Hi, my name is Austyn Nash. On December 1, 2025, Tom Nash, a beloved father of three, unexpectedly passed away from melanoma at the age of 56. With this significant loss, our family is heartbroken, navigating this new reality that we never imagined we would be facing so soon.

Tom was a proud father, caring sibling, and son, a devoted Christian, and had a deep love of adventure and the outdoors with his family and friends from across the states. Whether he was hiking, fishing, portaging through the great Boundary Waters of Minnesota, or simply leaving the concrete jungle to breathe in the fresh wilderness air, he found joy in nature. He shared that passion with everyone who knew him. He was the strongest man I've met- always putting others first, even through his illness.

His passing came suddenly, and with it, our family has been overwhelmed by the significant medical and hospital bills from his ICU stay and treatments. While honoring his memory, we are also raising funds to cover his personal responsibilities that he left behind.

We humbly ask for support during this trying time. Any contribution- no matter the amount- will aid us and help us give Tom the farewell he deserves and allow us to settle the remaining expenses that have fallen on our family.

Thank you for taking the time to read his story and for your kindness and support. No words can describe how challenging this process is, but also how to express my gratitude.
