Nathanael was proceeded in death by his maternal grandmother Evelyn Cline of Peterstown WV, paternal grandmother Peggy Rose of Bluefield Va, and his stepfather Gary P Fischer of Troutville VA.
Nathanael was a 2023 graduate of Lord Botetourt High School.
Nathanael came into this world with many physical limitations but that didn't prevent him from having a full happy life. He learned to do normal things in a not so normal way. He did them the “Nathanael” way. But the thing is, he always found a way. He encouraged others to do the same.
He loved people! He loved monster trucks and football. He rolled through life to the sounds of “Bad to the Bone” and “Life is a Highway “.
Equipped with a smile that could warm the ocean and a caring heart that could melt the glaciers. His laughter was contagious.
Through all of his physical challenges, he never complained. He shared with those around him persistence, love, determination, compassion, humor, and his love of Jesus.

The tremendous outpouring of love from those that knew him is a testimony to the gift he was to us all. His life MATTERED so very much!
Though he will be missed beyond measure, we rejoice that he has entered eternal life with Jesus, and he is running and laughing and singing in his new heavenly body, free of his earthly constraints.
