i dont want to make this a sad occasion although i want to pay my respects as well mourn properly for the passing of a solid dude. i know i keep using the term solid dude. but that's exactly what nate was. this dude was the definition of a real dude. i want to celebrate his life rather than dwell on his death. nate was a good dude. i have a lot of of stories about nate. but one that sticks out in my mind was how i became cool with the dude.ive known about nate since the 8th grade playin basketball and just through catholic school functions. i first knew of him through his athletic accolades. if you know him you know why. at the time he was taller than me and i thought he was the biggest dude around
( as i got older i grew taller than him, but i still felt he was the biggest dude around) but anyway, i can remeber going into highschool and one of the first people i became cool with was Nate. he was cool with one of my best friend from elementary school and another one of my best friends becasue they all stayed in south Hayward. i can remember Nate and my homie manny would walk home from moreau together after school.
i knew he was one of the coolest people at the school. hella laid bac and crackin jokes all the time.
another one of my fondest first memories of nate were from my freshman theology class. that class was off the hook. we had a bunch of funny ass fools in the class and a bunch of my homies too. danny p, martin, anup, nate, a whole bunch of cats. one of my best memories was the project/play we did. i have no i dea what the thing was about right now that was almost 10 years ago but i do know that shit was fun as fuck making. i remember we did a parody of the class we were in Mrs. Armstrongs Theology, and danny was mrs. armstrong, martin was mr. sanchez and nate played some of the students in class. i can remember nate wwas off the hook funny, because of his charisma and his swag and the fact that he was this big football cat, it was easy for him to make people laugh.
nate was one of the funniest people you could meet. he was hella nice and didnt give a fuck what people said and he didnt compromise his morals to go along with what was popular. he was his own dude and it is sad to see a real one like that go. he will not be forgotten.
if you have any memories please leave a comment and share. these are some of mine but i know everyone has some special ones that will always be remembered. so please leave a comment and share your memories. we will not let our brother leaave in vain
god bless

Nate was a real man. definitely be missed. my love goes out to all his family and friends
nate was one of my good friends in high school. i was always drivin him around cuz i got my liscense before him. everyone just felt safe with nate. he was the big guy with the best personality. he was hilarious!!
i remember when he would always tell me that i was his favorite from all the girls, then i would hear him tell every other girl the same thing, but while he would give them a hug and their backs were turned he would tell me i was really it..
and who can forget the infamous "blazin in the MCHS lockeroon??" that had to be my friends..
one of my last memories was when he came to my surprise bday parties and he also kicked it at my house just chillen and havin a good time.
I can also remember goin to the liquor store by moreau and nate went inside for a second and some people from school were gettin into it and all nate does is walk outta the store lookin to see what was goin on and one look at nate and everyone just stopped, and left.
I did not know one person that had anything remotely bad to say about nate. he was a real man. too bad he had to go too early.. he was love by all and will be missed..
my condolences go out to he family and all the lives he touched.
