Not sure what to say?

Very sorry to hear of Nate's passing. I played hockey with him at NAU and he was a great teammate and friend. He was a little crazy (in a good way) and made everyone smile. Emailed with him a few years ago about returning for a reunion game.

I am sad to hear of Nates passing. I have many fond memories of rowing around Lake Merwin in Nates dingy, and memories hanging out with everyone there. Death leaves a heart ache no one can fill, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Prayers for his family and close friends.

Dear Family,
My husband and I just heard of Nate's passing last night. We are very sorry for your loss. I met Nate at NAU. I was able to visit him years ago in Portland when there on business. He was such a fun-loving, great friend.
I have a few memories to share. I always blamed him for me receiving a C' in Economics. He and a friend would sit directly behind me to laugh (giggle) and distract me the entire class. He was obviously more fun than econ and the C' was worth the good laughs!...

Looked up to him and consider myself lucky to have known and worked with him for quite a few years. Condolences to all who love him.

I just learned about Nate's passing and I am deeply saddened and send my sincerest condolences to the family. We were neighbors growing up and great friends. My Mom, Jodie, cared for Julia and Hayden for years and I was blessed to be able to babysit regularly on the weekends. Julia was the first baby (of many) in our lives when we moved to Lake Oswego and my first babysitting job as a teenager and they wete even there to see me walk down the aisle after so many years. Julia, at just 3...

We were so saddened to hear of Nate's passing. My mom(Marlene) and brother(Mark) talk about the fun times that were had with him at the numerous performances. I remember him as one of the "cool kids" that I followed around like a little puppy dog. He was always so kind and caring. My mom was oh so proud of him in everything he did.
Love and prayers to the whole Waddle clan.

I was shocked and saddened by the news of your fathers passing. Truly a gentle sweet man who helped many. Rest In Peace my friend. Thank you for all you did for my family. I know many are mourning this sudden shock and loss of a dear man.

Nate took a chance on me and gave me a job. A job that helped shape the person I am today, forever thankful. I remember your encouraging words and your infectious laughter. "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."
