There are no words that can express just how sorry I am to hear of Nate’s passing. We’re not supposed to bury our children, especially so young, with so much life ahead of them. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Father we entrust our brother Nate to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. May God hold Nate in the palm of His hand.
My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Nate. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest in Peace my Friend, I will always love and miss you. You will ALWAYS be in my Heart. <3
