He enjoyed driving his Ranger, the outdoors, and spending time with his family camping and fishing at Lake Sinclair.  His mother, Polly Beasley Nelms, precedes him in death.

His family includes his wife and love of his life, Jenny Strickland King; two daughters, Maddie Bridges and Lily Bridges, all of New Branch; his father, Andrew Nelms of Collins; fur baby, Bosley King; long-time brothers, Anthony Gibbs, Jon Pitts, James Faircloth, and Jeremy Harvey; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Nancy and Rickey Corbitt of New Branch; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
