Joe Nathan was one of the best football players and one of the neatest guys I have ever met. He was a gentleman always and had a great sense of humor. We will miss you Joe Nathan and all of the memories made at NHS and Denton.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

Rest in Peace.
