Nathan's obituary

Nathan Mederic Darval died from traumatic injuries sustained after a rock climbing incident inTaylor's Falls, MN.  We deeply mourn the loss of our dear son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, partner, and friend.  Nathan was a gentle soul.  He was kind and loving.  He was always there to listen and lend a helping hand.   He was fearless, a true adventurer.  An avid outdoorsman, who's life's passions were rock climbing, hiking, skiing, canoeing/fishing...and really just about anything you could do outside!  Just a year ago, he suffered the loss of his sister, Megan Darval, and now we say goodbye to one of the most heartwarming people to ever walk this earth.  Nathan suffered from mental illness, like countless others all over the world.  At times, he suffered in silence.  If nothing else we wish for his death and his sister's death to help raise awareness that "it's ok to not be ok" and for others to find comfort in speaking up and speaking out about mental health.
