Donald "Doc" Nash of Beaufort, MO passed into heaven on January 28, 2023 at the age of 80 years. Doc was born in Gladden, MO to Hattie Mae (Watson) Nash and Wilbur Nash. He spent much of his working life at the Amexlead Mines where he served as president of the union. He later worked for Dorothy Stumpe and put his God-given mechanical abilities to use maintaining rental properties. Doc was united in marriage to Theresa Sampson in Beaufort, MO in 1999 and he was a member of Evergreen Baptist Church in Leslie.  Doc loved spending with his family and friends. He had a passion for NASCAR racing and collected Dale Earnhardt memorabilia. He also enjoyed woodworking and could repair almost anything. It was later in his life that Doc was met with perhaps his most difficult challenge. With the endless support of family and friends, and through the counsel of Josh Keezer, Charles Weiss, Stephen Snodgrass, and Jonathan Potts, Doc eventually prevailed and his peace was ultimately restored.

Doc was preceded in death by his parents, Wilbur and Hattie Nash; five brothers: Roy Nash, Junior Nash, Fred Nash, Jerry Nash, and Kenny Nash; one sister, Betty Nash Gibbs; and one grandson, Joshua Camden.

He is survived by his wife, Theresa Nash of Beaufort; one daughter, Diane Nash Kelly and husband Darryll of Chatham, IL.; two sons: Glen Camden and wife Jessica of Austin, TX., and Billy Camden of Sullivan; one sister, Sue Ellsworth of Gerald; eight grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends.

A Memorial Service for Doc Nash will be held Friday, February 3, 2023 at 11:00 AM at Evergreen Baptist Church in Leslie, MO.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Midwest Innocence Project (themip.org).
