In honor of Nathaniel Eaton

June 8, 1993- April 11, 2025

In memory of Nathaniel and all the light he brought to so many in our communities, we’re asking to come together to keep that light shining—especially for the person who meant the world to him: his five-year-old son, Henry.

Nathaniel had away of making people feel seen, and gave kindness away generously.

Now, we have the opportunity to give back by supporting Henry as he navigates life without his dad.

One special way these funds would be used to help Henry finish something they began together: a treehouse. It was their shared project, a symbol of their bond, and a place full of dreams. Henry wants to complete the treehouse with his grandfather, Bill, that he started building side by side with his dad. With the strength of the community, we believe we can make that happen—and so much more.

Let’s honor Nathaniel by rallying around Henry with love, light, and support like his dad gave to so many. Let’s help him know he has these communities, and let’s help build not just a treehouse, but a lasting memory of his father’s love.

All funds will go directly to Henry, supporting his needs in the wake of this profound loss—including access to appropriate grief counseling, educational opportunities, and resources to help ensure he has a bright, supported future after losing his father.

Donations to contribute to the Eaton family to help with associated burial and funeral costs can be made at the First National Bank in Blue Hill: Nathaniel Eaton Fund.
