Felix Natividad Obituary
Nat was born in Portsmouth, Virginia on November 7, 1949, to Felix Natividad Sr. and Edna Earl Natividad. On November 4, 1968, he joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC). While in the USMC, he fought for this great county as he was in the Vietnam War. In 1979, he transferred from USMC to the United States Air Force (USAF). On 3/13/1998, Nat retired from the USAF.
Nat began his career with the California Department of Corrections (CDC), as a Correctional Officer at Duel Vocational Institution (DVI) on December 27, 1976. In 1984, he promoted to Correctional Sergeant. Nat then transferred to Chuckawalla Valley State Prison (CVSP) on December 12, 1988, where he promoted to Correctional Lieutenant on October 16, 1989. He retired on December 26, 2005, after a career spanning three decades. Nat did not end it there though, serving as a retired Annuitant from February 2006 to March 2012. All those who knew Nat, knew his CDC nickname as "RAT-A-TAT-NAT".
Nat married Guadalupe Banda (known as 'Lupe'), on November 10, 1972, in San Francisco, California. Nat enjoyed Country N Western dancing with his wife Lupe. He also enjoyed riding his Harley motorcycle, attending his grandkids functions, hanging out at the Moose Lodge and American Legion, and being around family and friends. Nat was a member of the Moose Lodge, American Legion, VFW, and CCPOA.
He is survived by his wife, Lupe Natividad; children, Ramona (Mike) Harrell, Sabrina Natividad, Michael Renee Natividad, Richard (Summer) Natividad, and Felicia Natividad; siblings, Ann Refre, Marie McCrery, Charlie Natividad, Roberta (Larry) Lunsford, Robbie Natividad, and Renee Jarrell; grand kids, Patrick Natividad, Benjamin Natividad, Jerrik Natividad, Jake Rayner, Jonathan Natividad, Christopher "CJ" Orozco Jr., Joel Rayner, and Isabella Copple; great grandkid, Fisher Lee Cotton, as well as many more nieces and nephews.
Nat was preceded in death by his parents, Felix Natividad Sr. and Edna Earl Natividad; siblings, Domingo Natividad, Michael David Natividad, Katharine Smith and Gerada Watson; granddaughter, Miryea Macaria Bridges (known as Mimie).
Nat served his country as he is a Veteran and as a Peace Officer. He was very patriotic and very proud of his country as he always flew the American Flag. He was very family oriented and is fondly remembered by friends as full of humor. Nat will never be forgotten, he will always be in our hearts and he is now our family's angel.

Lt. Natividad thank you for the two stepping dances you and your wife thought us. I was able to dance with my hubby without tripping!
It was a great pleasure working with you at CVSP. Rest in Peace Lt. Natividad

I had the honor of serving with Nat in the 163rd SFS as a Defender. He was someone who everyone in our Unit respected and enjoyed being around. Nat brought with him his prior military background and expertise and life experiences. He was always upbeat and he projected a positive attitude The wisdom he passed on will live on just as the memories we have of him. He will be missed.
HOOAH !
