While Nathan lived a majority of his life in Texas, he remained loyal to his hometown, Omaha, as long as he lived. As a child in Omaha, he enjoyed soaking up the attention of his grandparents and all his aunts and uncles. Initially, Nate felt less than thrilled by the arrival of his first sister. But before long he grew to be the big brother that thrived on making both his little sisters laugh.

As a 10 year old, Nate took great pride in his first job delivering the Omaha World Herald. He never had a dog, but would sometimes be followed by the family cat, Tony the Tiger. Nate’s kindness was displayed when he brought home his baby sister on the route with him in the newspaper carrier bag when her little legs gave out. He realized earning his own money was a good thing, and loved having his own TV set and video games for his room. He and his best friend Jake, spent many hours playing and competing. He let his sisters win at Toughman Boxing, but acted impressed anyway.

In 1996 the Ault family moved to Plano, TX. It was a very different community than Omaha and Nate never felt like he fit in to the suburban setting. With ADD and social anxiety, his high school years were unpleasant and lonely. He graduated from Plano Senior High School in 1999. He found refuge in working at Target after school where he could earn money and feel some sense of independence and acceptance.

After high school, Nathan bounced around with different jobs and liked the fast- paced setting of server in the fine dining restaurants. This lifestyle served him well for many years. The highlight of his life came with his two labs, Jasmine and Bronco. Shortly after, he found two stray dogs and added them to his family. Monkey and Little Dog.

Nathan’s father passed away in March 2019. He also lost a long- time friend around that same time who died by suicide. Not really having a career, and with growing social anxiety, Nate’s coping skills started to unravel.

He moved back to Omaha in June 2019. He chose alcohol as his means of coping with stress and pain; financial, emotional, physical, mental. February 2021 became a turning point in his life. He made the decision to go to a 30 day treatment center, get sober and “start over.” He liked it there. The structure, the schedule, the empathy, the nonjudgmental nature of the staff. He was there one week and was exposed to Covid. He went to the hospital March 5 and never came home. This horrible virus ravaged his lungs from which he could not overcome. He died on the same date as his Dad.

Nathan loved singing and playing guitar, and yet he was too self-conscious to ever sing in public. He was a talented writer. He was exceptional at Math and puzzles. He had a gift of using his voice to impersonate many different people. He could make people laugh. He had a huge heart for animals, especially dogs. He was a quiet soft spoken young man; a gentle soul. Sometimes life and its challenges become too big. He was stuck there for many years, but was on the road to recovery. We are all sad he didn’t get the chance to see what could have been. Gone too soon.

Rest in Peace, Nate.

We Love You.
