It doesn't seem real even though today marks a year since we lost you. I miss your smile, your voice, your silliness and jokes. Most of all I miss your hugs and beautiful spirit. You are so very loved and missed more than words can say. Be free, be whole, and be the happiest you can possibly be dancing on the streets of gold. Love you forever.

Well, today (April 11th) makes one year since your passing. Unfortunately, it still feels like it was just yesterday for me. I can't express enough how much I still and will always miss you. My heart is so very broken with out you. I know you are in a much better place now, and one day we will be together again. All my Love, Dad

I just heard about Nate's passing. He was one of the kindest friends I've ever had, and the world is a bit dimmer with him not in it.

Just heard about Nathaniel 's passing. Such a shock. He was such a very special young man. I think of him often, especially when I hear Vivaldi's double mandolin concerto. He told me it was his favorite classical piece. I remember picking him up and giving him a ride home on a rainy fall day. Our son, Sean, said, " Mom, it's Nate! He's in my math class! Pick him up!" We knew Nate over those high school years and a few beyond. Peter and I extend heartfelt condolences to the whole family. Sorry we've lost touch since you left Reading. Sending love and sympathy.

Meeting him in the coffee room at Optum and having a really nice conversation with him. All I remember thinking is that he was a REALLY, REALLY nice kid.

My sincerest condolences to Nate's family and friends -- we've lost a true light. I was lucky enough to work with Nate, a fearless leader and sarcastic wit. Though I only knew him a short time, we spent most of that time coding and laughing, and that's how I'll be remembering him.

To Nate´s family:

I am beyond sorry and sad to hear of Nate´s passing. I was friends for years with Nate a long time ago- he was the sweetest and smartest kid. He was a fantastic conversationalist- always quick with the wit and a joke, and a great listener, someone you could really have a serious conversation with and felt both seen and heard.

I´m incredibly sorry for your loss.

I am truly shocked. Nate was a team mate of mine at LeanIX. We also did some climbing together and exchanged personal stuff during lunch. Nate, you were one of a kind and I will miss you a lot. Rest in peace, Nate. My deepest condolences to his family & friends.

I'm deeply sadden by his loss. He was an excellent co-worker and developed into a friendship. I enjoyed our table tennis session during break, as he certainly gave me a challenge. He will be sorely missed. RIP.

My favourite memory of us is when I told you how we had a christmas contest in the previous year on who had the most christmassy background in meetings (meaning virtual backgrounds). Next meeting you had the back of your room decorated in the most christmassy fashion, wanting to make everyone smile. For me this describes so well how I got to know you as a person - with a big heart, creative, funny, dedicated, loving, and so much more. I am grateful that I got to meet you. In loving memory of a wonderful person and my deepest condolences to the family.

Nate was a wonderful human being. He was really funny and smart. We met at work and every time we had a break it was ping-pong time! I was not a fan of going to the office but people like him made it more like a home. We need more people like him. I´m sad to see that he is not with us anymore. I hope the family can find peace.
