Nathan was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. At birth he was expected to live only 30 minutes. He defied those odds until 35 years later when in July of 2018 he was diagnosed with cancer.  He endured it well as he had every challenge, with courage and resilience.

His great love for all is a testament of the Savior’s great love, not only for him but for each of us.
