He approached his work with diligence and pride, earning the respect of his colleagues for his reliability, strong work ethic, and willingness to help wherever needed.
Outside of work, Nathan was a man of simple pleasures. He had a love for motorcycles and the open road ā a freedom and peace he cherished. Friends and family remember him as someone who never sought the spotlight but was always there when you needed him ā steady, kind, and deeply genuine.
