On Saturday September 11, 2021, Nathanael Dove passed away suddenly but peacefully in his 43rd year.
Family and friends are deeply saddened with Nat’s passing and will feel his absence in their lives for many years to come.

He developed close and meaningful relationships with many of his NA brothers and sisters over the years and they were like family. Nathanael had a wonderful sense of humor and a smile that would light up the room.
He had a strong bond with his Lord and Saviour, and we are comforted with the knowledge that he has gone home and is in peace. We cannot express in words the sorrow his death has brought to so many.
