Nathan Monge

Nathan was a Gift from God to the family and friends who remember the Love he brought into the world along with the life lessons he shared. Among them was the lesson to live an authentic life.

Nathan was authentic and didn't believe in pretending to present an image that was not true to how he was feeling, nor did he want to be around people if he felt he would bring other people down. This meant not saying things you didn’t feel. Not pretending to be happy, if you were not. Being true to yourself and honest with others.

Nathan had the perfect smile. His smile was genuine, real and you knew he was in a moment of true happiness when you saw it. He was caring, witty and smart. In Nathan’s time at college he overcame the challenge of non-traditional education to achieve a grade of A in all his classes.

In addition, Nathan was really good with any type of technology. As an example, he built a computer as a young child and was a natural with all things technology related.

Some of the things that Nathan loved included sneakers, colognes, music, animals, sharing time with family and friends and cooking for others. He collected sneakers as a young child and loved visits to the Nike store.

Nathan had a deep empathy for other people. He didn’t like seeing anyone mistreated. He was a giver. The type of person that would give you his clothing, food, money or whatever you needed. Nathan’s friends all say he had a huge heart and was a kind soul. Before his passing, Nathan mentioned wanting to volunteer to help the homeless.

Nathan didn’t want to enter a situation unless he could positively impact other people. Although Nathan struggled with mental health challenges, he never wanted his feelings to take anything away from a situation. For this reason, Nathan would rather not enter a situation, than do anything he felt was not making things better for other people. Notwithstanding his personal pain, Nathan still hoped for a better future. Some of the last words Nathan wrote were “Try To Make It."

Given the choice to choose Love or Fear, Nathan chose Love. An example of this would be Nathan traveling hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles every year of his life to see, visit and spend time with family members. In addition, he hiked the Inca Trail in Peru to the ancient city of Maccu Piccu. These decisions were not easy for Nathan due to his severe social anxiety and severe depression, but he chose the Love of being with Family members to overcome his Fears.

Even though Nathan’s time on Earth was far too short, he was still able to make those in his Life feel loved and showed us what it looks like to rest in peace in the Goodness of God.

Continue to keep Nathan’s memory alive by being a Shining Light to Others.

Remember the Light that Remains.
