Rest in peace, my gentlest of family. I turned out to be a prodigious savant with parapsychological paranormal ability. I will always know you the best. In June 2014, I became the first in Science history to discover irrefutable scientific proof of the parapsychological paranormal and associated ability. A proposal is now before DARPA and the discovery is in patent pending attached to a physical device I invented for clinical research. The discovery is my personal medical information as well. I wasn't told by anyone you had transitioned, Nathan. I was "inspired" to look you up. I know you're in the other place, now. And I know why I was supposed to look you up. I already know how you passed, as well. Although, I didn't know it was you "they" were talking about until now. Poor Christina. She is so trapped in her IQ universe. Only I will ever know you as you truly were, Nathan. I wonder if I will hear from you.

I grew up with Nathan; I don't even know when we met. We hung out together almost daily - and he would tease me mercilessly. When he went to a different school in high school, we were able to keep in touch and as we moved through our college careers and on to life. He was a good man who had some hard issues to deal with. I will always miss him.

RIP Nathan. Jim and I have fond memories of growing up with you and Tina. Rest in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus.

Nathan was my best friend in high school and the best man at my wedding. Nathan was a kind, intelligent and thoughtful person. Nathan and I spent our teen years at Coronado High School playing in the band (he was a very good flute player), traveling with the football team, skiing in Ruidoso and Cloudcroft, raising cane, and just being high school teenagers. He was with me during important times in my life, the most memorable being when I told my father I was getting married. Nathan and our group of friends all went separate ways after high school. Nathan, who had the best grades of all of us, went on to graduate from UTEP with an degree in Engineering. Through the years, I saw him occasionally when I was home on leave. He visited my parents and siblings often. My parents considered him a part of the family and he was always welcome at our home and table. The last time I saw Nathan was a couple of years ago. We recounted old stories, and in a sad way, wondered where all the years had gone. I was heartbroken when I heard the news. I lost a great friend, we all lost a wonderful human being. Nathan, thank you for your patience, friendship and loyalty. You will be missed, I'll never forget you my friend. I know you are at peace. May God bless you and your family. Rest in peace.
