Nate was stubborn…. He never backed down, never demanded the credit he deserved, never skipped an opportunity to give and never stopped loving his family.

For anyone that needed one, he was a brother.

I’ll miss you, until I see you again.

My condolences. I remember when he was born and when Beth was his Sunday School teacher. She’ll enjoy merry him again.

I served with Nate in 2005. He had a talent for commanding any place he was. He was a hell of a Marine and a better friend. I talked to him this January and it was a blessing to his voice. Prayers for Nates Parents, wife, children and siblings. I was heart broken to hear of his passing. Love you brother

Nate and I were in the same platoon, and we used to whisper funny stuff back and forth while standing in formation.
On August 6, 2005 his Amtrac got hit and because I was on the medical react team, I tended to Nate’s wounds in Fallujah. I kept Nate conscious the whole drive to TQ air force base so he could be transported out.
I will never forget that day, and I am proud to have helped give him another 33 years on this earth. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. R.I.P. brother. SEMPER FI We will meet again in Valhalla.

Every day I wake up and find it still hard to believe. Losing a brother like you whom I was so close with yet so very far away at the same time. I pray that your boys, Thomas and Chase one day know how very special and beautiful of a man you were. Your family is in my prayers. Until I see you again my friend. I’ll always miss you.

So very sorry to hear about your passing. We remember you from the hospital where our son Charles was after your injuries from Iraq. We are remembering your family in our prayers.

So sorry for your loss but he is with our Lord and savior. Praying for you all during this difficult time

Nate’s passing leaves a sadness in our hearts as he was the sweetest human being we know. He had a soft heart, a big smile and hearty laugh. He was the kind of son that every mother or father would want. His testimony at Life Fellowship was unlike any I’ve ever heard. I know he loved the Lord deeply and had a deep respect for so many. He went on missions to Brazil and other places as he had a huge heart for the disadvantaged. We still can’t believe he is gone but he will be loved forever. To all of his family we know he would want you to smile and be kind to everyone. Praying for All of Nate’s family, mom, dad, brother, sister, son’s, wife and everyone who knew him.

I met Nate my first trip to serve on the Relief Bus. That week changed my life forever and he was a huge part of that. He never told me about receiving a Purple Heart, which is right in keeping with his humble heart. He loved fiercely, served selflessly, and laid down himself over and over for everyone around him. I was blessed to know him and pray his heart lives on in his family ❤️❤️❤️

Condolances to family and friends deployed with nate in 2005 in Iraq. Rest easy Marine.
