I met Nate when I worked at Bayview golf club in 2001. He was a junior at the time. He would play golf until it was to dark to find his ball. I would often give him a ride home after. I also played league golf with him at bayview years later. he was a terrific golfer and an even better person. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

This was very sad news about one so young. We know the days ahead will be difficult but here is a hug and a prayer that your load will be lightened. May lots of good memories of Nate bring you some joy in the coming days.
Kevin Bowman
Minds are numb, the grief is real and this loss is great for such a young man as this. Why, is the prevailing question that we meditate upon. A troubled heart and a great weight not shared for the help that was needed. I look unto the Lord and simply ask, Father please touch us all, be with Nathan’s brother and especially with Harold. I am sorry to not be able to share something and give you a consoling embrace with so many others that stand with you at this time. Lord, carry the load for the family now and in these days to come. You are in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. Amen
