Help Honor Nathan Landes' Memory

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Scott Taylor. My nephew, Nathan Landes, unexpectedly passed away on Sunday, November 17, 2024.

Nathan was a true treasure to all of us and will be greatly missed.

As many of you know, the costs of funerals can get really expensive. This GoFundMe campaign is being put together to help Nathan's mom, Lynn, have the funds to pay for the funeral expenses. Also, any extra funds will be used to pay for a grave marker.

On behalf of Lynn, anything you can contribute will be greatly appreciated. Please take a moment to read Nathan's obituary below.

Again, thank you so much for your generosity.

Nathan loved the Lord and enjoyed enthusiastically participating in the worship and activities of North Street Community Church in Canton, PA, where he was known and beloved by many.

Nathan's favorite activities included playing games, watching movies (especially Star Wars), doing puzzles, and learning presidential facts. He could answer almost any trivia question someone could come up with about the presidents. He enjoyed participating in Action Quest, where he played baseball among other activities.
