Nathan graduated from Amarillo High before attending WTA&M in Canyon and then University of Texas Dallas. After graduation, he went to work for Zenoti wellness software. Dallas is where he met the love of his life, Branden Sayarath.

Nathan was a selfless, simple man. As long as others around him were happy, he was happy. He loved his family, his friends, his babies, and his Boo Bear. He was always smiling and made everyone around him do the same. He enjoyed long nights on the patio with his babies, game nights with the Boo, and writing his book. He loved writing and reading. His stories were always positive, and watching him type away, you could see how much it made him happy. Though he is not here anymore, he would still want us to feel his contagious positivity. Just know that everyone he had an impact on, also, had an impact on him.

Nathan was preceded in death by grandmothers Carolyn Blankenburg of Dumas. Nancy Wells and Dave Hernandez of Amarillo.
