Emil Kapaun, on your way
to Sainthood, pray for
Nathan.  Pray for his
4 sons who have lost their
father.

Friends said that Nathan put his family first, that he was a good Dad to his kids and that he was a generous man. Others said that he was hard working and never mean-mouthed anybody. 

Nathan leaves behind many loving friends and relatives including his wife, Rachel, and his four sons, whose names he had tattooed on his body. 

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