Just heard the news of Nathan's light going out of this world. I am crushed. I will never forget how he and Will and Dana and Adrienne drew out shy students in my class to risk sharing their thoughts in writing until every student read a piece out loud. We all looked forward to that class. What wonderful gifts he was blessed with and how generously he shared them. We were lucky to know him. My heart goes out to his family.

Sue and Emily, Your son and brother was a magical human being. He made an impact on everyone he's ever met. To say he will be missed doesn't accurately express the void left by his absence. I send my deepest condolences.
