My prayers to Nathan's family. I met Nathan in college through our campus ministry. Nathan was so pure hearted and such a big love for God. He never said no to help others and was such an incredible example of a follower of Christ. I'm sure he's up in heaven laughing and telling jokes with God. We will miss you Nathan!

Nathan was my first Supervisor when I joined Engineering and he was one of the best people that I have ever worked for. I already had over 20 years of experience at D.C. Cook when this took place and Nathan would frequently ask questions in his new role. He cared about his team and we continued to talk after we both moved on to new opportunities. The last few times we saw each other I was walking with my dog and he was out running. He would ask about my retirement and was looking forward to retiring one day himself. I am saddened by this loss for all of his family and friends.

Nathan will be deeply missed. He was the kind of person who would put aside his own work to help others, no matter what he was doing. His kindness and respect left a lasting impression - the world is poorer for his loss. Rest in peace, my friend.

I worked with Nathan for many years at DC Cook. He was as nice a person as he was technically sharp. Nate always had a smile on his face and always had something positive to say. I and all of us at the plant will miss him.

I worked with Nathan at Cook Plant. Just an awesome and funny person to be around and consult with. He never met a stranger and would do anything he could to help at any time. Nathan will be sorely missed. Condolences to his church community, his coworkers, his wonderful family and many friends.

I´m sure that everyone that knew Nathan is heartbroken - I know I am. Nathan was just that kind of person. I worked with Nathan for many years, he helped train me. It would make me smile every time I would see him. He will be greatly missed. The world is less bright without him in it.

I am so truly sorry for this news. My heart goes out to all his family. I have many wonderful memories of Nathan growing up on the farm down the road from his childhood home. He was always gentle and kind and eager to give you a smile. My deepest condolences.

Nathan was a dear friend for 22 years. I remember when he told us he had met Jennifer & was so excited to introduce us to her. He & Jennifer have been such an important part of mine & my family´s lives in so many ways. I´ve never known anyone quite like Nathan; a heart and soul as pure as they come. He will be dearly missed.

Nathan, I loved serving alongside you, whether it was in Nicaragua or here, helping someone with their house or cutting and splitting wood for somebody. I love being able to talk to you about certain things and you were always right there where I was on my faith journey. You are a true example of what humility looks like in a person. You have showing us all the example of what Jesus would want us to live like here on this earth.

Nathan was a dear friend with a servant´s heart. He never knew a stranger, went out of his way to include others, loved his family fiercely, and wanted everyone to know Jesus no matter where they were in their walk. We were blessed to have him in our lives and blessed to call him friend.

We are heartbroken that he´s left this place on earth, but rejoice in knowing he is with the Father now, likely sharing a story.

Prayers and hugs for the family. We love you all.

I'm so sorry to the entire Lee/Crofutt family. I have too many great memories to list with one of my very best friends. He will be deeply missed.

We were so saddened to hear of Nathan's passing. We've known him since high school. We were a couple of years younger, but still knew Nathan pretty well because Nathan was someone who connected with everyone he knew, whether it was school activities, church activities, or out in public. Nathan had a way of making sure everyone felt included and important. Our kids also worked together at more than one VBS when they'd come to Littlefork to visit Ron & Cathy in the summer. Nathan's life was definitely a testimony to everyone who knew him. His love for Jesus was evident in the way he interacted with and cared for others. He will be missed. Please know your family is in our thoughts and prayers after this tragic loss.
Shawn & Erin Peterson and family

My son Elliott Akers and myself started to go to Granger community Church in November of 2013 when my son was 3 and he seen Elliott grew up with his son Alex we got to New him thru out the years since then. I started going to Bible group at his home in his wife group and my son got to hangout with Alex and him while us ladies had group on Sundays. The last time my son and I seen Nathan was on Saturday the 10th. at the 5 o'clock service I remember talking to him about my son Elliott was on the borderline of diabetes. We will miss him just joking at Elliott and myself when we see him at church.
