Nathan Winchester Simpson
August 21, 1953-January 23, 2024
On Tuesday afternoon, January 23, 2024, Nathan Winchester Simpson, 70, went to be with the Lord. Nathan was born at Mercy Hospital in Charlotte, NC, the son of the late Leroy Franklin Simpson Sr. and Doris Marie Simpson.
Nathan Simpson was assaulted when he was a young teenager leaving him with a traumatic brain injury. The motor portion of his brain was damaged leaving him without the ability to walk. He loved listening to music, his favorite being Elvis. In his last years he suffered from dementia and other health issues. On his bad days all we had to do was turn on Elvis music and he would immediately sing and dance in his wheel chair.
Nathan’s warmth, dedication, and love for his family will be cherished in the hearts of those who knew him. Nathan has wanted to be in Heaven with Jesus for so long and now he is Home.
Nathan is survived by his ex-wife and loving friend Sharon Carstens, his son Bryan Simpson, daughter-in-law Jacqueline Simpson, granddaughter Ashley (Caleb) Roland, grandson Ethan Simpson, his brothers Wayne, John, and Leroy Jr. Simpson. His step brother Tony Gordon, step sisters Tammy Smith and Sherri Dunn. He was predeceased in death by his two step brothers Rick and Jimmy Gordon.
Visitation will be held on Monday, January 29, 2024 from 6:00pm-8:00pm, at Hartsell Funeral Home in Concord, NC 28026.
Privates Service will be held at a later date.
