Nelson Simon Bellamy Jr.
Sunrise: June 26, 1979
Sunset: February 6, 2022
Nelson Simon Bellamy Jr., 42, of Los Angeles, California passed unexpectedly on Sunday, February 6, 2022. We are devastated by this loss and completely unprepared.
Born on Tuesday, June 26, 1979 to loving parents Nelson Simon Bellamy, Sr. and Ivy (Bellamy) Nickolas, Nelson Jr. immediately filled the lives of those around him with joy. As a child, he was a consistent participant in school musicals and plays, and an enthusiastic member of the Vallejo Junior High School marching band where he played trumpet and drums. While a student at Vallejo Senior High School, Nelson was a member of the Freshman, Junior Varsity and Varsity football teams. Nelson was also an incredible participant of the Vallejo Senior High School track team, and placed second in the state of California for cross country track (1996).
Nelson Jr. graduated from Vallejo Senior High School in 1997 and went on to pursue a degree in drama at San Francisco State University. After two years of matriculation, Nelson moved to Los Angeles to pursue a full time career in acting. Through that stage of self-discovery, Nelson tapped into his more creative and industrious side. He was able to envision a shoe-rack and obtain a patent from the United States office of Patents and Trademarks. He is also a published author and his book "Brainstorming for Life” is still available on Amazon.
Nelson Jr. was a loving uncle to Malik McKinley Jr., Maria "Katie” McKinley, Bailey Bellamy, Blake Bellamy, Bryce Bellamy and Bella Bellamy. Nelson Jr. was passionate about family, theater, the creative process, fishing and playing the lottery. He was a firm believer in his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His presence is sorely missed and his loss is deeply felt.
Nelson Jr. is predeceased by his paternal grandparents: Amos and Eva Mae Bellamy and maternal grandparents: Ira Combs Sr. and Hazel Cosper. He is survived by his father Nelson Bellamy Sr., his mother Ivy Nickolas (Sidney Nickolas), sisters Tabitha Bellamy-McKinley, Joanna Bellamy-Jordan (William), and brother Nicholas Bellamy (Raina). Also surviving Nelson Jr. are a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who loved him deeply.
Service is being held at the Revival Center in Vallejo, 11:00 a.m. on February 16, 2022.

Sports were DV's life. He loved to play football, basketball and baseball. He found his love for sports at a very young age. He started playing T-Ball for North Vallejo Little League at the age of four. Baseball was his heart. He spent many years playing and loving the game. He then went on and followed his passion for sports and played football for the Vallejo Jr. Jaguars at the age of five. Football caught his attention because his older cousins were playing but he grew to be a “natural”.
