Nathanial John Burgess

Nathanial John Burgess

My name is Nathanial John Burgess. On June 05, 2026, I became a forever memory to those who love me. I was 11 years old, just 13 days shy of my 12th birthday.

I was born on June 18, 2014, in Lima to my parents, Brent and Kathlene (Miller) Burgess, and both my parents live in Lima. I was welcomed home by five siblings: Makaya, Hunter, Victoria, Klair, Karley and my bonus brother, Jamal. I absolutely adored the way my nephew, Jason, and my niece, Athena, lit up with big smiles when they saw me. I’m the favorite grandchild to Grandpa Tim and Grandma Sharon, and absolutely the favorite nephew to my Aunt Brenda and Uncle Jason. I have a huge family of great-aunts, uncles, and cousins. To list them all would be a big task and take up a lot of paper.

I just finished 6th grade at Elida Middle School, ugh. I would’ve quit school in second grade if Mom and Dad would’ve said yes. I dabbled in sports and band, but really enjoyed Roblox and riding my dirt bike more. This past year, I found my best friend, DeShawn, and we spent hours exploring and riding bikes. I was a soft-spoken, easy-going, low-key, chivalrous old soul. With that being said, my siblings better say, “excuse me,” within a millisecond of burping or farting. I WILL BE WATCHING! I know I am loved and will be forever missed, until you see me again: Your handsome boy……..Nate
