Farewell, Never Goodbye: Maxwell Barrington Nelson – Educator, Financial Planner, Author, Columnist, and Editor-at-Large of Black Maple Magazine Passes at 84
By Charmaine A. Nelson
My father’s name was Maxwell Errington Barrington Nelson. He dropped the Errington when he started his studies at Mico College because he thought the second middle name was too pretentious. Dad was born in a small village near Oracabessa, St. Mary in Jamaica on 18 June 1941. He passed on Christmas Day 2025 in Brockville, Ontario, Canada. My dad is survived by his wife Tekla Nelson, his ex-wife Barbara Elaine Nelson, his children, sons-in-law, grandchildren, and legions of friends.
