Dear Amy, Edward and Zachary,

I don’t know you personally, but my son Zachary attends the same school and during school parties I had the pleasure to interact with Nathan! My 2 favorite memories of him: one was our Spring party last year and he was so happy to play with chalk and was drawling all kinds of cute things on the sidewalk. Another one was when one of the staff members dressed as Elsa, and he got on his knees as he was asking her to dance! We are heartbroken and wish we could do something to ease your pain!  We know that he will be watching over you now that he’s gained his wings!  May God comfort you all during this painful time!

My favorite memories of Nate are all the same - each time we'd visit we'd all hang out, swim in the pool, and eat dinner.   Then immediately after we'd eat, Nate would tell mom, "go bye bye" - and he'd kick her out!  Always makes me laugh when I think about Nate kicking mom out of the house!  

Also, i dont think i ever met anyone who loved chicken nuggets as much as Nate.  

I will miss those moments, but I will always be able to laugh when I think about them.  So, thank you Nate.  

Amy, Ed, and Zach - we love you.  

Brian, Lindsey, Logi, and KK.

Amy,

Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My fun loving nephew Nate would say to me, "Aunt Karen bring me presents". Nate, You were the best present to everyone who knew you and loved you. We will miss you dearly but you left us with a bunch of great memories.
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning!

Amy,

My deepest condolences to you and your family.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Nate, from the day you came into the classroom I knew we had a special bond. You were a character in many ways and very determined. I enjoyed every moment we spent together. I will always hold a special place in my heart for you. Love, Ms. Angel

Dear Amy and Family,

I am heart-broken to learn that your beloved son's life has passed.  May his memory be a blessing for you and please know that his spark touched so many hearts.  
With most sincere condolences, Hillary Kruger

It’s been an honor to be a part of Nathan’s journey and I always looked forward to my days with him. He could make me laugh without even trying and I will cherish the memories I have with him forever. He will be so missed and my sincerest condolences go out to the family. To know Nathan was to love him. Rest easy buddy. 💔

Just the absolute happiest guy I’ve ever met. So much fun, super funny, such a chill dude…irreplaceable. His high fives were the best and his curiosity of all things was insatiable. I’ll miss him for sure but I know he’ll be evermore present within his family, forever. 

All the good vibes n love your way fam.🫶
