Nathan's natural athletic ability, combined with hard work, led to many outstanding achievements in football, wrestling and track. Along with being a standout athlete, Nate also loved music, fishing, boating, nice cars, hunting and looking good! But mostly, Nathan loved his family and friends. Countless hours were spent with those that mattered most to him.
