My prayers are with Nate's Family and friends, I knew Nate from the WSU 6th ward for singles, He was such a great guy and still is. He was always friendly and kind with everyone, and never let a fast sunday go by without bearing his testimony of the gospel. May your family find peace and comfort in your time of sorrow.
