Nathaniel C. Eberly

Nathaniel C. Eberly, 30, of Ephrata, passed away on Saturday, January 11, 2025, in his sleep at home.
He was born in Ephrata to Randy and Deana (Rankin) Eberly and was the beloved husband of Kendall J. (Scott) Eberly. Nate was also the proud dad of their dogs, Lincoln and Monroe (aka Maryland).
A 2013 graduate of Ephrata High School, where he played varsity soccer and basketball, Nate went on to get his bachelor's degree from the California University of Pennsylvania in 2016. He was currently working as a produce manager at Giant while obtaining his Ecological Gardening certification from Mount Cuba Center in Delaware. Nate loved the outdoors and cared deeply about the environment. His passion for health and his love of animals led him to become vegan in 2018. An Eagle Scout, Nate enjoyed going to the gym, was a native gardener, and an avid sports fan. He loved spending time in his yard, playing with his dogs, and being with family.
In addition to his wife and parents, Nate is survived by maternal grandparents, Gerald and Shirley Rankin; paternal grandmother, Joyce Eberly; a brother, Alex, husband of Jamie Eberly; a nephew, Leo Eberly; parents-in-law, John and Tricia Scott; two sisters-in-law, Chandler, wife of Dylan Jaffe, Delaney Scott and a brother-in-law, Blake Scott.
