‘His soul was sunshine’
The Sunflower’s staff says goodbye to a great friend and colleague.
Nathan was one of the first friends I made in college and working at The Sunflower.
I worked on stories with him on several occasions and found myself learning from him time and time again.
I admired the way he could walk up to someone and talk to them like he had known them for years.
He could touch the pulse on someone’s life and pull a beautiful story out of them within minutes of introducing himself.
His love for people and life was enviable, and apparent in everything he did. His soul was sunshine and anyone who met him felt it.
You only meet one Nathan in a lifetime, and I’ll miss him forever.
Jenna Farhat was the news editor of The Sunflower. Farhat majored in creative writing.

I have come to believe that Heaven exists as good memories in the minds of friends. From the comments of the Sunflower staff he was surrounded by good people with good memories. Heaven can be found in one’s lifetime, too. For me, it exists as doing something that fulfills one’s passion, strengthens bonds between like-spirited souls, and allows one to feel as if something was accomplished for the better, day by day — It seems like Nathan succeeded with y’all. When one falls before us we have the duty to carry on for more than ourselves. Pass it on!
