Support for the Baalmans

Nathen Baalman lived his life with such authenticity, that to know him was to feel so fully free and alive.

He was an absolute gift in this world, and it is with such heaviness that we sit in knowing he is no longer here.

As we grieve, let us please provide support to his mom, grandmother, brother and family, as they navigate this immensely difficult time. Proceeds will go directly to the family to support in whatever ways they need.

Nathen shared once that these words from A Tale of Two Cities gave him guidance and a sense of calm. I hope they leave you with the same.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." - Charles Dickens

Take good care of each other.
