It is with shattered hearts that we, the family, announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our son, brother, grandson, nephew, great grandson, great nephew and friend. In his younger years, Nathan was an awesome athlete. He loved hockey and was a great goalie, winning a few tournaments. He was even interviewed by a news reporter after one great shut out. When he wasn't playing hockey, he found other passions. Bike riding, skateboarding, lacrosse, and basketball were a few of his favourites. He enjoyed going on many road trips to play in tournaments. In later years, Nathan became a connoisseur of clothing and shoes. He had an awesome shoe collection which he was very proud of and some pretty fashionable clothing which he wore with style and finesse. He also liked his bling, and had a few favourite pieces he would often be seen wearing. Nate had a great sense of humor and could easily make you laugh with his one liners. Nathan loved his family and he always let us know. Nathan was a free spirit. He lived life on his terms. Unfortunately, those terms were not ones to be reckoned with. As much as we all tried to help him stay on the straight and narrow, we lost in the end and so did he. Nathan is survived and held deep in their hearts by his mother Carla (Jeremy), his sister Amaya, his grandparents Rosanne and Larry Chlebovec, aunt and uncle Deanna and Andreas Makrides (Charlie and Georgia), great aunt and uncle Carol Bruni and Bob Edwards, great aunt and uncle Marilyn and Gordon Webster, great grandparents Fleurette and Bill Bruni, great aunt Michele Nojonen, many close cousins in British Columbia, grandfather Perry Tiboni, aunt Katherine Tiboni, great grandmother Gloria Tiboni, and many other family members. Nathan is predeceased by his father Grant Tiboni, great grandfather Albert Tiboni and great uncle Denis Nojonen. If you so desire, memorial donations can be made to Dew Drop Inn, Salvation Army or Shelter House. Although this has been said many, many times in the past year, Addiction is real and we have a crisis on the streets of Thunder Bay. Please treat addicts with dignity and compassion. They are someone's son/daughter, sister/brother, aunt/uncle. They have a family who love them and are trying their hardest to help them. The struggle is real. Please, show Compassion. Funeral arrangements are pending completion and will be published.
