Mr. Day has a surviving sister Sharon Forte (Mike) of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and a brother Michael Day (David) of Inman, South Carolina.

Mr. Day, known as Nate or Nathan to his family and friends, was a graduate of the Baptist College of Charleston. First and foremost, Nate was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather. His love for his family was immeasurable. In his professional life, Nate was an educator and varsity wrestling coach. His love for those he taught and coached knew no bounds. Nate’s love for life was contagious, and he lived every day to its fullest. He was a modest man who did not seek any recognition but deserved all of it.

Nathan Day was loved by his family, friends, colleagues, students, and his wrestlers. He will be missed dearly by all.
