When Nathan came to live in Granger with his grandparents, he wanted nothing more than to just be a kid. He loved his home, Penn High School, his family and his friends. Nathan was a caring, companionate young man who loved people. Nathan got to see it snow for the first time in his life and he was so excited. He also joined the Penn Ski Club and learned how to snowboard. Before Nathan moved to Granger, he spent many summers at his grandparent's cottage at Diamond Lake. He loved wakeboarding, swimming, fishing, sailing, and just laughing and hanging out with his cousins. The Lake Cottage was the place for family and fun and there was plenty of that. And now, as Nathan would say, "It's Hug Time." My Dear Nathan "You will be missed by all!" Donations may be made to the "Nathan Douglas White Scholarship" fund at Penn High School. A memorial service will be held for Nathan at College Park Missionary Church, 2014 Liberty Drive in Mishawaka, IN, on Saturday, April 24th, at 1:00 PM.
