Nelson Tyrone Herring, Sr. was born on January 31, 1975 at Archbold Hospital ni Thomasville, GA to Glorian Herring and the late Roosevelt Herring, Jr. He attended Brooks County High School in Quitman, GA. At an early age he joined First M.B. Church in Barwick, GA.

Nelson had several nicknames; "Pookie", "Chuckberry", and "Smooth". He was a hard worker. He loved working with cows and he loved dogs. He learned how to drive at an early age and was the best driver of his siblings. He was the kindest and humblest one of us all. He loved his family and traveled to visit the Lamons and Herring families in Florida often. Deric and Eric believed their brother-in- law, Allen, was scared of Pookie. He bought Pookie a George Foreman Grill, clothes, and money. He never bought them anything (Lol). They found out it was because Pookie was really his best brother-in-law.

He was preceded in death by his father, Roosevelt Herring, Jr.; brother, Roosevelt Herring, Ill and nephew, Eric Herring, Jr.

Nelson married Kisstina Herring of Moultrie, GA on March 17, 2005.
