So very sorry to hear of Nathan's death. We only remember him as a very little boy at Holy Cross in Flushing. Was so surprised to see how old he is and that we've been gone from there so very long. We are sure he was a great young man. May God's strength be with you all during this very difficult time.
Thoughts and prayers

When we think of Nathan, we will always remember the adventures he had with our son and one of his best friends, Brian. We also will remember all of the smiles. I never saw Nathan in a bad mood. Always laughing and smiling. God bless his family and friends in this very difficult time.

I only met Nathan a few weeks ago when we were out in Frankenmuth with mutual friends. He told me that he was “old” when I asked him which year he graduated from high school. I confessed that I was “really old,” too, because I also graduated in 1995. We swapped IDs to prove that we were both born in 1977, and he teased me that I still had him beat by a few weeks. I never thought that on May 16, my birthday, I would learn that he had passed away.

Nathan was my first "boyfriend." He asked me to "go with him" when we were in fifth grade, and we used to spend hours on the phone. We continued to be friends all the way through high school, and I always thought he was a very nice, charming person to hang around.
Several years ago, I ran into Nathan at a mutual friends house. I was delighted to see what a confident, handsome man he'd grown up to be. It was also wonderful to see that he was still the charming, sweet person I...

Nathan was one of the "good guys", with a huge heart and a great sense of humor. Knowing him since third grade, there was not a sweeter more genuine person. My thoughts and my prayers are with the entire family. Though this is a difficult time, there is peace knowing Nathan is in the hands of God. God Bless!

My deepest sympathy to the entire family. I worked with Nathan when he was in West Branch and he was great to work with. A fun loving young man and always ready to help. He will be sadly missed by many. God Bless the Family

As a friend and co-worker of Nathans at Koegels, I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy to Nathan's family, though I knew him for such a short time, we did have time to discuss his faith and family. Which is a direct reflection of the kind of young man He was. We will miss him.
