Nathan loved music, especially classic rock. He was an amazing vocalist, part of the show choir and A Cappella at Waukee High School. After his graduation, Nathan attended Iowa State and was a member of the Iowa Statesmen choral group. More recently, he and his friends created a band. He was even teaching himself to play guitar and violin, and was taking up piano again. Nathan had a brilliant and artistic mind; he loved math and collected and solved all kinds of Rubik’s puzzles or any other puzzle put in front of him. He enjoyed fishing, rereading the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and other book series, and watching the Aristocats over and over when he was younger. He also enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He had a quick wit and never missed a chance to crack a joke. Nathan will forever be loved and missed.
