49 of North Lawrence, Ohio, passed away on Wednesday, March 9, 2011, at Affinity

After graduating from Fairless High School, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree at Youngstown State University. Nathan had worked at Fleming Foods for 22 years. At the time of his death, he was employed at Biery Cheese. He was a member of Newcomer's Chapel in Massillon. He enjoyed coaching the Tuslaw girl's softball team and the Upward girls basketball team, but most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.
Nathan is survived by his wife, JoAnne (Klein) Hollinger, whom he married on Dec. 17, 1988; his four daughters: Andrea, Kayla, Alexa and Trista Hollinger; his son, Brock Hollinger; his parents, Edwin and Sonja Hollinger; his brothers, Matthew (Lisa) Hollinger and Marc Hollinger and his sister, Janelle (Kevin) Gill.

Burial will follow at Newman Creek Cemetery. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Sunday from 1-5 p.m. and on Monday one hour before the service.

So sad to hear about Nate. It's been a long time since we played baseball against each other and had some great times running around during the summer we were old enough to drive. Nate was always a joy to be around. I'm sure that continued all these years. Our prayers are with Nate's family and we are so sorry for his passing too soon. May God bless you and may you always treasure those memories and good times with him.

JoAnne and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. What a great man, and it's hard to understand why he would be taken so young. Mary loved him as a softball coach and she had so much fun playing for him last summer. I admired his calm demeanor and he was a true gentleman. I enjoyed talking with Nate at ball games and other events at Tuslaw over the years. He will be missed. God Bless.
