Reverend Nelson Keith Tennant, 50, of Mason, WV, was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, November 24, 2020 from COVID-19 in St. Mary's Medical Center.

He was born September 9, 1970, in Gallipolis, OH, a son of the late Burl Rex and Bessie Marie (Dillon) Tennant.

He was an associate minister with the Liberty Assembly of God Church, Mason, WV where he devoted his life to God. He enjoyed studying God's word, spending time with his church family and friends, and leading souls to Christ.

Nelson's personality and character was not for everyone, but those who knew him loved him for who he was. He was very unique and will never be replaceable.

In addition to his parents, Nelson was preceded in death by a brother-in-law, Dwayne T. Lawson of Gallipolis, OH.

Nelson is survived by one sister, Teresa Marie (Tennant) Lawson of Rio Grande, OH; three nephews, Reuben, Sheldon, and Taesean Lawson of Rio Grande, OH; a special cousin, Neil Tennant of New Haven, W.V.; and a special friend, Shannon Darst of Mason, W.V.

God's Garden

God looked around His garden.

And He found an empty place.

He then looked down upon this earth,

and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you and

Lifted you to rest.

God's Garden must be beautiful,

He only takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,

He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never

Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough,

And the hills were hard to climb.

So He closed your weary eyelids,

And whispered "Peace be thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn't go alone.

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.
