So sorry for your loss. I worked with Nathan for a few years at The Guidance Center. He was always so kind and helpful. For a mother to lose her son and children to lose their father, it is so heart breaking. Praying for peace and comfort for his family. 

Nate, some of my favorite childhood memories of going to Aunt Mark's house involve you. You were quite the daredevil on the 4-wheeler and dirt bikes and you made the days spent together so much fun! I'm so thankful for you coming and visiting this summer and glad we got to meet your family. You left a mark that's for sure and you will be greatly missed.
Love,
Maranda

Nathan, who could have thought that when we met just over 25 years ago that we would have stayed in touch all these years.  You were almost 10 years old if I remember right.   You were so meticulous about your hair and clothes.  You had to have everything just right.   But let you just get your play clothes on and you were a wild man on the motorcycle and the 4-wheeler.   You boys would play so hard and get so dirty that somedays you and John got hosed off before you could come in.  There are so many memories that won’t fit in this space but you are looking down remembering with me.   We could talk for hours about anything you wanted to talk about.  If we lost touch, we always found each other.  I was deeply honored when you told me that you thought of me as your second mom.  You always ended a phone call with an I love you.    You always will be the son of my heart.  May you find peace and may Angels wrap wings of comfort around Jennifer, the kids, and all who love you.    I will miss you.    Love Mark   

Nathan I appreciate all the times you were there for the kids over the years and for loving them and for being there when they needed you. I know in my heart they loved you and always told me about the neighborhood basketball games and fun you guys had. You were also their Dad. Thank you and you will live on in their hearts! Rest Easy

Nathan, you will never know how much we all loved you. I have so many memories from when we were younger. I will never forget those times. I always looked at you like a brother. Rest easy, you will be greatly missed. 

You were my husband and my best friend!!! We shared lots of laughter and even some tears! I am blessed to have spent 12 years with you!!!! I am missing you terribly and will love you always!!!!

Nate and his mom...the First Lady in his life!!! Rose, he loved you dearly!!!!! 

Football and his lil dude....that was a great day!!

Thank you for giving me a beautiful son. Through him, your memory will live on. We love you and you will always be with us. 

I can't help but feel like a piece of the family is gone forever. We all loved you so much and the world will never quite be the same without you in it. I know you will always be with each and everyone of us. We will make sure your memory remains forever

Nathan, you were always just like one of my kids, & will always be a part of my family. My heart shattered into a million pieces. We all love you & will never forget you. 

I am so heartbroken. I will always remember you on this day, helping Caylob hunt Easter eggs. You will forever be in my memory and my heart. 

Such a great young man who touched many lives. I'm so glad to have been able to have shared Gods word with you.  I take comfort in knowing your in Gods arms. The world itself has lost a special man but your star will forever shine. Your bright smile will never fade in our hearts.  I hope you can feel all the love from all who's lives you touch.  Rest now dear boy and we'll see you soon.

Gone but never forgotten. You gave me the gift of my first true love and I gave you the gift of your first born son. Caylob and I love you and will always think of you.
