Nate was a blessing on not only my life, but the lives of many others. He had an unforgetable smile that i still think of today. He will always be in my heart, and I will always think of him as the boy who gave me a positive outlook on life.
You will never be forgotten Nate.

i don't know what to say. I'm so sorry for your loss. Nate was my best friend at lalumiere. he was my partner in my biology class. We worked on the pig operation together and he told me that was going to be my assistant when i will be a doctor. He even promised me to go with me to visit my family in Africa after graduation. He was lovely always smiling , all his friends are going to miss him. Your son was an angel.

Dear Bill and Debbie,
I can't express how saddened I was to hear of your loss. It's been a very long time since I've seen you, in fact Jordan was just a baby, but I think about you now and then looking at photos. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you as well as from Dad (Steve Souris).

Nate was a cool and enthusiastic guy. He lived next to my dorm room at La Lumiere and cheered me up every time. His words made me laugh all time. Things will be different next year without him. I will miss him very much.

Dear Debbie, Bill & Jordan,
Your loss is unimaginable. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. Please let us to be there for you whenever you are in need of comfort.
I am not one to write poetry, but your loss was my inspiration to write this poem in memory of Nate.
Where Do We Go
Where do we go after the show,
Of sympathy and sorrow expressed?
His days cut short to press full court,
A young boy’s life now lay to rest.
We want to share just how unfair
His budding future nev’r to know.
He was sixteen, any girl’s dream-
A broad smile he quickly would show.
Parents worry their son’s in a flurry;
Then his school gave him a mission.
He excelled in class he accepted the task,
Headed in the right direction.
Being a parent, what’s inherent
Is the endless desire to balance:
The love we feel, the rules we deal-
Just so our kids get the best chance.
Fate takes its claim without any shame;
We have no answers in the end.
Friends over the years and family shed tears
For what we cannot comprehend.
His parents alone, we return home
To cherish our children so dear.
Their house is void of any noise;
Now faced with the ultimate fear.
His brother tries concealing his cries,
Letting his heart carry the weight.
He is aware that his parents care,
And they know he also lost Nate.
Their loss so deep, they hope for sleep
As the coming days are endless.
As spectators we have our chores;
We have our routines to address.
Only they will know how real the blow
To lose a teenage child so soon.
Friends may draw near in hopes of cheer,
But repeated thoughts play the same tune.
Questions repeated, thoughts are heated;
The “what if’s” and “should have’s” confessed.
My prayer to you (for my comfort, too)
That you know God’s love is endless.
The grief too real which you must feel!
As friends, our sadness we conveyed.
True faith will mend but in the end,
Your son’s mem’ry will never fade.
Where do we go after the show,
Of sympathy and sorrow expressed?
His parents go to meet their foe,
Emotions no longer suppressed.

Dear The Putz Family,
Nate was one of my best friends at La Lu. When I would have a problem he would be there to listen, when I would have a bad day he was there to cheer me up. When Nate walked into a room he would lite it up. He had a spark of fun that made everyone laugh and have a good time. I will miss him next year at La Lu, it won't be the same with out him. He will be in my family's prayers and mine for the rest of my life.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Dear Putz Family,
My daughter was a classmate of Nate's for only a short few months but she developed a friendship with him that brought her a lot of joy. I visited her at LaLumiere a number of times and interected with Nate on several occasions. He seemed like such a fun loving energetic young man. When Christina was sick he made her soup. They both had dish duty one night when I was there for dinner and he had Christina and the rest of the kitchen crew laughing and goofing around with his antics. We have prayed for your family daily since we received the tragic news - our hearts go out to you and we pray God will bring you peace.

Nate was one of my closest friends. I always told him "Nate, your that one kid that I will never forget". He is gone from sight, but not from mind. Nate was one in a million, and always had something good to say, brightened up a room just by being there. I will always keep him in my thoughts and heart. My prayers are with Nate and his family.

Dear Putz family, I am so sorry for your loss. I did'nt know Nathan but I'm sure he was someone who made you proud. I pray for your family and wish you all well during these hardest of times. I've really enjoyed knowing you all and having Jordan work for me and I wish the best for Nathans friends and to you, his family.

I didn't know Nate for long but for the time that I did he changed my life. He always had something nice to say and I can barely recall seeing him in a bad mood. I cannot think of a single person who disliked Nate, but I doubt the people who did (if any) knew him very well. I don't know what I will remember most about him whether it will be his charasmatic comments or greetings; his smile that was as bright as a star; the way he told people that I was 'the man'; or the way he rapped 'Ice Ice Baby' whether in spanish class, in the talent show at school, or on the bus-ride back from a basketball game. Nate is one of the few truly unforgettable people that have graced this earth and he somehow touched the life of everyone he met.

Nathan was a wonderful person. I remember he would show up to work and no matter how bad a day anyone was having, he would always manage to put a smile on their face. There was no such thing as a bad day in Nathan's eyes. He will definately be missed.
