Nathan Lynn Hamilton was born in Lubbock, TX on March 30, 1979, to Alvin and Deborah (McGee) Hamilton. He grew up in Lubbock and attended Lubbock – Cooper ISD. Graduated high school in May of 1997. Nathan had the biggest grin and the most beautiful eyes. He touched the lives of everyone he met. He was a thrill seeker and was happiest flying planes or riding fast motorcycles. He enjoyed raising fighting roosters but felt the greatest satisfaction sharing Christ and praying for others in prison and rehabs. His door was always open, and he constantly gave rides to people he saw out walking. He loved to fish, to go hunting with his dad and brother, to spend time with his son and love his mother with all his heart. Nathan could figure out absolutely anything, was a jack of all trades and enjoyed owning and operating a home improvement business.
