Affectionately known as "Nelly", he was greatly loved by his family and friends. Nelly had a million-dollar smile and was the life of any party. He stayed fresh from head to toe. He loved shopping for himself, but being able to spoil his daughter by giving her everything was what made him the happiest.
Some of his hobbies included: basketball, playing video games, making music, "wagering", traveling, and spending time with his family and friends.
In his younger years, he loved to play football. Nelly had leagues and schools fighting to have him on their team. He was a true beast on the field.
