Thank you so much for doing this for all his fans Chris. You are so sweet that you cleaned it up as well. Nelson’s loss would have been so painful esp for his mom who lived on for another 23 yrs without him. Do you know if his brother Marco’s grave is there as well?
Mom is buried next to Nelson. Marco was cremated so I'm not sure where he is. I'm also unable to find Nelson's father. Its said that he's buried in the same cemetery. I'll definitely keep looking.
Yes I know he is dead ,but coming here after watching one of his videos and then seeing his grave,hit me like a brick! I can't explain why,to me he is still alive and immortal
Omg it’s so sad to see this!! All I can think about are all of Nelson’s videos where he is so vibrant and alive and then think of this, his grave, its very depressing. You’re wonderful for cleaning his grave though!
This was such a kind and caring thing to do... and something that Nelson would have done. I think the sun coming out may not have been such an accident: Nelson was always very good about saying “thank you.” ☺️❤️
Thank you for cleaning up his marker. Nelson was ahead of his time, not to mention he was also such a special person with a beautiful soul, taken from us way too soon...
Sir thank you so very much for going out of your way to remarkably clean Nelson's grave. I was always hoping for someone to do this. The marker looks so bear, this grave should have a Dozen red roses laid there every week. Much respect to you. God Bless 🙏
Thank you for doing this. You are a kind and thoughtful man. I am the only one in my large extended family who does this for our grand parents/great grand parents, but it needs to be done, so I do it. I wish I could have known Nelson, but I guess I kind of do through his vids. RIP, Nelson, and thank you again for cleaning his headstone.
Thank you so much for this. Nelson is so loved by the people who watch his videos, we come from all over the world, so it's not easy to show our respects to his grave. So many people from his videos have passed on or disappeared, so that era is really passing into forgotten history now... It's only Nelsons videos that are keeping those precious moments from disappearing all together. Thank you again!
Thank you so much....I think I have watched every video in the 5ninethavenueproject series but I hope not. This is an unexpected delight to see Nelson's grave. He is family I never met in person
I don’t comment on many TH-cam videos, but I’ll comment on this.. what a great way to honour his legacy. He seemed to have so many friends who he filmed but it took a complete stranger to visit and clean up his grave.. job very well done 👏
His first name is John powerful name they called me Ernie till I realized my name was Joel powerful name as well thanks John for all the epic 80s videos we can enjoy praise Yeshua forever
Did any of his family member still live ? And who is running his TH-cam channel 5ninthavenue? Just curious to know. I only knew him recent with videos of Sylvia Miles shoot .After completely watching this video ,his another video was pop - up in my Playlist, so I couldn't resist to watch all his videos, and it was sad to know he was passed a day after his last shoot.
Thank you for doing this. I grew up in the 80’s and Nelson’s videos bring such a sense of nostalgia. He really is a lovely human, and I wish I could have known him.
Hey Chris, next if u poor Bleach on the headstone it will clean it back to original color. Ty so much for cleaning, n taping it for all of Nelson's fan to c !! 😁💞💋
You're a hero! Thank you for cleaning Nelson's grave. It really hits you seeing his grave, that he's really dead. That the person we see so happy on the camera is gone. Again, thank you.
Thank you i appreciate you saying that. It took me a while to find the grave and i felt bad the condition it was in. Looked as if it hadn't been cleaned or even visted since he died back in 89.
That was really awesome of you to clean up Nelson's grave spot. You did a great job on it too. He has an awful lot of fans out there and we love him. I am sure his friends and family really appreciate what you did too. I am going to be in NYC in the fall and I have plans to visit 5 ninth Ave. while I'm there. Thank you again, for taking the time to do this!
I found this video completely by accident and im glad I did. I recently found Nelson's videos on TH-cam and just love to watch them as it brings me back to such a fun time in my life. I just wanted to let you know how wonderful of a cleaning you did to his marker. He would sure be proud to know that someone cared enough to do so. Well done 👍
I came upon Nelsons videos quite by accident. I've watched so many and enjoyed them for their cinematic innovation , history telling and his personality. He reminds me so much of my oldest son who is 32, very eccentric, intelligent and odd. I was so sad when I came upon his last video and found that he had died that very night unexpectedly of a heart attack. Here's the crazy thing; as I mentioned Nelson was so similar in all ways to my son Brandon, WHO WAS BORN JULY 4TH 1989!!! Yes, I do believe that my son may be the reincarnation of Nelson!!!
Sad to see that his countless "friends" that we knew from his videos have completely forgotten about Nelson... the condition of the grave is the best proof of that, but you gave him the attention and respect he deserved ...
Nelson was buried in SC majority of those friends (if they're still living) are based in NY, atl and ca and are approaching their 70s and 80s . The real problem is people getting scammed into paying tens of thousands of dollars to be buried then not having their plots maintained by the cemetery itself .
I happened to see one of his videos one day and thought that Nelson was a nice person. I think a lot of the people in his videos took advantage of his kindness. Rupaul and Dick from Atlanta were true friends to Nelson. Michael Mustof and Albert were such Asshole's to Nelson.
There’s a product called ‘wet and forget’ that would also work very well to clean his marker. I use it on my sidewalks and it makes them like new…also doesn’t harm plants or any other living things.
@@chrism.2711 Ryan is not Nelson’s nephew. Ryan is Marko D Sullivan ( Nelson’s brother) , wife Beverly Klyce nephew. Ryan is the son of Beverly’s sister (Dr. Danna Brissie). There is no blood relation between Nelson and Ryan.
Nelson still has living cousins & distant cousins on the Culvern ,Brewer and Sullivan side of the family. Nelson’s dad passed in -1976 Nelson’s mom passed -2012 Nelson’s brother passed- 2017 Marko (Nelson’s brother) did not have any children ( Nelson does not have a blood nephew) His cousin Jean Brewer ( who Nelson called Jeanie) and who was in the vlog named “ Nelson’s last visit to his hometown in S.C” she’s at the 3:07 mark just recently passed in 2021 (Rest in Peace). Jeanie had 3 children and one of them is named Ryan ( this would be Nelson’s second cousin) who Nelson mentions in that video too. Not to be confused with the guy named Ryan in N.Y. Jeanie’s half brother is Dr. John Brewer ( which makes him Nelson’s cousin as well) he is the Dr. who removed Nelson’s moles. Dr.Brewer passed in 2019. May all of them Rest In Peace.
Its the first time Nelson has been on camera in 30 years!
What a lovely thing you did.
I felt so bad when i first saw it.
@@chrism.2711 You fixed it. You made it better. Heroic and just right. Bravo

Was Nelson buried in South Carolina?
@@Tibbsj79 yes in his hometown Kershaw which is in South Carolina
Contact Tommy Baker funeral home in Kershaw sc he should know where Mark and Beverly are
Happy beloved 75th Birthday Nelson!! 3-15-2023
Your spirit is still very much alive. 🎥❤️
Yes I know he is dead ,but coming here after watching one of his videos and then seeing his grave,hit me like a brick! I can't explain why,to me he is still alive and immortal
Great work man!! My compliments. ❤️ He needs to be honored and remembered forever!!
Thank you so much for doing that!
This makes me so happy. Thank you for doing this. I’m sure the sun coming out after cleaning it was a sign from Nelson thanking you
Omg it’s so sad to see this!! All I can think about are all of Nelson’s videos where he is so vibrant and alive and then think of this, his grave, its very depressing. You’re wonderful for cleaning his grave though!

Thank you I really appreciate it. My next day off I'm going to try to make it back out there and take flowers this time
Definitely a sign from above
THANK you Chris!!
AMEN!!
I live in the area. Where exactly in the cemetery is he buried? I’d like to visit if people can do that.
A true Pisces. Always saw the good in people and looked past their flaws.
So true
Awesome thanks, nelson is happy for that gesture of kindness.
Very thoughtful, thank you
Thanks for doing this and for taking part in the group as well!
Happy birthday to a real one

Do you have Facebook?
@@chrism.2711
No, I don't have FB.
Nelson is probably the first person to blog heaven and they say he currently still recording 😊
Is that true?????
Fantastic!! I’m going to share this to the Nelson Sullivan page on Facebook too!!
Which Facebook page?? I’d like to see it!
This is wonderful
Thanks for cleaning it up.
Sir, thank you very very much! Warm regards from Brazil.
Nelson was a true Pisces i Did not know this until seeing his grave. What a Sweet soul unique True Pisces RIP
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us.
Thank you. I wish i was closer to take care of it more often. 130 miles isn't bad though.

Kershaw City Cemetery should do a better job of keeping people's graves decent. Thanks for stepping into the gap.
Good Job thank you. It's a shame none of Nelson's friends seem to visit the grave
In his friends' defense most of them are up in New York or the North. And it seems that he doesn't have much family down here
The man was revolutionary in the form of vlogging. A truly unique man.
His first name is John powerful name they called me Ernie till I realized my name was Joel powerful name as well thanks John for all the epic 80s videos we can enjoy praise Yeshua forever
Ps, My son Brandon is a film maker too. You can find some of his work here on YT. Brandon Blanks....
Love and kisses to you my friend.

Noooooo lol

oh so glad you did that.
I need to make another trip it's been too long

What a great thing you did, Chris. Thank you for this.
Thank you. I couldn't bear not to clean it up somewhat.
Oh my! Thats fantastic of you and it looks fantastic now!!!
I happened to see one of his videos one day and thought that Nelson was a nice person. I think a lot of the people in his videos took advantage of his kindness. Rupaul and Dick from Atlanta were true friends to Nelson. Michael Mustof and Albert were such Asshole's to Nelson.
Thanks!!!...Nelson deserve respect!!!Thanks
Gone but never forgotten. 🤍
Props for doing that even though you didn't have to😌👌🏽
Wow This was good thing that see are you keeping it clean still?
Yes sir!!
@@chrism.2711 that’s awesome that you are wow when will you updated a video on it
Thank you so much, you're a good man.
Thank you for posting this!
Thank you so much from all of us!

Looks like you started to dig him up !👍
I kinda cut the grass back a bit. I wasnt sure when id be back

Great thought. And thank you.
Is his grave in Lancaster?

thank you chris. he must have no family left possibly. it was a sign from Nelson saying thank you.
I'm friends with his nephew on FB but he's in New York. No known family in the South that I know of.
