Nathan's obituary
Nathan John Fosshage passed away unexpectedly on February 15th, 2024. He was born October 1st, 1983, to David Fosshage and Ann Chambliss. He graduated from LaFollette High School in 2002. He joined the Military in 2003 and served his country for 8 years ending at the rank of ABH3(AW), receiving several accommodations and serving during the Iraq War. He was most proud of his time in the military, serving his country alongside his brothers and sisters with honor.
Life of sacrifice and service ran in his blood and continued after his service to his country. Nathan was a volunteer firefighter in Key West and Merrimac. He most recently served with the Department of Corrections and quickly rose up the ranks to Lieutenant.
Nathan loved to be outdoors in his free time, hunting, fishing, golfing and riding his Harley. He was a proud Member of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association Chapter here in Wisconsin. He enjoyed sharing this love for the outdoors with his father David, his brother Paul and Friends. Sadly, Nate was a Bears Fan, however, he loved going to Lambeau and watching the games with his Packer loving Family. He loved going to Brewer games. Outside of work, he loved spending time with his kids, Skyler & Gianna, his dogs Sofie and Finley as well as traveling and going on new adventures. Nate is best known for his infectious laugh; everyone knew he was there when he walked into the room.
He is survived by his son Skyler (15), Gianna (10), Girlfriend Angela Haas, Father David (Leis Docken) Fosshage, Stepfather Clea Chambliss, Brother Paul (Amber) Fosshage, Sister Shannon (Chris Marzullo) Ripp, Sister Zena Willams, Sister Rene Chambliss, several Nieces and Nephews, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Military Family, Corrections Family, Friends and so many more lives that he touched throughout his life.
