In 2010, Nathan met and married Ronda Storm and became a loving Stepfather to Devon and Miranda "Ruby" Storm. At this time Nathan took the Storm surname to present family unity and cohesiveness.

Nathan was a life-long learner and seeker of knowledge. He would spend time visiting with people learning about their culture and life experiences, and oftentimes departing words of wisdom to help them in their life's journey.

He truly embraced all forms of love, kindness, forgiveness, and acceptance of all. He made world-wide friends in all cultures and societies with respect.

A "Living Wake" was held over a few days prior to Nathan's passing. On the night of his departure, a private and personal ceremony was held by his family who were present during his transition.
