Nathan Lee Daub, 31, formerly of the Denver area, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. Born and raised in Denver, Nathan was the son of Steven C. Daub and Vicki (Bard) Daub.
Nathan attended Cocalico High School. As a youth, he enjoyed the boy scouts, placing first in a pinewood derby, and he was active in several sports throughout his school years such as soccer and midget football until finding a love for wrestling. Nathan was also involved in youth group at a young age where he participated in Christmas plays and as a young teen, he traveled to Alaska on a two-week mission trip. Nathan grew to love the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing. The mountains were one of his favorite places where he would go hiking and exploring. He also spent time playing paintball with friends and running dirt bikes or four wheelers along the trails whenever he could. Nathan had a love for adventure; he spent part of his youth in job positions that fulfilled his adventurous spirit, from a roofer on church steeples to helping a team dismantle silos. Also, his stamped concrete work was a proud accomplishment for him. Nathan spent several years traveling between eastern towns in Pa. He settled in Lemoyne where he loved the sights and fishing along the river. Nathan will be remembered for his love of adventure, warm friendship, and kind smile.
In addition to his parents, Nathan is survived by two sisters, Rachael K. Wise (Cody) of Lititz and Amber Daub of Ephrata; three nephews, Noah, Hudson, and Cooper Wise; and grandparents, Sandy Daub, and Jean & Clair Bard.
