Dear Liz, Jenny, Jon, Elspeth and Andrea,

My deepest sympathy as my heart breaks for all of you. My prayers are for you now. My memories of our times together  as a family with the young ones- especially the twins are  fondly recalled - the living life to the fullest enjoying each other and the closeness of the family. I pray that the love among you all will give you strength as you find your way through the darkness.  Always in our hearts, never really leaving us.   With love and light, Maria

Heartfelt condolences to Nate's wife and family and friends and all who loved him.  What a terrible loss of a wonderful human, much too young.

Liz, I am so very sorry to hear this.  Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to a wonderful family that I know is feeling this loss heavily. Nate was an amazing person. I grew up down the street from him, but was able to connect with him years later as young professionals in Washington, DC. I'll always remember Nate for his humor, his wit, his sense of fun, and his love of music. He was a special and unique human being, and he will be dearly missed.

Adding my prayers of consolation and deep love to the whole family, each and every one of you were touched so deeply by Nate's presence in your lives, and he will be lovingly missed and long remembered for the love he brought to so many.  May his memory forever be a blessing in the lives of all who knew and loved him, and may you find some measure of comfort from the outpouring of love and caring that surrounds you.

I am so sorry for your loss. 

I have been reminiscing how My brother Sam would call your house and say absolutely nothing, but your family always knew he was calling for John and Nate. Nate, and John, was a great childhood friend to my brother. Unfortunately, I could never tell the boys apart so they were always John Nate to me.

Again I am so sorry for your loss and pray for lots of good memories and comfort during this time.

Nate was an incredible person who touched my life in ways I can't even begin to express. He was not just amazing; he was a shining beacon of humor, thoughtfulness, and love that illuminated the lives of everyone he met.
Nate had a gift for humor that was unparalleled. His quick wit and infectious laugh could turn even the most mundane moments into unforgettable adventures. Whether it was a witty remark or a hilarious joke, he had a way of making me laugh until my sides hurt and tears streamed down my face.
But beyond his humor, Nate was an incredibly thoughtful and caring friend. He had a knack for knowing exactly what to say or do to lift someone's spirits or make their day a little brighter. Whether it was a simple gesture of kindness, a heartfelt note, or just being there to listen, he always went out of his way to show how much he cared.
I will miss Nate every day, not just for the laughter he brought into my life or the thoughtful gestures, the shoulder to lean on that warmed my heart, but for the person he was—kind, caring, and utterly irreplaceable. The world feels a little dimmer without his light, but I take solace in knowing that his spirit will live on in the memories we shared and the love he left behind.

Rest in peace, dear friend. Your laughter, your kindness, and your unwavering friendship will be cherished and remembered always. I love you.

I knew Nate from our days at Earlham. We were teammates on the men's soccer team. I quickly saw his passion for the game. He showed the same passion to his friends and his openness toward making more. 

I was fortunate enough to run into him a few times, through fellow friends and past teammates, after leaving Earlham. In hindsight, I'm more thankful for those moments now than I was then. Hold on to those moments and live them to the fullest. Give an extra hug, connect 1x1, bridge a gap, and be present.

Nate, you'll be dearly missed. I believe there is a part of ourselves we leave on the pitch that has a direct link to our past. I'll be looking for you out there, so come on down and run with me.

Such great friends with our son, Sam, back when - thnx - from/for such a wonderful family. Sincere condolences in love with thoughts & prayers ... from neighbors/friends. The Hoovers, W.Laf IN.

The interactions I had with Nate left a lasting impression of his kindness, generosity, sense of justice for the marginalized, willingness to create inclusive spaces to welcome the stranger and share his joy. This is a terrible loss for the world and he will be dearly missed and remembered by many. Rest in power, love and light.

This is how I will forever remember Nate O’Neil, grass stained and sweaty from giving it his all on the Earlham College soccer field with his brother Jon. Thank you for all those wonderful memories.  You will not be forgotten old friend.
