LOGAN â Several family members and friends of Teddy Nelson gathered on Midelburg Island near Logan High School Sunday afternoon to celebrate his life, one year after his untimely death from complications of the coronavirus.
Nelson was 25 years old when he died on April 11, 2020. He was Logan Countyâs first virus casualty and only the sixth or seventh statewide at the time, depending on conflicting reports.
Nelson battled the coronavirus for nearly two weeks, spending his final days in isolation on a ventilator at Logan Regional Medical Center. He made his last post on Facebook on March 28, 2020, in which he asked for prayers and said, âI just want to feel better.â
