Nathan graduated from Kelseyville High in 1991, and spent several years logging in Shasta County before returning to Lakeport to work as a great restaurant cook for seven years. He then spent several more years in casino surveillance. He really enjoyed motorcycles and his four-wheel drive Blazer in the hills above Nice. He was a past president of the Lakeport Lions Club, and a former member of the Order of DeMolay.
A viewing for Nathan will be held from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 12 at Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary on High Street in Lakeport. His loving family invites you to share memories with them at that time.
A private family inurnment will follow next week, as Nathan is put to final rest at his father?s grave in Kelseyville Cemetery.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Nathan?s name to his fondest charity, the Lions Eye Foundation, c/o Lakeport Lions Club, P. O. Box 57, Lakeport, CA 95453. Helping children to see was Nathan?s special wish, and his family thanks you for your kind remembrance.
