, Olivia and Ben Mader, siblings Linda Gayhart, Kevin Nelson, Rob (Sue) Nelson, Eric (Marylu) Nelson and Kurt (April) Nelson.
