It was what it was "Roll Tide"!!Nathan, affectionately known by his family and friends as "Junebug", was a confident speaker of what was on his mind and always the life of every party. There was never a dull moment when Nathan was around. It is often said that one should live without no regrets and Nathan exemplified that very concept.

His loving sisters, Keasel and Katrina, considered him to be their best friend despite the daily contested conversations they shared, which will truly be missed. Of the many relationships that he established, his role as a son was the one he took great pride in. He loved his family with all his heart, but his mother was his pride and joy. Simply because of who he was and a true people-person, Nathan was extremely easy to love. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed everything life had to offer.
