Nathaniel W. Riegel

26 sadly passed away August 12, 2020 after a hellacious fight to overcome a brain injury. A celebration of life will be held post Covid restrictions. Nate was born January 24, 1994, the son of Jessica and Wayne Keith and Ranell Duncan. He left behind his daughter Olivia whom he called shug, her mom Bree and His beautiful life partner Mariah Vining, her son Dominic & unborn baby which he was over the moon excited about due February 21, 2021. With an amazing blended family comes an abundance of love. Heartbroken over his passing are his siblings Symone, Lilly, Whitney, Tanner, Miranda Alicia, Jacob, Lawrence and Johnny. He was incredibly proud to be your brother and deeply loved you all!! Also Missing our Nate are Great grand parents John and Mary Lu Nortrup. Grandparents Keith W. Riegel, Evangelist Larrie Ann Jordan, Pam and Wade Countryman, Tony and Dottie Jezek, Wayne and Donna Keith, Homer and Mary Blummenschein. His aunt Jen will especially miss her practice kid. Nate was known by many people, and remembered by everyone he came in contact with. He always wanted to make a mark on people who needed help in any aspect in life. He had words that could move mountains, and he did just that; made positive impacts. Judging him by his large appearance, and unruly dreadlocks would be misleading. He was the kindest soul, who’s smile could light up even the saddest rooms of people, his energy radiated and his infectious goofy laugh following the smile was sure to make anyone belly laugh right along with him, whether you knew what you were laughing about or not. Nate was a man that wanted to travel the world and would do anything to have that split second of freedom with Nature and beautiful views. He absolutely loved the mountains. Nate absolutely loved spending time with his closest friends they we’re his family. He was their protector, the giver of good vibes and uplifting words via #guappsays. Nate was a lover of anything outdoors. He loved evening walks with Mariah & kiddos, watching birds with his momma, fishing for anything that would bite, long boarding, hiking, kayaking and boating just to name a few. Thank you to everyone who sent healing vibes or prayed for him while he fought. I will always believe in you-Mom. Cremation Arrangements by Journey Cremations.
