Nathan loved being outdoors and working on his unique diesel vehicles. He loved tinkering around the house, planning their garden, playing outside with his boys, going on dates with his wife and cooking up the next family adventure. Most of all, Nathan loved his family and friends. Spending time with them and making memories was something he truly treasured.
Those who survive carrying on his memory include his wife and children: Sherina, Varian, Abbott and Silas, of Fort Wayne; parents, Timothy and Deborah Collier, of Pierceton; sisters, Leslie (Gary) Basinger, of Churubusco; and Lindsay (Brian) Runkel, of Syracuse; brother, TeJay Collier, of Pierceton; mother-in-law, CeCe Miller, of Fort Wayne; and his beloved dogs, Maude and Phoebee.
