Nat had a big heart.  When it came to giving to his family, friends and community, he was ready to give even to people he didn't know.  He was a devoted Tidehaven Tigers fan, always following and supporting his nieces, nephews and kids whom he knew from his community.  He will be missed tremendously by his family and friends.  Nat was a die-hard Cowboys fan and at the same time, a devoted Astros fan.
