Hey brother, just thinking about how much fun we had as young men. I´m forever grateful for the time we shared here, I think I never laughed so much as when we would hang out and get into shenanigans, & just hanging out in general buddy . Miss that brother.

Everyday is a day to be thankful. I'm thankful for the memories of Nathan and believe he must be in the most exciting place imaginable, with the Lord and in Heaven! I can't help but smile Thinking of all the video games Nathan and Benjamin played together. They had such fun! I imagine he will have so many things to introduce about the Kingdom of God to his loved ones and share about, that it will take our breath away! We are praying for his whole family and all his friends that they be comforted everyday on this earth! ❤

I went to school with Nathan and he just crossed my mind tonight so I tried to find him on Facebook, and I couldn't. So I googled his name and found this. I'm terribly sorry for you loss. I can't believe this is how I found my friend. He was a great kid and an even better man. If someone could please contact me it would be greatly appreciated.

When a person has generated so much love and laughter in others; but also could be such a serious minded and compassionate human being, what a joy it will be to someday spend eternity with them, their smile, and their sweet way of making folks feel special. I know you and others like you, are helping to prepare a place for those coming Home.❤ We miss your "presence".

Hey Brother, I was just thinking of some of our times together. Man I sure do miss you. I know you're in a better place, but this place is greatly reduced with your absence. I remember how no matter what was going on in my life, you could always make me laugh, & realize that it was okay & thighs would workout. Love ya Brother.

So often, we as believers get so very excited that we shall someday see our Saviors face; and that is indeed the greatest blessing, but we can be comforted by the thought of the Great Cloud of Witnesses that also await us and I believe Nathan is praying for us among them---ang helping to get things "squared away" for the moment he gets to see those of whom he loves, and love him! No more tears in heaven. God sees all of them which are shed here on earth. And cares!

You were always there for me Nathan. I know you are with the Father, & it brings me peace. I will check on your lil bro next time I'm in AZ for you the Lord willing sooner than later.
