No words can convey enough sympathy and sorrow, but I want to share that my earliest memory of Nathan's mom Janet when we worked together was her telling me cute and funny stories about Nathan. When I met him as a very young boy he looked exactly how I pictured him - adorable and energetic with a sweet smile and definite twinkle in his eye. I know he was surrounded by love and always will be.

I would like to share my deepest condolences to the Pickos family. Nathan was an amazing friend who will be dearly missed. I would like to share some insight and thoughts into the type of person Nathan was as I had the special privilege to grow up alongside Him. Nathan was always on the pursuit of the next big adventure, from late night explorations of the Kenosha Sand Dunes, to pushing his group of close friends to reach new heights on the towering Petenwell & Castle Rock Bluffs in Upper Wisconsin. Nathan was courageous in leadership and a dedicated friend, he would always check with everyone individually to ensure all those in the group could have a say on what we would do, or go. I can speak with confidence in saying that Zach, Josh, Damion and I would have missed out on so many experiences if it wasn't for the Nathan pushing us to reach them. I will never forget the endless encouragement that Nathan would give during any time of uncertainty in our abilities, most notably for me, helping me find my courage to jump from a small island mountain into a lake! Nathan, to say you were an amazing friend would be an understatement. You were a true inspiration and I will never forget the lessons you have taught me. Whenever I find myself beginning to question my thoughts, I remember your works of encouragement. May you rest in peace.

I would like to express my sincere condolences for the loss of your dearly loved Nathan. Finding words to comfort you in this moment is a very near to impossible thing to do. Please know the Bible is a great source of support during times like this. May the “God of everlasting comfort and good hope” (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17) strengthen you in the days to come and may He give you peace. (Romans 15:33 and Acts 24:15)

My sincere condolences to the family of Nathan Pickos. During this extremely difficult time, may family, friends and your faith bring you comfort. Psalms 147:3 says that “God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds”. He also promises to remedy the pain we feel at this time by the resurrection (Acts 24:15).

I remember Nathan well from his time at Southport Elementary. I loved this kid who I am sure was a good man as he had a good and loving heart. I am grateful for the time I got to spend with him and know the loss to all who love him is such a tragic burden I wish I could lift. I hope love will surround you and give you some peace and that memories of him will eventually bring more smiles than tears. My thoughts, love, and prayers are being sent to the Pickos family today and always. Saunnie
