Noriega Family Memorial and Education Fund

Nathian (Nate) Xavier Noriega, age 42, went to be with the Lord surrounded by his family on July 4, 2023, in San Antonio, Texas.

The Noriega Family Memorial and Education Fund is set up to support the Noriega family and to provide educational funds for Nate's three sons.

Nate was born on December 12, 1980, in San Antonio, Texas to Javier Noriega and Perle Reyes and is survived by his loving wife of 12 years Jessica Noriega, and 3 sons, Ethan Xavier, Evan Ryan, and Ever Jude Noriega; father, Javier Noriega, mother, Perle Reyes, step-mother, Yolanda Noriega; sister Melissa and husband Andres Perez, sister Tuyet Noriega; brother, Joseph and wife Candy Ferdin; sister-in-law April and husband Nathan Gonzales and 11 nephews and nieces.

Nate was a loving, caring, compassionate husband, father, brother, and son. He always looked out for others before himself. He loved spending time with his family, playing video games with his boys and nephews & nieces, building with legos, playing Scrabble with his sister, listening to & playing music, solving his numerous rubiks cubes, watching movies, watching “Judge Judy”, and working on the yard/garden. He spent time helping family members who were not electronically savvy. He was such a gifted, talented, clever, quick-witted, and humble man who will be greatly missed. His faith in the Lord remained strong and his unending love & dedication to the Lord will endure through his family. Our hearts are deeply saddened by such a loss but are at peace knowing God has restored and healed his body.

Nate was also a long-time employee of Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), having joined the Institute on November 29, 2004. He served the Institute for nearly 19 years. During his time at SwRI, Nathian was the primary administrator of campus-wide services offered by ITC including Microsoft Exchange, Proofpoint’s SPAM filtering and e-mail encryption, GlobalScape’s EFT and Workspaces, and Active Directory Federation Services.

Please join us in supporting the Noriega family with your prayers and your gifts.

Thanks and God bless!
