Obituary

Nathan Shotwell peacefully departed this world on May 3, 2025, at the age of 59. Born on January 2, 1966, Nathan leaves behind a legacy defined by humor, generosity, love, and kindness—qualities that touched everyone fortunate enough to know him.

With a razor-sharp wit and a playful spirit, Nathan had an unparalleled ability to brighten any room he entered. Friends and family remember him as a source of infectious laughter, always ready with a clever joke or a heartfelt story. His warmth and humor were complemented by a profound generosity, as he consistently put others before himself, offering help and solace without a second thought.

Nathan drew immense peace and strength from his faith, having converted to Eastern Orthodox later in life. His spiritual journey was a testament to his desire for a deeper connection with God and an understanding of life's greater purpose. This enriched his character, providing him with a profound sense of calm and compassion that he graciously shared with those around him.

A lover of adventure and merriment, Nathan approached life with an infectious zeal. Whether it was embarking on road trips, engaging in barbecues with friends, or exploring the natural beauty of whatever state he was living in, he found joy in life's simple pleasures and shared that joy abundantly.

Nathan is survived by his beloved family, who were the cornerstone of his life. He was a devoted husband, a loving son, and a beloved brother. Each relationship marked by his boundless love and unwavering support. His absence leaves a void, but his spirit lives on in the laughter he inspired and the love he gave so freely.

While Nathan's physical presence will be sorely missed, his influence endures in the countless lives he touched. As friends and family gather to celebrate his remarkable journey, they do so with gratitude for the times shared and the enduring example of a life well-lived.

In this moment of farewell, we find comfort in the lasting impact of Nathan's vibrant spirit and the knowledge that he now rests in eternal peace, enveloped in the love and light of God. He is now surrounded by his loved ones that have gone before. His mother, grandparents, aunts, uncle, and beloved dog, Frank.
