Oh my goodness!! I’m so so sorry for your lost! Your family is deeply in my thoughts and prayers as my heart breaks for you all!
I was surprised and very saddened to see Nathan’s obituary in yesterday’s Fargo Forum. Nathan had been a student in my ENGL 225: Intro to Film class here at NDSU. He was the type of student I love to have in that class: enthusiastic and already quite knowledgeable–and he wrote insightful responses to the movies we watched. He also seemed to be a very nice young man. I am so sorry for your loss.
Dear Christian and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray you continue to be surrounded by the love of good friends and family. Margo Dempsey

Our hearts ache for your loss! Your family will remain in our prayers for peace and comfort. Mike shared with me that he LOVED playing Ultimate Frisbee with Nathan at ERA and that he was “one of the nicest people he had ever met”. Sending love and hugs!

There are no words…. I pray you are surrounded & comforted by those closest to you.
