Honoring Neff Nash: We Need Help

Around 7:00pm on Thursday night, March 5th 2020, Pat Neff Nash Jr. was found by his daughter, Madi Nash, deceased. The cause of death is unknown and extremely unexpected. Our father, Neff was an incredible coach, passionate fan, thoughtful friend but most importantly the greatest loving, real and compassionate dad three young daughters could have ever asked for. If you knew him, you would know how intelligent and stubborn he was at times but one thing was certain, his world revolved around his three daughters. Twins,19, Abigale Arena and Madeleine Marina, and first born, 21, Morgan Makaira are heartbroken beyond belief. His former wife and mother of his children, Suzanne Nash, is imaginably overwhelmed with the responsibility of being a now single parent of three daughters going through college and grieving the loss of their father so unexpectedly. Our father had no life insurance and struggled financially but was looking into becoming more financially stable before his passing. We are still all in shock. Our grieving feels rushed because of the need to take care of his cremation, funeral costs, and trying to return to normal life with now an even smaller income. Unfortunately, financial responsibility has gotten in the way of our mourning.

The Nash Family humbly asks for financial help to lay our father to rest and try to get back on our feet. Because his daughters are all collegiate athletes trying to maintain high GPA's we struggle to find time to become employed. This is hard for all of us and any financial contributions would be appreciated along with prayers.

We would like to honor our father with a celebration of life on either the 15th or16th of March. We will be updating about this as soon as we have a better idea of what we can do. We all thank you for the overwhelming support and love we are receiving.

Feel free to leave stories, memories and other snippets of the impact Neff had on your lives in the comments.
