I sat here listening to the story of Stuart life and I cried, it really makes me sad. I was born in 64 so am a little older than him, I remembered the song and remember when I heard that he die, I felt it then and the song brought back sad memories. I thought he die in Canada only to hear it's the State I'm living in now he die. Thanks very much for the information
Wow !!! Very interesting, I nvr forget this young boy the day he win the completion.. I love is voice from then... I always will rmbr him, am totally a stranger, I felt so sad wen he died, can't believe it is this long.. my my
At the time of this incident about Stuart Nelson i was a 7 grade student at that time. I was tramatiised when my class mate heard and run to told me that Stuart's was dead i then asked her what is the cause and she said to me that she heard that he had drowned. I was feeling very sad although i did not know Struat in person. Listening to him I saw Nelson Stuart as excellent, brilliant, handsome, polite, and a well talented young boy who was full of potential and high hopes. The looks on Stuart's face the action of how he expresses him self could tell you that he was intellectual and was full of intelligence. The brightness of Stuart's face was telling the future he was to enjoyed but his life was cut short by untimely death. The lifeguard who was responsible should have hold accountable for the little boy's death and be sued by his parents. Stuart's death is caused from negligence of a racist. Struat you was too good to stay on so God needed you and take up to Heaven ❤❤❤may your soul rest in peace R.I.P my brother

Of Young Stewart Nelson Makes Me Very Very Sad 🙁🙁I Just Can Not Believe That Life Guard Just Stood There Because She Didn't Want To Put Her Mouth On A Blackie She Is Nothing But A Racist ****** BITCH _ That Goes To Show U"All That Brown Lives Dosen"t Matter I"m Not Going To Say Black Because We're Not My Shoes Bag & Hair Colour Is 'PERIOD' Little Stewart Was Going To Be A Star For Jamaican & Jamaican Trust Me.

Life has no color. Lifeguards should see no color. That girl was in the wrong profession. His light os still shining. No one can put it out. May happy memories bring comfort to the family. Very touching.
Met Stuart while I was in College at Bethlehem. He found himself on campus one lunch break.I questioned him about being away from school and encouraged him to go on back to school. He looked at me and said “It’s because you don’t know who I am” Curious I asked his name,he said “I am Stuart Nelson “ You know I didn’t believe so I said sing the song (We all knew and loved the song ‘Miss You’ We became fast friends. As fate would have it when I went on Teaching Practice at Bethlehem All Age he was in my class. On my last day he wrote me a note:”You are my best teacher and I love you “ He drew a heart on This I kept for years in an album. After TP Stuart would still visit me at my hostel even on a Saturday. My heart was broken at his death. He had such a winning personality 👏 Miss you😢
WOW. I remember when I heard he passed I was 13 it was such a sad time. I am smiling because it's just a few weeks ago I was singing the song I miss you. He would have been a great man in whatever field he would have ventured into. Miss you Stuart you will always be remembered ❤
I'm literally weak in my knees😢 my head keep rasing each time I hear this young man's voice😢😢😢 you would've have been one of the world's greatest I always think you were from the state never knew you were born in sweet sweet Jamaica may your precious little soul rest in haven
Stewart, one of jamaica's best son....sad story, today i learnt much, i heard this song at a young age and liked it so much, such an inocent voice didnt know he was born 1973 a year before i was born...seems like such a short time ago....thanks for bringing this to us...the song came to me after midnight so i thought i would look for it on RU-vid and found this information....may his soul rest in peace....he had to be blessed with a good heart to do such song.
Oh my God i cried hearing how he lost is life because of racisim. It could be my child she came here at 9 yrs old can't swim still can't swim mom í feel your pain after all these years. Sad😢God continue to give you strenght .Thanks bro for keeping is memory alive God bless you .
I cried bitterly tonight when I was watching this video. I had no idea where Stuart Nelson was from. His signature song got a hold of me when I attended the Agricultural School in St. ELIZABETH in 1983. Stuart is one of my favorite Artists. Excellent Job Sir. LONG LIVE STUART NELSON 😢😮. I MISS YOU.
Thank you for bringing Stuart's story to life 😢 Can't imagine how his family felt and feel. Heartbreaking. My mother told me a lot about Stuart when I was growing up in Jamaica and I never could find further information. What a sweet boy. It's so sad to see someone lifeless 😢
Only today I was talking about him.loved him so much. I was in SOUTH WALES and I heard his SONG playing like crazy, and this was years after he died. Memories lives on.
That was so sad, this brought tears to my eyes, gone too soon. Such a beautiful song. I never knew how he died, but God sees and knows everything 😢😢😢😢😢
His mother should file a lawsuit against the lifeguard or the company that hired her. That's racisim at the highest level . Why did she take the job if she is going to discriminate.
Thank you so much for telling Stuart Nelson life story. This is a tribute. I was heart broken when the news came to jamaica that in drown . I was a child then. We all love him. I alway remember him. Last week kool 97fm jamaica was playing I miss you. I am still said like is yesterday. Rip Stuart love you always

I love this little boy like cook food i love his voice he his agreat singer when i was in Jamaica 🇯🇲 i would go crazy for this song i am so glad i heard the detail about him it touched my heart i being to crying rip ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for producing this material. So many of our Jamaican artists are unknown . I loved this song growing up, and as usual, i didn't know who sang it. RiP Stuart.
Thankyou you for highlighting this tragic Story Sir... I remember vividly this young man journey.. Now and again I would talk about his talent to my kidz and families.. Stuart..WE ALL MISS YOU..
This so sad the way he left us! Beautiful song I remember this oh so much! Let us all keep the memories of Stuart Nelson alive and well through his song "I Miss You".
Mannnnn !!! I always asked about this kid,i vividly remember when he died i was a kid myself.That "I MISS YOU " song has played over and over again in my head.Thank you for the update,this little boy needs to be known, though he is no longer with us,i really miss him.May his little soul continues to RIP.
This is very sad. I believe he could have been saved if someone had given him first aid. The lifeguard refused to help but teachers have a duty of care. Out of 10 teachers, surely at least one of them should know what to do in a drowning crisis???? 😢They all watched him die. 😢Too painful to comprehend.
Thanks for sharing this story about Stuart really appreciate it. I loved that song but never know he wrote it to his mom. Very sad how he died but such is life .
I myself didn’t know that he wrote it for his “mom, oh the depth of his love for her at such a tender age. I can’t imagine how he would have showered her with his love 💕
Jamaican Chapter - I appreciate you sharing Stuart Nelson story, firstly Stuart has a lovely singing voice and this voice you warm to quite easily, what if: Stuart received the support and respect when he won the award and so called scholar ship, the life guard did not see Stuart life in danger or in need of emergency attention she saw colour Stuart would be with us today, R.I.E.P Prince
thank u so much for giving me this closer because i love this song n still could not find out the story behind his dead .for years i look high n low nothing .thank u sir thank u
I am so pleased to know he was a part of the choir, my he find rest in God. Thank you so much for doing this on my favourite Jamaican singer. God bless you sir.❤❤
I have been and will always be a fan of Stewart Nelson .it fills my heart with pain every time he is mentioned ..it's so sad that he had such a tragic end but God knows the reason for allowing this to happen. U can feel the pain coming from his mom as she talks about her son's demise, Miss Claire ur a strong woman continue to shine for ur master and savior. To the interviewer, thanks for bringing the memory of our beloved Stewart to life, such a beautiful soul .Good job .rest well Stewart . ..see you on the great resurrection morning.
I was living away from home at the time I was 8 years old . I would go to the fence every evening at 6 pm to listen to it on RJR on my neighbor's radio to cry because I miss my mother and siblings.. I still have teary-eyes listening to this day.
Interesting information. He was Jamaica's little sweetheart. We were all so sad when we heard. It would be good to know if his mother received royalty from his recording.
I was attending Bethlehem Teachers College at the time when he was discovered by Mr Mills. I was in second year when he tragically died in the states. He was attending Bethlehem All Age at the time which was a stone throw away from the College in Malvern. Thanks for providing the answer to many questions at the time.
I remember that song because i heard the song alot when my brother died. Each time I hear the song i cried. My brother died in September 1983. I missed my brother. So hearing the words, " i missed you," was really touching. This song is personal to me😊
It was a very sad time in Jamaica 🇯🇲 when he died I was still in school, he left us too soon Jamaicans who knew him as a child will always remember him and now this content let me remember all of my young friends who died before their 20th birthday RIP all of my young friends who died. 🇺🇸 🇯🇲.
THANK U SO MUCH SIR FOR THIS....ALL MY LIFE AM TRYING TO REMEMBER HIS NAME N THAT SONG OMG I WAS YOUNG AT THE TIME WHEN I HEARD THE SAD NEWS N HIS SONG....THANK U SO MUCH.RIP
Thus song has always been one of my favourite and I had no idea who the singer was never mind knowing he's from my own parish St Elizabeth. It's very tragic the circumstances under which he died. Such a talented soul gone too soon. I'm.sure he's winging with the angels. Continue to rest in peace stewy❤
Thank you for the story, I remembered when he sang that song and won but didn't know the story of the song, I heard that he died but didn't know that he died overseas 😢, his song is still played on Radio Jamaica 💔 and I still love the song, now that I know the story of his life, it makes me love his song even more because I loved it from he sang it ❤️ 😢. RIEP Stuart Nelson.
