Nathan Howard Osban, 61, of Niles, Michigan, passed away on Sunday, September 21, 2025.

He was born on April 18, 1964, in Niles, Michigan, to Lee Osban and Patricia (Rausch) Leet.

Nathan was preceded in death by his father, Lee Osban.

He is survived by his children, Nicole (Ryan) Peck, Daniel (Shiva) Osban, and Bradley (Autumn) Osban; his ten cherished grandchildren; his mother, Patricia Leet; and his sister, Marion Hurd.

Above all else, Nathan was devoted to his family. His children and grandchildren were the center of his world and the source of his greatest pride. He found his deepest joy in the time he spent with them, and his love for them will remain the truest measure of his life and legacy.

Nathan was a passionate Harley enthusiast who found freedom on the open road. He also enjoyed squirrel hunting and many memorable days outdoors, sharing his love of nature with family and friends. Known as a skilled jack of all trades, Nathan was always willing to lend a hand, and his generosity and big heart left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Those who knew Nathan will remember his quick wit, his playful humor, and his ability to bring light to those around him. His kindness, laughter, and unwavering love for his family will be deeply missed.

In accordance with Nathan's wishes, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Brown Funeral Home.
