Rest in love Nathan. You had a lovely send off today, a bit of a Wellington icon and part of the community.
Much love Emma and family, so sorry about Nathan. Pray God's comfort and protection in this difficult time and season. Rip Nathan!
I met Nathan at kenepuru hospital. He loved his metal and loved to ask me "got any cds or dvds" often i would bring him something or he would ask "got any raro" i'd bring him some and he always said thank you to me and appreciated when i would remember him. He would often ask about the weather even when Emma set up a whiteboard for him stating how many ciggies, cokes raros and the days and weather forecast, he had the nurses busy :D He sure made the boring hospital days less morbid. His smile light up his whole face like it was in the Sunshine and his sparkling eyes. Emma you are a wonderful sister. Nathan i'm going to miss you buddy \m/ Selena
