Over seven years ago neuroendocrine cancer (NET) became a part of his life and of those close to him. It was terrifying, brutal and relentless. But in the end, cancer failed. Yes, it robbed Nathan of time and yes, it robbed his loved ones of Nathan, but never once did it penetrate his sweet spirit. He stayed true to his bright eyed, cheery, eternally optimistic view of what life was and how to live and love every moment he had. Even as cancer invaded Nathan’s body he chose to see colors brighter, smile bigger and love harder. He exuded kindness and a serenity that, hopefully we can all one day emulate. He left an almost tangible impression on the hearts of all who loved him, and on July 24th his family and his best friends will celebrate his life the way he would have wanted, with an extravagant party! All event proceeds will support innovative NET research through the NET Research Foundation in Nathan’s loving honor.
