I lived in the same dorm hall as Nathan our freshman year, and knew what a good man he is. His passing is very sad to me, and I will miss him. Our prayers are with his family.
Sincerely,

To the Family of Nathan:
What a dear person Nathan was. Met him a couple of different times at various Events, but the last time I saw him was in Orlando, Fl in April......he always had a smile on his face and a kind word to say. I know you will miss him so because we did not know him for very long and we already miss him!! You raised a wonderful son and you all are in my thoughts and prayers, Diane Munckton

I found out this past Saturday that Nathan had passed away. I'm so sorry.
I deliver mail at Xyngular every Thursday. Nathan was almost always the one who came down to pick up parcels. I looked forward to seeing him. He was a delight to see and to talk to. I very much enjoyed his personality. Even though I only saw him once each week, I will very much miss him. Family, friends & co-workers, all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

I talked to Nathan on the phone many times. He always remembered who I was, and that was amazing, considering the hundreds of people he talked to daily. He was so nice, and so helpful, and even called me back once, when he couldn't find the answer to my questions. I will miss him SO much.

I roomed with "Nate-dog" in Nashville last year for work. We were together almost literally 24/7 for 3 or 4 days. I was impressed by his personality, realizing he wasn't as quiet as I once thought! The people LOVED him and I was amazed how positive he was, even in the middle of 19 hour days! I miss him here at work and I pray for his family and friends. See you again on the other side, friend!

Dearest Aileen:

I am so sorry to learn of your tremendous loss -- via Rabbi Blumoffe's e-mail.

I'm sitting next to my 5 year old as he naps and fights for his life to continue as I read Nathan's loving obituary.

I miss our conversations at the gym -- early in the morning and I hope to see you again soon.

May you and your family find peace soon.

Shalom Alecheim, Liza Lewis

To the family and friends of Nathan,
I met Nathan in Las Vegas in 2011 - he was the most polite and helpful young man; smiling and laughing - all the while working hard and keeping up with the demands of hundreds of folks asking for his help.
As I recently viewed his Facebook photos, it is evident that Nathan loved life, living with gusto, experiencing adventures and being goofy with his friends and family. It's obvious his smile and laugh were contagious.
I wish you prayers for peace and comfort as you mourn Nathan's passing and celebrate his life with the same gusto that he lived it.
Blessings

Nathan, I have talked to you so many times over the phone the last few years. I finally got to meet you last year in Nashville at the Xyngular convention. We bonded over the "coconut monkey" mug on the dinner river cruise. We chatted more over the year and got to see each other again in April in Orlando at another Xyngular event. Your smile & excitment will never be forgotten. You will continue to be a blessing to all that spoke to you over the phone and in person. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts every day. God Bless.
