Sunday evening at 9:45, God called one of his precious children Nathaniel Robert Trask.
By God's grace Nate did not feel any pain the last few days and peacefully returned to his Creator.
Nate was, and will continue to be, an inspiration to more people than he ever knew on earth. Touching the lives of family, friends, communities, children, and strangers, he showed us what true faith looks like. No matter the circumstance God is with us and loves us.
Nate will be greatly missed, but his spirit, courage, faith, laughter, joy, wisdom, and love will remain with us forever.
Thank you to all who have lifted Nate and this family in prayer.
Charley and Bob Trask

Rest in Peace Nate. You were an inspiration to all who knew you. You will be deeply mourned by your friends at Ford.
Much love to your family. Cancer ravaged his body but could not harm his spirit. Rejoice in the presence of your heavenly Father, Nate.

Nate’s journey with us on earth is ended but we will forever hold him in our hearts and by God’s Grace we will be reunited according to God’s plan and design. Our prayers continue for we who grieve, but in our grief we also rejoice for Nate’s life and the love he shared with us all.

Nate has received his crown...and is walking with our Master...exciting times for him, sadness to those left here to mourn....Thank you Jesus for ending his pain...my prayer is for God to hold each of you in His hands as you grieve...
Although I don't know your family personally, I have been reading all of your posts and have prayed for Nate. I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss.
Dearest Family,
He has finished the race and he has kept the faith. He is safely on the other side and we will see him again.
Now our prayers are for you. May the God of all comfort meet you and reveal Himself to you in ways of inexpressible grace and mercy. Our hearts are broken with yours. Deb, I'm claiming the promise of Jeremiah 29:11 for you. We hold you all in love, Gary and Barb Wiemers, McCook
Heaven has a new angel today. I hope you find comfort in knowing that Nate is at peace and walking alongside his heavenly Father. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, his family. Nate's testimony of faith will live on in each of our hearts forever. God Bless You! ~Brianna Davis
We're so sorry, and will be praying for you... Jamie & Kim Bonsall
I don't know you, but have been praying. I know how devastating that loss is even though you know he is in peace now. I lost my husband last summer to cancer and it's been a long journey since then. I will continue to pray for your family.
Strength and peace to you,

I am really sorry for your family's loss. I will keep all of you in my prayers. I know that it isn't fair for him to leave you at such a young age but he is definitely in a much better place now. His testimony is a true inspiration to all of us. God bless.

We will continue to lift you up in prayer. We may not have the right words to say but we know that Nate was an amazing man. We thank God for his life and his courageous example.

I had the misfortune of learning about Nate's illness and death on the same day. Although I hadn't seen Nate in a few years, I am deeply saddened by the news of his passing. I knew Nate through Ford and we played softball together. I will always remember his seemingly effortless home run swings and my amazement at his capacity to fit into his Mazda Miata!
With deepest sympathy,
Sam Amelio
We are so sorry for your loss. We wish your family peace today and for all the tomorrows to come.

Deb and Children, I was so sorry to hear of your loss, and the world's loss, but God's gain. I am glad that Nate is at peace and in the arms of the Lord, he deserves much needed rest. I will continue to keep you and the twins and the rest of the family in my prayers. God Bless, Sherrel L. Adams, McCook
Dear Bob and Dodie,
Susan has had me praying for Nate, and I am so so sorry that you have lost him to this disease. BUT, God is somehow faithful within it all, and I know Nate is held in Jesus' arms because of that faithfulness. We will keep your family, and his, in prayer.
Love, Mary Kay (Harvard)
Deb~ we are thinking of you and the kids during this time. Nate was an inspiration to live each day to the fullest. Thank you for sharing him with us.
Drew and Becky Blaszak
Nate finished the race strong! What a walking testimony to us all! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Nate was an outstanding young man.

My heart breaks as I read the news of Nate's passing. But I too rejoice that God has called him home. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with your family as you mourn. He touched the lives of all who knew him (and some who didn't). I just recently found a photo of Prom '93, he, Sara, Luke and I double dated and went bowling in our formal wear. What wonderful memories I have of him and I will forever remember that beautiful smile of his!

While I am sad that Nate is no longer with us, I rejoice that he his now with Christ. Nate taught me more about being a follower of Christ in the short amount of time I knew him than any other person.
Deb, be assured that there is a community that loves you and is praying for you. Let us know if there is anything we can do.
Dear Deb, Morgan, Landon, Charley & Bob,
Robbie, Ben, Daniel and I are so sorry to hear about Nate's passing. You all have been in our thoughts and prayers for so long. Please take comfort in knowing that Nate is now home with our Heavenly Father. May God bless you and keep you. Deb, if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.

This is heartbreaking. Our prayers will be with you, Deb and your beautiful kids. Nate's life continues on in a place where there are no tears, no pain, no sickness and no more need for hope or faith. His faith has become sight and his hope reality.
Blessed be the name of the Lord. And peace, comfort and grace to Deb, the kids and all of Nate's family. Praying still, Sarah Newlon Pearson
Our family joins your grief. We've been so close in prayer and Nate's name, as is his whole family's, is close to our family's heart. The verses from Chris Tomlin's song echoes through my day thinking of Nate: My chains are gone, I've been set free. My God, my Savior, has ransomed me;And like a flood His mercy rains; Unending love,Amazing grace.
Andrew
We are praying for you and your children daily. May you all experience God's nearness.
