One son with wife Kari Ahlstrom, Ozzie Matthew Nelson, born August 29,2014.
As soon as Matthew and Gunnar Nelson turned 18 their mother said that
they would either have to go to college or they would have to find
another place to live. The Nelsons packed up their pickup truck and
left to live with their father.
He and his brothers Gunnar Nelson, and Sam Nelson, and
his sister Tracy Nelson have always maintained that their
father's 1985 plane crash death was the result of a malfunctioning
heater and not of alleged drug use on the plane.
