One of my cherished memories of Nathan was when he went with Hayley, Seth, Caleb and me on a fishing trip to U.P. of Michigan. He had just gotten his driver’s license and I asked him to help me drive – he thought about that for about 5 seconds and said ‘sure, I’ll go!’ I am so glad we had that time together. Bob Koval
My darling Jonsey, I wish you were here to see how many people love you and care for you. The outpouring of support from our family, our friends, and the community has been unimaginable. You were loved and admired by so many… especially me and your baby girl. While life will never be the same without you, my love, the God whose presence you are relishing in is sustaining those of us you have left behind. He has been my strength and my song, my fortress in troubled times, my grace, my redeemer, my refuge during the darkest hours of the past few days. Although the memories are all that are left, I am eternally thankful to God that we have so many amazing ones together as a couple and as a family. Your wit, your humor, your integrity, your smile, and your compassion are all things that those of us who love you will hold dear to our hearts. Your Laylah sends you her love and kisses. I miss you more than words are able to describe. Save a place for me by you in heaven, I can’t wait to see you there. Hugs and kisses, Your Honeybee
I have too many memories to narrow down to this wall. Some of my memories of Nathan will be his sense of humor. He could make anyone smile. Also, Nathan was someone that you could ask anything of and it would be done and done well. Probably what I will remember the most is the way he look at his precious Laylah. From the moment of her birth he was smitten with her and so very proud of her. My life has been blessed because of knowing Nathan. I will miss him greatly!
Carol & Lowell & Family…I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Nathans passing. I remember watching him, Paul and Leslie as kids. He was a good kid then and I am sure he was a great adult..I hadn’t seen him in quite awhile. I will not be able to make it to pay my respects but I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Trela Overpeck White and Family
We met 1 year ago and became instant buddies at work. Your smile and sense of humor was always a highlight In my day. Wish I could have just one more laugh or hug from you. Guess I we will laugh together again when i make it to heaven. Rest in peace my dear friend!!!!
I also worked with Nate. He was a great guy, one who always made you laugh. You will be missed.
Although only having met Nate briefly on their visit to Cape Town, his love for his family was so clear for all to see. Our hearts and prayers go out to Amy and Laylah. Grant, Debbie and Tracey
Nate was a good person and a joy to be around. He will be missed by many, myself included. My heart goes out to his family in this time of grief.
Nate was a wonderful husband to Amy and an adoring dad to Laylah – Amy and family, you are in our thoughts and prayers through this heartbreaking time. Nothing we say can ease your pain but we are thinking of you.xxxx Aunty Fil, Uncle Neil and Shaun
It has been a long time buddy. I am sorry we never got back in touch.
Dear Carol, I remember you from BSF. My daughter, Lyndie is the same age as Nathan so I recognized his name immediately. I can’t imagine your loss! Please accept my condolences. Your friend in Christ, Peggy Shirar
We first met Nathan when we as a family came to Mooresville, Indiana to witness his wedding to our niece Amy. We were so pleased to be able to share in their joy. Amy, Megan and Gavin were the extension of our family when we all lived in Cyprus. In age, Amy and Megan slotted between our Andrew and Marcus and were the close sisters that our boys never had. So coming to Amy’s wedding was like coming to our own daughter’s. There was no doubt that Amy and Nathan based their marriage on the Rock Jesus! Nathan was quiet but strong, humorous but serious, loving and devoted first to his God and then to his wife and later to his daughter as well. He had a cheeky smile and fun facial expressions. Though since their wedding our paths only crossed once in the 7 years that followed, I would say I knew a lot of Amy and Nathan’s life from their facebook profiles. Amy is a very transparent person and shared her joys and grief on facebook. Our life is a journey and the Lord allows us to cross paths with many some for a brief moment, others for a short while and others for a lifetime. I am so thankful that the Lord allowed Nathan to be a part of our lives for as long as he did. Now we cherish the memories and thank the Lord for Nathan’s brief life on this earth and the impact that he left on the lives of others around him. Derek and I send our sincere condolences to all the Jones and Khoury families. May the Lord fill Nathan’s void with His own Dear Presence. Derek and Andree Knell writing from United Arab Emirates

Lowell and Carol, We are so sorry for your loss. Time and miles can’t seperate family, you are always in our hearts and prayers. Jacky (Maxwell), Danielle & Skye
One of my favorite memories of Nate is of him playing a part in one of our church musicals. He was playing the part of a nerdy kid on roller skates being a server at a restaurant. He really got into the part and was hilarious! I dont even remember what the name of the musical was, but i remember having a great time practicing and performing with him. Nate you are loved and missed buddy!
‘For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.’ Romans 8:38–39. The entire Jones family is in our thoughts and prayers.
I worked with Nate. My favorite memories are of him telling stories about his little girl… in his little girl voice. Rest in peace, Nate, you are in Gods hands now. Your family is in all of our prayers.
I remember when Nate took the time to help my son with a drum solo he had during a religious education program. We had just started attending First Baptist and it really made Gage feel welcome. Nate made Gage feel confident that he could play in front of a group of people for the first time.
I also worked with Nate, he was always our go to guy. I guess our Dear Lord felt the same way. you will be missed Mark Hancock
in memory of a loving husband and father. May you rest in peace and be with the Lord forever.
