Genesis 22:1: “. . . for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.”

Nathaniel’s family wishes to express their profound gratitude to the doctors and nurses in the Ohio State University NICU Unit for their valuing of human life, no matter how small, and their tireless commitment to giving Nathaniel’s family precious hours with him. 

A private service for family and close friends will be held, with Pastor Doug Boquist officiating.  Burial will follow in Greenlawn Cemetery, Wapakoneta.  A memorial fund has been established in Nathaniel’s name to cover medical expenses.  Donations can be made at Superior Credit Union.  Any remaining funds will be donated to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Ohio State University Medical Center.  The family has entrusted Schlosser Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Wapakoneta with the arrangements.  Condolences may be expressed at www.schlosserfuneralhome.com.
