Nathan James Kaufman

I still think about you Nathan alot. One good deed at a time. That's what I do for you every day.
We miss you

Brad, Christen and Catherin,

I was so deeply saddened when I heard about Nathan. I know how much you love him and please know that I am thinking about you.

Brad, Kristen and Catherin,
My deepest condolences to the Kaufman Family during this difficult time. Sending prayers of comfort and support to you all. I remember Nathan and Harley would play when they were little during the District Meetings in the kid suite. Nathan was a sweet boy and made Harley feel welcome and at ease. Heaven has a new Angel in Charge...... and his name is Nathan James Kaufman.

Being the oldest I had the pleasure of watching all my younger cousins grow up. Nathan was nothing short of special starting at a young age. Nathan was extremely smart and compassionate. He had a smile that would light up the room and a presence that surrounded him unlike others I have ever felt. I remember times of watching old war movies with nonno that he would either find on TV or ones that he would get shipped to the house. We would all camp out in the living room on the couch bed because the back room was to scary when we were kids.
As the years progressed things evolved and we went from being a family of all boys to now having a girl cousin. We all had no idea what to think of baby Catherin brining her tea set into the boy's room while we played madden on the N64.
Auntie Kris getting mad at us when we didn't include her. Nathan always stood by his sister, and when the rest of the cousins would be too busy doing boy stuff, Nathan would make a point to be with his sister. That's the moment I knew that the love that Nathan had for his sister was larger than anything I have ever seen before between siblings.
That love didn't end there, as Nathan and Catherin continued to grow I saw that bond grow to one that should be envied. Over the past few days as I have had time to reflect on the impact that Nathan made in so many lives, it brings tears to my eyes. Not tears of grief or sadness. They are tears of pride and bliss. I have seen through videos and stories that Nathan had nothing short of the same impact to others as he did to me and the Kaufman family.
Nathan had a bright smile that could light a room. He had a large heart, a witty sense of humor and loved his family. He was dedicated and worked hard to achieve more and become the great person he was. I reflect on the fun memories and times we had with Nathan. At this most difficult time, I know that Nathan would want us to celebrate his life. Celebrating his life, and carrying on his passion and heart for everything in this world. I personally rejoice in the knowledge that I will see my little cousin one day in the kingdom of heaven and we should all rejoice in that same way. God bless everyone.

Brad, Christen and Catherin,

Words cannot express the sorrow and feelings of support that our family has for your family. No family should ever have to experience this and know that we are thinking of you and praying for each of you. It is very apparent that Nathan touched so many in his 24 years and I hope all of those whom he touched will reach out to you and share their stories of him with you. All our love - Dan Lumma and Family.

Brad, Christen and Catherin,
Our hearts ache for your family. May precious memories of Nathan comfort you, and may the love and caring concern of family and friends carry you through this time of sorrow.
David & Tanya Claggett

Brad, Christen and Catherin, we are so very blessed to have shared with you the miracle that Nathan was. He was electric, with an amazing sense of humor, a smile that could light up a room, and tremendously talented. He will be sorely missed. Our deepest love and sympathy are with you all during this time. Wishing you much love, your brother and his entire family

Kaufman family,

It was such a pleasure to have the chance to know your Nate. From the moment we met him, we knew that he was a special one. He quickly became family to us. He carried himself unlike any other boy of his age, with such a kind heart and great sense of humor. His strong determination and drive towards life was both inspiring and contagious. We will cherish the memories and the countless laughs that we shared with him. Our hearts are absolutely broken for you. Know that you are in our constant thoughts and prayers.

Brad, Christine and Catherine, we were so saddened and devistated by the loss of Nathan. While we knew him and your beautiful family for only a short time during Nathan's freshman year at Virginia Wesleyan we have always fondly remembered the times we shared together.

Our hearts are breaking for you and your entire family. We are sending you much love and praying that you can find comfort in knowing so many care for you and the amazing son you have lost.

Dear Nate,
nothing I can say can fully describe how incredible of a person you were. Your charisma and intellect was unmatched, easily one of the smartest people I knew. On top of that you were also the funniest and kindest guy. You never failed to make me feel included in the group. We became fast friends and I am forever grateful for that friendship. You will live on forever in the memories we made together, Nate. Love you forever,
Hannah

Love you always, Nate. May you Rest In Peace.

Dear Brad and Christen,
My deepest and most sincere condolences go out to you and your family during this unimaginably difficult time. I pray for peace and understanding for all of you.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

Dear Christen and Brad,

Our hearts and prayers go out to you during this most difficult time.

With our deepest sympathy,

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

We are so blessed to have had this extraodinary young man in our lives. Nathan was a true southern gentleman with a quick wit, a bit of "Cali" humor, and a loving and kind heart. We all considered Nate a part of our family, and through him, grew to love your family. Praying that God will give you strength and guide you through this most difficult time. We will always love Nate the Great.

Praying for strength for your family. May you comfort each other and lean on the Lord.

In memory of Nathan, the men of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity Delta Psi Chapter pledge class of 2013 have donated to the Nathan Kaufman Memorial Law Scholarship Endowment. Nathan touched each and every one of our lives and he will be greatly missed by us all. Nathan was an incredible friend and brother. We will carry him with us for the rest of our days.

We are so sorry to hear about your family's loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you all in the days ahead with comfort and strength.

So very tragic. Such a wonderful, intelligent young man with a promising future. So very sorry for all the family; my heart and prayers are with you!

Carol and Phil Garner

Words seem so inadequate - Please know our love and prayers are with you and your family.

My heart goes out to the entire Kaufman family through this tough time. Nathan was a great guy who everyone loved to be around. He was always able to put a smile on people's faces. I will never forget the experiences we had from lacrosse in high school to our time at ole miss. Nate and I sat together at every Ole Miss football game, the good and the bad, but my favorite by far was the Ole Miss and Alabama game the first time we beat them and stormed the field. That will be a memory I will cherish for a lifetime. Much love and god bless. May you Rest In Peace Nate, love you brother.

We are so sorry for the loss of your son. Praying for peace and healing for your family.

All our love to you,

Manny and Kate Diaz

Sending our deepest sympathies to you all at this very sad time. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and are so glad you all have each other for love and support. You are a special family and Nathan was blessed and a blessing.

Christen, my heart aches for your sudden loss of Nate the Great. May the Lord envelope you, Brad and Catherine in his love and ease your pain. Praying for you all,
Love Vikki and Joe Cutillo

I'm devastated for you and your entire family. Speechless at this tragedy.

Nathan was always smiling and always tried to make everything fun...especially baseball practice. His smile was infectious and though you all moved to Texas before we could see him grow into the handsome young man he was, we were able to follow his success through Facebook and keeping in touch with you. We mourn with you, Brad, Christen and Cat, and even though we cannot imagine your pain, we are praying for you and we will try and support you in any way we can.

We are so saddened by the news of Nathan's passing. Our love and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers. Can't even begin to understand or imagine what you all are going through. Nate the Great will be missed. Love and hugs!

Life is not measured in length, but in depth, Nathan in his short 24 years was blessed to have touched so many and experienced the world. We will always have you in our hearts, your smile, laugh and passion live within all of us now. We love you and we are blessed and privileged to have you in our lives. We love you always, Mike, Kris Tyler and Brett

Sending my love and prayers to your family. My heart hurts for you, Chris and Brad - love you...

My deepest heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you. I did not know Nathan, but I know people who knew him. I know what the pain is like to lose a child. Last year I lost my son, Mikey, who was 18 and a student at The Woodlands High School, as well as an infant son Tommy many years ago. May God provide you with comfort and the strength to carry on.

Ron and I extend our deepest sympathies to your sudden loss of Nathan. We have great memories of watching him grow up to be a fine young man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

The house of 403 sends our love, thoughts, and prayers to the Kaufman family. I speak for all of us when I say we are better people for knowing such a beautiful soul. While you will forever be missed, know you will always live on in our hearts.

I knew Nate from Ole Miss. He was a very good friend to my daughter, Anna Eden, and always a gentlemen to me when I visited. He will be missed so much by us. We will remember him always. Please know I am praying for your family.

The McShan family sends our love and prayers to your family. Nate will be forever missed. May God comfort you in the days ahead.

Our condolences to your family. Lots of memories with the kids hanging out. Prayers for all of you.

My deepest condolences to all of you, our lacrosse family mourns the loss of one of our own. We all have great memories of Nate to help us through this time.

Shocked to hear this news. My heart felt condolences and may God gives you all strength to overcome this loss.
Rashmi Gupta

May memories of "Nate the Great" and the love of friends, family and our community surround you and give you strength in the days ahead. I will never forget that contagious smile.
