Beloved son of Elizabeth DeWeese Neilson and the late Jack H. Neilson, Sr. Preceded in death by his sister Susan N. Plauche. Survived by his sisters Beth Neilson, Martha Neilson, Anne Neilson, Margaret N. Arbour and her husband Edgar F. Arbour III. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Born and raised in New Orleans, Jack was a graduate of St. Paul's School in Covington and the College of Santa Fe. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral services at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home Chapel, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. (in Metairie Cemetery) on Thursday, July 27, 2006, at 2:00 P.M. Visitation Thursday from 12 Noon until 2:00 P.M. Interment will follow in Metairie Cemetery. Jack was a talented musician/singer/ songwriter, attending Berklee College of Music before graduating from the College of Santa Fe, the Boston folk scene of the early seventies having impacted him greatly. He performed in New Orleans and many venues around the country. He opened his own coffee house in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he continued to write and perform his songs. By 1985, Jack's coffee, EJ's Coffee and Tea Company, was the premier acoustic venue in that area. It was there that he hosted many songwriter nights and became acquainted with many talented performers. For several years, he owned and operated a wholesale coffee business in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. He was selected by the Rotary international as the outstanding young entrepreneur of the year and was sent to Brazil for several weeks to inspect the coffee industry of that country. While he loved the coffee end of the business, his true calling was his music -- as it had been since he was a child. Jack considered himself honored to represent New Orleans on the recent Arlo Guthrie & Friends City of New Orleans benefit tour. He was so excited to spend time with the many musicians and writers on this tour and said it was an experience of a lifetime. Jack left us a beautiful collection of original songs on his CD entitled 'Here I Go Again'. The grace of his huge, loving heart poured itself into the grace of his music. This same grace was manifested in every facet of his short life: his love of laughter; his doting devotion to Sarah - the love of his life; his love and protectiveness of his precious mother Lib who has leaned on him and shared a little too much ice cream with him since Katrina brought through not only the destruction of New Orleans as we knew it but with it the untimely death of Susan, Jack's sister and Lib's brave daughter. Jack has remained at Lib's side all these months, ready and more than willing to comfort her, make her laugh - he's been a source of laughter and comfort to not only his mother but his 4 remaining loving older sisters and his many many generous friends who were so dearly loved and appreciated by Jack. He was always grateful for his blessings. We so love you my dearest 'baby Jack.' We are lost without you and hope to find a shred of your grace to carry us through. We have been robbed once again of a loving soul. There is now a humongous angel in heaven whose large wings are bumping into the other angels but they don't mind because he makes them laugh and he sings to them. The angels who are not busy singing are out looking for his keys.
