NATHANIEL STEPHEN LUGO WESLACO - Nathaniel Stephen Lugo, 13, passed away suddenly Sunday, December 16, 2012. He was born December 15, 1999 to Robert and Celinda Lugo. Affectionately known as Big Nate, he was known for his light hearted approach to life, his laughter and smile was contagious and made you forget of life's hardships. He was everyone's friend. Nathan was blessed to have experienced the joy of excelling in his athletic endeavors having played Weslaco Little League Baseball and B. Garza Middle School football. He was an avid Boston Red Sox Fan and Baltimore Raven Fan but his true heart lied with his beloved Weslaco Panthers. He is survived by his loving parents, Robert and Celinda Lugo, of Weslaco; his brothers, Bobby Jay Lugo of Edinburg, Jacob D. Lugo, Robert D. Lugo, Ryan R. Lugo, Matthew R. Lugo, and Marcus A. Lugo all of Weslaco; 2 sisters, Heather M. Lugo and Lani R. Lugo, both of Weslaco and 1 niece and 1 nephew. He is also survived by his maternal grandparents, Raul and Janie Rios of Weslaco, and paternal grandparents, Gracie Garcia (Raul De Anda) of BenBolt, TX and Jose Luis (Mari) Martinez of Weslaco. Visitation will take place today, Tuesday, December 18, 2012 from 5pm-9pm at McCaleb Funeral Home in Weslaco.

My son, Chris Garcia, is deeply saddened by the loss of one of his best friends. On Monday he broke down when he pointed out the tree where they last spoke, the pavilion where they would spend time together on a daily basis waiting to get picked up...there were so many wonderful memories that were made. Chris says he is honored to have called Nathaniel a FRIEND because he was a good role model, kind, friendly and easy to talk to.

From our family to yours, we extend our most sincere condolences. God bless you.

Life is so short and unpredictable. Losing Nate so unexpectedly shows how important it is to treasure each day and remember the words of Ecclesiastes 9:5,11 which says we should do all the good we can while we are alive, because we never know when we will fall asleep in death.Thankfully, we can have faith in the reward of everlasting life.--Romans 6:23. May God Bless and comfort you Robert and Celinda and the Lugo family.
