I'm sorry your loss. Nathan was a great person. I met him when I worked at McDonald's in Winder while we were in high school. He gave me the nickname "nugget" cause I was always yelling for nuggets. He will be truly missed by many. Nathan thank you for serving our country. You were always one that stood up for others.

A dedicated and sincere warrior. I was always anxious to be around him and greet him face to face. He would light up your heart and mind with an special feeling of love and humor. God gave us a great gift to know him and have him in our lives. He changes us by being himself amd supporting all our crazy notions and quims. The job he did for me was nothing but stellar. The example will never be matched because it was from this warriors heart. Going to be a long line in heaven waiting to get to this guy some day. April and family.........you lived with one of the best. May God comfort you heart knowing Nathan's memory will live on in our lives and work.

Nathan,
You were one of the kindest people we knew. You always made everyone feel happy even when things didn't seem that great! Without you and April, our family would have never became a reality. We are forever grateful for your friendship and your family! Your time on this earth was short but you will never be forgotten. We love you all very much!
