NATE

Nate was the kind of person whose presence felt like home. Warm, steady, and always ready with a kind word or a quiet laugh, he brought light into every space he entered. He had the rare ability to make the best out of even the hardest moments, offering comfort not just with words but through the way he showed up for others. He was patient, gentle, and endlessly kind. Everyone who met him walked away feeling better for it.

Those who loved him say, “I would honestly relive any and every day with Nate. We always had great times.” Every moment with him mattered. Every memory is a treasure now held close.

Above all else, Nate was a father. He didn’t just love his son. He lived for him. His pride and joy was in watching his little boy grow, and he gave all the love he had to being a dad. His patience was unwavering. His care was constant. His son carries the best parts of him forward, and his legacy lives on in every laugh, every smile, every milestone.

If one more moment could be had, it would be to tell him everything. “I would tell him all about his son and all of his accomplishments to date.” The words left unspoken still hang in the hearts of those who knew him, but his story continues to be told. “We share his story often and always talk about him. We watch videos just to hear his voice.”

Nate would want to be remembered for how he treated people. For the way he gave love without needing to be asked. For the way he made people feel safe. He would want the world to remember that he was kind. That he always found a way to bring peace, even when life was anything but easy.

He was the best daddy. A kind soul. A patient heart. And someone whose memory deserves to be honored, not only in grief but in the love he left behind.

You are missed, Nate.
You are remembered in every small kindness.
You are loved, always.
