Hello. You don't know me but your son's obituary really got to me. He seemed to be a fine young man. I have a daughter who is your son's age and I couldn't imagine losing her. My heart goes out to you. God bless you. Brian

Great kid Always there for me in everything everywhere everyone loved him and he will always be in my heart

Big loss of a young man. Condolences and sympathy to his family.

We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our hearts and prayers. Love to all

I had the pleasure of getting to know and work with Nathan while he was a student at Oaktree Elementary. Our paths crossed again as he and my son spent several years playing travel and high school soccer together. Nate saved our soccer team and devoted family fans on many occasions and we are here to do the same now for his family. I will hold those memories in my heart and can only hope his family and friends do the same. May you find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

May God hold you in his arms during this most difficult time. We met you at Charlie’s “ring the bell” party two years ago. May his memory be eternal.

Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with your family. Just know we love you all so very much.

Melanie and Wally,
I have some wonderful memories of Nathan and the girls growing up. He was such a great young man. I can't begin to know your pain. Please know that we love you and please except our deepest sympathies.
