Kelly, Jerry, Michelle and Joe,
My thoughts are with you each and every day. Nathan taught me what a Dogwood Tree looks like, which wild mushrooms are eatable. No person on this planet can navigate Boggs' trails and twist like Nathan, an athlete, a great story teller and a wise soul gone to soon, but his impact on me will stay forever.

From the Price Family:
My heart and so many others , are so broken. It is hard to find the words. Of all the kids my daughters grew up with. Nate was special. He was a old soul. He made me laugh and smile. I loved how he and Sheena were best friends. She had a dream that a dark hair handsome boy was going to be coming into her life. And sure enough Nate's Family moved to Kelseyville area. I am so glad they did. My prayers go out to all of you, and I am so sorry this happened. Nate we love you and we will miss you forever. Thank you for all the fun times..Sharesa, Sheena, Christina Price..

We all know Nate was a great chef, passionate and particular about food. He was so proud of his first set of knives that he carried them around with him to show all of us – more than once. He was a great friend as well, compassionate and kind, with a heartwarming smile

Nate and my granddaughter, Che' had been close friends since pre-school age. This beautiful friendship brought him into our family and as the years went by we each developed a special relationship with him. Nate and I were pals in the kitchen. We were definite foodies.

We talked recipes, we talked spices, we talked herbs and sauces and we were very critical about the right layers of flavors for a given dish. We would test a recipe over and over until we got it right.

When he started working in plumbing, he wouldn't allow me to call anyone else and of course he wouldn't let me pay him. So we made a deal. He would come over on a Saturday to fix whatever plumbing issue I might have and for lunch I would serve the current recipe I was working on.

The last Saturday he came over I was getting excited over a pumpkin soup I had developed. I felt it was ready for his critique. I thought he was about finished with the work, so I served the soup. However, he had a little more to do and it took a while longer.

Finally, we sat down to eat the lunch I had bragged about to Nate and when I put my spoon in the bowl I was shocked to find the soup had thickened to a mashed potato consistency. The taste was there but it was sludge. Embarrassed, I apologized to Nate. He simply gave me that great Nate smile and said, “No, no, Grangi, It's really great.” He was a charmer.

Nate's smile will forever live in our hearts.

In loving remembrance,
Janegi Clark

Nate was one fun-loving guy and although I hadn't seen him for a few years, aside from a few conversations on Facebook, my heart is truly broken. I remember Nate as one of the most well-like guys in my graduating class. He didn't belong to any one social click; instead having the unique ability to be friends with everyone he came across. Nate's charm was to make everyone around him feel accepted and he always had a positive way of looking at the world. I'll never forgot the road trip we took up to Eureka. We had so many good laughs and memories along to way. And when Ricky, Steve, and I moved away to Southern California a year after graduation, Nate was one of the only people who made the long trip down to visit us. He always had a funny story to tell, taken from one of his many adventures in life. Nate has left a powerful influence on all of us. This tragedy is a overwhelming example of how one person can bring so many other people together. Nate, you were truly one-of-a-kind.
