In blessed repose grant O Lord eternal rest to the soul of your servant, Nathan Flynn, and render eternal his memory.

My heart goes out to his parents, Tom and Denise Flynn and to Nathan's wife and children.

The Flynn's were friends and neighbors in Virginia. I am very proud to say I knew him and was a small part of his younger life. I do remember going to his Court of Honor for Eagle Scout.
