Nathaniel Ethan Landis-Holden, 17, of Olathe, Kansas passed away on Thursday, March 30, 2023. He was born on January 25, 2006, in Merriam, Kansas to Lewis Wayne Holden Jr, Amber June Landis and big brother Damien Fraser.
“Nathan” as he was fondly known by his family and friends was a Junior at Mill Creek Campus and was studying for his Welding Certification at Olathe Advanced Technical Center (OATC).
Nathan, our sweet boy, wanted nothing more than to see people smile and be included. He entered this life with so much compassion for others and cared for people in the purest way, accepting them for who they are. He extended himself to those around him to make them smile and provide them with what he could to brighten their day.
Nathan loved the beach, vacations, swimming, video games, family game night, mini golf, and animals. He had a passion for history and was fascinated with Roman and Medieval Times. One ambition he had was to work and participate at the Renaissance Festival.
We’ll always treasure the brief time we had with you.
