Nathan Daniel "Nate" Yates

you truly are my best friend you gave me so much confidence that i never knew i had, i would make stupid jokes and sometimes you would only get them, and that was fine by me. i never thought i could laugh as much as i did with you, you will always be in my heart, not a day goes by where i dont think of you. i try my best to carry on like i know you would want me too but its kinda hard filling your shoes. i know someday i will see you again and i look to that day andy you better be waiting...

I miss you so much. Thanks for loving me for those three memorable, fun-filled years (even though we lived on concrete floors for 1/2 of that time).
I will always love you and will hold you close to my heart- forever.

How do you pick just one favorite memory of Nate?? My memories are all great. What I will remember most is always laughing. I never knew what Nate was gonna do next, but that it would be memorable. I will never forget Nate's magnetic personality and his ability to bring light to every situation or setting he was in. Nate will be sadly missed and gladly remembered.

Nate worked for us as General Manager at Advanced Leak. He was always so happy and dedicated. He often would come in and we enjoyed teasing each other. He was such a great guy and we are sorry to see him go. He definitely touched our lives.

Octoberfest 2008- Jenn's mom's house. I knew Nate in high school and re-met him later in life through Staci. On this particular night it was Nate's first time playing LCR. He was so excited to learn, and even more so when he won the 2nd pot. We even nicknamed the dollar bills "Jorge" (pronounced Horhay). Miss you Nate- Rest in peace.

My favorite memory... All of them. All the trips to Rocky Point. I will miss you and remember you. "This is why we don't have nice things."

Oh my... there are so many memories I don't know where to begin. Aside from the RCPM shows in Rocky Point, and the beers shared at many events and gatherings, oh, and of course the bicycle poker runs, my favorite memory of Nate is talking with him by the fire on a camping trip after almost everyone else had gone to sleep. He shared with me his hopes for his future. It was an intimate conversation and Nate shared a vulnerability I had not experienced before. I felt close to him and remember...

Nate was like a brother to me. He was always teasing me. He called me Trouble when I came home from work. I always heard him talking to his friends outside. I'm sorry about what happened.

We were neighbors, and we were locked out of our apartment. We had our infant and she was so fussy and it was cold! My husband and I were panicking- when we saw Nate. He asked us if we needed help... Long story short, he went out of his way to break into our apartment! (Don't tell Violet). He had come out because he heard our baby crying. That night he was our hero (and Dave too). What a great guy! Andy, Michelle & Mya Bates
