Nataniel Diaz fundraiser for funeral costs

On May 3rd, 2022 our beloved Nataniel "Nat" Diaz was taken from us unexpectedly. Please help his family lighten the burden of funeral & memorial costs during this extremely difficult time.

 

Nat was beloved by his mother Olga, sister Natalie, his Mima, and his Pipo. He lived for their pride in him and his inherited, Pipo-instilled, pride for his Yankees -- never missed a game! His family meant the world to him and was his foundation. Nat and Natalie, and their favorite cousins Cristina and Marlena grew up together and were inseparable. Their childhood memories of beach days, sleepovers, pulling all-nighters playing video games, laughing, and doctoring up different plans for making sure they were always having a great time, will always be cherished and never forgotten.

 

He was a loving son, grandson, brother, nephew and friend that was loved by all in return! His wild yet brilliant imagination allowed his sister and him to build forts and travel the world from their bedroom; His compassionate soul adopted dogs and cats to make them a part of his family; While his confident and competitive nature allowed him to excel both in academics and athletics -- a true student athlete. These characteristics were just a part of what made Nat who he was, however, it was his humor, his leadership, and innovation that brought us all together.

 

Among Nat's friends, he was the fearless leader in all aspects of those words. He brought friends together and kept them together. From sports to video games to simply hanging on good ol' 50th street. "The Tables" at The Buildings" was a safe haven, a place that allowed them to be kids, be safe, and stay out of trouble but also have their fair share of fun. Nat had a mind like no other that could whip up some quick math, put together a whole sports schedule with multiple teams and time slots, but he also had the ability to enforce it. All his friends respected him, loved him, and, most importantly, trusted him in a way few others could pull off. He was a leader and inspired to always be and stay together. He was the West New York "Dominic Toretto". His friends were family and they all knew it because he never let them forget it.

 

Nat - we will miss you forever but you will live on in the beautiful memories that will never be forgotten!
