I attended UTI with Nathan along with Jimmy Kincheloe. Nathan was a good person and a good friend. Jimmy and I lived with Nathan as roommates while attending school in Phoenix. Jimmy and I used to torment Nathan while he played music on his guitar. He would often write songs about how he couldn't stand us, which was pretty funny. I was shocked and saddened to hear from my brother that Nathan had passed.I travel to Phoenix every year for training and I always travel nearby the apartment complex where the three of us lived. This apartment was our first home away from home. It's located in a not-so-good neighborhood and it is truly scary to think we lived there. However, we had some good times and that's what I always remember.

I met Nathan in our senior year in auto shop. What stands out the most in my memory was working with Nathan in Lenheim's auto shop class on a seemingly endless project of getting a broken down van running again. Who else remembers him bringing his mother's car into the shop every Monday morning to wash away the evidence of the past weekend? I would sometimes go to Nathan’s house after school to practice playing guitar with him. He definitely had his own style of play! Nathan was a good guy and good friend to anyone that knew him. I was also shocked and saddened to hear of his passing.
