The world lost an extraordinary soul—our best “can man.”

Nate was engaging, sweet, funny, and deeply beloved. He had a rare ability to light up any space, and his warmth made him unforgettable. 

Known also a great “fixer of things”. I remember when we spoke about one day you being an entrepreneur and opening your own shop. With your magnetic personality and generous spirit, there’s no doubt people would have flocked to support you. You had the heart of an entrepreneur and the soul of a friend.

The boys always felt seen and appreciated by you. Thank you for that kindness. Thank you for the laughter, the help, and the memories.

Nate, you will be missed more than words can say.

To Leslie, Dan, Grant, and Emily Grace—our hearts are with you. Sending love and prayers from our family to yours during this unimaginable time.

I can’t think of someone better respected and more well-liked in the Richmond community than Nate. If you’ve met Nate, you have great things to say about him. Nate was always the person you’d want to be around. Always could brighten the mood, make you laugh, make you smile…

He was one of a kind. Creative, intelligent, hard working, caring, driven are just some of the words to describe Nate. He truly lived life to the fullest.

You will be missed immensely Nate ❤️
