I am heartbroken to share the unexpected and tragic passing Nate Padgett, a loving father, husband and devoted family man.

Nate, who many knew affectionately as “Fat,” lost his life as the result of a senseless road rage incident. He was loving, outspoken, and full of life. He was true go-getter who cared deeply about those around him. Above all, he was an incredible father to his three children Niya, Ty’Darrius, and Ava who meant everything to him.

This devastating loss has left our family grieving and facing an incredibly difficult time. As I prepare to lay Nate to rest, I am asking for support to help cover funeral and memorial expenses, and to help ease the financial burden during this unimaginable time.

Any donation, no matter the amount, is truly appreciated and will go directly toward honoring Nate’s life. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this difficult time.
