He had passion for working, camping and appreciation of Earth’s beauty. He laughed often and loved much, he enjoyed Seafood and his chocolate milk. Nathan loved hunting fishing and good times.

He loved to relax by the ocean and Nooksack River, to receive the peace that it brought to him. The opportunity to share his heart of gold he did so with open arms. If he entered a room of strangers he left with many friends.

Devoted to those who cared. At a drop of a dime, he was there, if you needed a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen or a word of advice you could always count on him. He didn’t desire a castle, home was where he laid his head.

He always looked for the best in other, and gave the best he had. Surrounded by his loved ones he drifted fast to sleep. No longer will =he be in pain, his memory ours to keep”.
