  • Thank you for watching our son, Nate's Honor Walk. Our family has been so inspired by the outpouring of love for Nate and by Nate himself and the support that he offered others, that we started a non-profit, 501c3, in his name called, Nate's Place, A Wellness and Recovery Center.
    Please watch this very short second video to learn a bit more about Nate, how he died, his life and the non-profit: • Video
    If you are so inspired, please also look at our Betterworld fundraising site: natesplace.bet...
    Please become an organ donor to save lives!!!
    Thank you for sharing this with others if you feel inspired to!!
    Warmly,
    The Family and Friends of Nate Rhoades

    I have never cried and sobbed so hard for a complete stranger . Just in this short video I felt all the love that surrounded Nate . It showed me what an amazing young man he must have been. Nate , you're a true hero and you will live on in those you have saved. Much love and prayers to all that knew and loved him xx

This is a beautiful tribute and send off for the organ donor, their families and friends. This young man was deeply respected and loved by many.

He was a good person even giving in death through organ donation. My brother was murdered in 2004 eight days after his 17th birthday. He was on life support for four days before being declared brain dead. We donated his organs . It’s a hard decision but I’m glad we did it as parts of him still live on. I still miss him dearly and although his loss is several years passed now the pain is still there. It does get easier but it never goes away. As difficult as his loss was for me I cannot imagine your pain. My heart and thoughts are with you.

      @@toades54 I am a medevac nurse of 20 plus years and see both sides. The ones that donate and the ones that receive the donations. We often fly patients that can’t be helped anymore. We fly them to hospitals where their loved ones are waiting and you see parents age 30 years within a matter of minutes. Then we transport organs to patients and their families are waiting. You go from one extreme to another. Some have waited years and are at the edge of deaths door. The hope, life and possibilities, the gift your son has given can’t be measured or explained with words. I hope that one day you will meet the people that your baby has saved. It won’t lessen your pain but it will remind you that not everything was in vain. Nathan means “ gift of god” and although you didn’t know when he was given his name how much he would come to be just like his name. He left this world like a true Nathan by giving the gift of god to many. There is absolutely nothing that I can say to parents that have lost their child. Nothing will express the excruciating pain you will feel until you all meet again, Therefore please take my lack of condolences and lack of comforting words as my way of honoring the sacrifice Nathan and all of you have made. He won’t be forgotten and people from all over the world that have never met your son will remember him and your family. You are in my prayers.

Consider yourselves lucky when we watch sad videos of young innocent beautiful souls leaving us too early, and above all when you feel the need to complain about the little things in life that you can overcome unlike this one? Look back at this story and count your blessings.😢.and never forget to pray everyday for your friends, family, strangers and even your enemies..thank god for helping you with your day, helping you sleep and thanking him for waking you up to see another day. And help your neighbor a homeless person or anyone thats struggling cause god will bless you 10 fold.and hes watching us all so do it with a kind heart.. does god exist? Trust what im saying, cause yes he does.. he appeared to me in 1975.

    I was in the OR with an organ donor only once. It was virtually identical to any major operation. The monitoring was different, of course, and the anesthesiologist had less to do.
    The atmosphere was perhaps best described as reverential. Most, perhaps all, seemed to have tears in their eyes. I did. Everyone was very attentive to the patient. I would beg everyone to be organ donors.

I still think about him often him and his Family and friends are in my prayers every night I'm 75 years old and saw many family and friends pass away for all kinds of reasons sickness war accidents old age Nathan's passing has affected me he truly is a special awesome guy and I will never forget him.

      Actually, it is carried personally by an organ carrier. This person does the take over protocol in the hospital and also the handover protocol. It is an extremely fast process with amazing security. In Europe the EEC has a central center that goes through all the people awaiting organs worldwide and they decide the urgency and allot the organs.
      So the process is a bit more than flying in a cockpit with pilots bla bla bla.

    My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to Nate’s loved ones. His friends and family must have been devastated to lose him. Their love for him touched my heart through the screen and brought tears to my eyes. I write this with tears streaming down my face. I am so sorry that his life was cut short. His smile was radiant and beautiful. I pray that his loved ones find peace in knowing that he still lives through the people he helped save. What a hero, what a hero you are Nate. May God bless your soul. ❤
