I know this is not a 5th gen related topic but I also know that a lot of folks don't visit other sections of this forum... I wanted to share this from the off topic thread.... Lets get together as a community and show support for Nate's family

Hello everyone, this is 02_SE_Runner(Nate) Dad. As most know, that our son has passed away. Please help us continue his dream to help others. Thank you.

Our son, Nathan, was diagnosed with an autoimmune blood disease-ALPS
(Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome) in 2009, when he was 13 years of age.
As his disease progressed, he's been hospitalized more and more frequently due
to multiple infections (from hemorrhagic nose bleeds, skin abscesses to neutropenic fevers-just to name a
few) and needing multiple blood transfusions a week. He led a life of isolation and seclusion from families and friends. This disease prevented him from attending conventional school, any contact sports, and hanging out with friends. Our son was deprived from the usual teenage life. He had fought very courageously throughout all chemotherapy treatments and trial drugs, especially during his bone marrow transplant.
And yet, that didn't stop him from dreaming and hoping that someday he will be able to contribute and make a difference to every children who's experiencing any kind of diseases. He was very warm, kind, loving, optimistic, respectful, courageous, and gentleman ways will forever be remembered by those that surrounded him. He was a special young man who inspired many.
This page is to honor and support his legacy.
He became one of God's angels on July 8th. Please help us to keep this dream alive.
We would like to continue Nathan's dreams of helping children with ALPS and
their families cope and send aid in times of needs. Any support will make this
dream much closer to reality for him and other children in need.

Thank you,
Laine Lucas (mother)

To Nate's (02_SE_Runner) mom and dad...

I am incredibly moved to learn of the very recent loss of your son 'Nate'. Apparently, We'd both joined this forum community at approximately the same time, in the spring of 2012; not quite sure if we shared in any 'rousing debates' over one particular topic or another round here though. Mr and Mrs. Lucas... I have no children so I won't pretend to understand exactly how you feel today, however...

I am not a stranger to heart brokenness, loss and even 'despair' at times as I've buried both of my parents, my mother-in-law, and most recently... my brother (NYPD Police officer) to advanced stage cancer, Jan 24, 2013; just four months after we buried my mother-in-law. My Heart, (and prayers) go out to you "Mrs. Lucas" (mom), and your entire family as they struggle to find comfort, peace, and laughter in their hearts, once again during this extremely unsettling time of grief/healing.

PS: To [MENTION=75328]DannyLlama[/MENTION],

Thank you sooo much for exemplifying and sharing such a generous portion of compassion, vulnerability and diligence here during this painful time. I've never spoken with Nate so I suspect that these/my tears falling now... are for those that He must leave behind; my prayers go out to the family (God give comfort!).

Greg, (rigtec)
