IN MEMORY OF
SHERRILL “SHAUN” NIELSEN
1942 – 2010
Associated Press: Famous Southern Gospel Singer and Elvis Presley’s favorite singer, Sherrill
“Shaun” Nielsen, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, December 10, 2010. His
devoted wife, Brenda Shelton-Nielsen was at his side. Preceding him in death was Sherrill and
Brenda’s precious daughter, SherRee’ Elicia, who was killed by a drunk driver on her 20th
birthday.
Little did the world know what to expect when Sherrill was born. God gave him one of the
most amazing tenor voices today. Sherrill travelled and performed over a 50 year span with
groups like: Jake Hess and the Imperials, Hovie Lister and the Statesmen, the Masters V, the
Songfellows, the Plainsmen, the Marksmen, TomPaul and the Glaser Brothers. He formed a
group call “VOICE” that opened all of the Elvis Presley Shows and then became a backup artist
to Elvis, doing all those beautiful duets with Elvis. Sherrill lived in his grandfathers great
country of Denmark for 14 years until he moved to Houston, Texas and remarried the love of
his life, Brenda. Since 2005, Sherrill and Brenda have travelled all over the world singing
together.
Make sure you order one of the priceless CD’s that will preserve the sound of Sherrill for many
years to come.
The Nielsen family wants to thank each of you for your support, love and kindness during this
very difficult time.
