Nathan was a devoted husband for 26 years to Debbie Ross; beloved father to Alex (Alexia) Ross; cherished son to Joyce Ross and the late Melvin Ross; dearest brother to Adam (Shani) Ross; Jeffrey (Kellie) Ross; wonderful son-in-law to the late Doreen (Dave) Tress and the late Ralph (Camille) Koss; loving brother-in-law to Natalie Williams and Steven (Michele) Koss; he was also a beloved Uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Nathan will be remembered for his kind and loyal heart and for the genuine care he showed to everyone around him. He was deeply considerate of others, guided by a strong sense of justice and a warm sense of humor that brought comfort and laughter to those who knew him.
Nathan had a way of making people feel seen and valued, often greeting others with a bright smile that reflected his generous spirit. He was caring, always putting the needs of others before his own. He was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend- roles he embraced wholeheartedly.
A lover of music and a man of many interests, Nathan enjoyed a wide range of hobbies, but nothing meant more to him than his family. They were the center of his world and his greatest source of pride and joy.
Nathan also found fulfillment in his work as a custodian at the local elementary school, where he took immense pride in what he did and the environment he helped to create for students and staff each day.
He will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who have had the privilege of knowing him.
