Nathan leaves behind his wife Vanessa Beyers and his daughter, born on Nov 11, 2010. 

His wife stated that: "Nathan was proud of his job and serving our country. He died doing something he loved and was such a brave person. We just had our first child and Nathan had a chance to visit us when he was home on leave in January. I told him I knew he was going to be a wonderful father. We are going to miss him."

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Nathan R. Beyers is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
