Nathan Hawthorne

Hi everyone,

I am reaching out with a heavy heart to help Narelle and the children begin a new chapter after Nath has taken his final journey. Nath was truly a remarkable human being and the perfect embodiment of the saying "the good die young." After courageously facing his long and difficult battle with cancer, Nath can finally rest. He fought with incredible strength until the end. We will miss your presence, your knowledge and humor.

Nath was the go to guy, whether you were struggling with a stupid electrical bug in your car, a stubborn truck problem, or a part no one could find, he invariably possessed the perfect solution—either knowing precisely which guy to call or identifying the exact part needed to resolve dumb issue.

With selfless dedication, Nath would devote countless hours to fixing even the most trivial issues, often sacrificing precious moments with his family to ensure others' problems were solved, at times his generosity knew no bounds.

Nath's passion for local soccer when he was well was legendary—he wasn't merely volunteer but a driving force behind the rise of the Oran Park Rovers to their current standing. His unwavering commitment and countless hours of service created a lasting legacy that extends far beyond the new felids and club house. Without his extraordinary leadership and sacrificial investment of time, his friends ,myself and the soccer club would have been poorer for his absence.

As a result of his illness and his selfless dedication to helping everyone, ultimately without asking for compensation and purely out of the goodness of his heart, both his business and family home were tragically lost. This devastating turn of events left my beautiful sister and her children with nothing but memories and heartache. This fundraiser is the only meaningful way I feel I can support them through their profound loss and help them rebuild what was taken too soon.

Brother, your generous spirit and loving memory will forever continue to guide us forward, illuminating our path even in the darkest of times.
