I’m so sorry to hear what happened. I was one peers in class last semester, although we never even greeting each other with our names he was so sweet the very first thing he ever said to me was no you could use mine. His first impression show that he put others before himself and that shows a lot about a person during class we had to do our critiques and he made cutest book ever about a jellyfish and how it was finding his way to surface and we had to critique it, but it wasn’t nothing to...

Nate had such a sweet and genuine soul. He was a good friend of mine, and even though it had been a while since we last talked, I’ll never forget the laughs and jokes we shared. He was honestly one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. I’ll always cherish the countless hours we stayed up playing games and just talking. Nate was someone you could confide in no matter what—you always knew he would be there. Thank you, Nate, for everything. I’ll never forget you, and I’ll continue to keep your...

Nate was and is a positive influence in my life. Nate and I met through a random occurrence online. After that, our connection turned into late nights of laughter and friendship.
Nate and I shared similar interests, mostly games, film, and Star Wars. In our friendship, we helped each other through weird moments in our lives. I wish I could thank him for everything. Nate was always encouraging us to be better, optimistic, and appreciative. Encouraging us to be grateful and...

I met Nate during my freshman year at Purdue. We were in SCLA 101 together and our majors couldn’t have been any different, but luckily we were placed in the same project group. My close friend from home had tragically passed away earlier that semester and Nate was always someone that I could count on to get my mind off of it and make me laugh till my stomach hurt. From then on we were great friends. We kept in contact after that semester, but recently we hadn’t been. I regret not reaching...

I remember early high school, Nate and I were doing summer gym. We were going to play basketball, and Nate and I were jokingly talking big game about who could make more baskets. Suffice to say, we both didn’t make many. But instead what we gained from that would be a lasting friendship that I fondly remember when I think back to high school.
Today I got the news, and I fell apart. Such a kind person and charming personality. I’m just in a daze. I really just can’t accept it. I...

From a stranger to one of my best friends I'll never forget. Someone who you didn't talk to for months and pick up from where you left off. Hearing the news shook me to the core. I can not express enough my deep sadness for the family losing such a great person as Nate.
Many nights spent gaming and just having a laugh doing funny silly things as we all do. From making videos to playing guitar or just talking to one another about our lives.
Being all the way from...
