On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, Nathanael Michael Brandt returned to his heavenly home. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Chelsie, and their two beautiful daughters, Paisley (8) and Elina (1).

Nate was a devoted husband, an adoring father, and a friend to all who knew him. He filled his home with warmth through the meals he carefully prepared, the costumes he designed, and the quiet strength he showed every day. He lived with sensitivity, finding joy in nature, literature, family, and his daughters' laughter.

This sudden and unexpected loss has left Chelsie not only grieving but also facing a financial burden. As a widowed mom of two, she now must support her girls while navigating funeral expenses and daily needs.

We are asking for donations to help Chelsie and her daughters during this incredibly difficult time. Every contribution—no matter how small—will go toward easing the weight on their shoulders.

If you would prefer to donate directly, Chelsie’s Venmo is: @chelsie_jade

We are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and all those touched by Nate’s life.

“Even in his darkest times, he found beauty in music, nature, and literature... He understood pain and wanted to help others who were suffering to feel loved and seen and cared for.”

With love and gratitude,

The Brandt & Green Families
