Rest in Peace, 480sx.. Our brother and friend.

A General Discussion forum for cars and other topics, and a great place to introduce yourself if you are new to NICO!

RIP Nate.

He was a huge part of NICO and will be sorely missed!

This should serve a reminder to all of us about how fragile life is.. How easily it can be taken from us, and how we should treat each other better because you never know when you or another person might be taken from us.

It's a sad day!

I did have the pleasure of actually meeting Nate and his father on a drive up through my neck of the woods and conducted some business with him. Very good person, and kind hearted. Always had good intentions with everything he ever did. Very knowledgeable guy who would have helped anyone.

R.I.P. My brother.

He talked about you and your father on one of his last post to KA-T.org My eyes watered earlier today thinking about the posible loss of a loved one (and are now thinking about it again). I am extremely saddened for your loss, I don’t know but assume you are his brother. Comfort your/his parents, they will need it.

[quote=""480sx""]God i love a duel sport / motard setups. I grew up on dirt bikes, and daily drive mine as much as possible. Im partial to Yamaha myself, i have a DRZ 400. My dads got a 09 DRZ 400SM, thing is SICK. I still like the knobby skinnies tho.. My brother has a strait Motard setup, conversion with new forks and swing arms to compensate SM tires. Bored out to a 500 something, nice bike.[/quote]

I do not post much on here, or on KA-T.org much. I typically read information and study things on these forums. With that being said, 480SX was a major contribution to that. I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm thinking about you and your family and I hope that you all may find peace within time. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

I've read hundreds of posts from Nate on here and KA-T.org...he was knowledgeable, helpful to NOOB's, always honest and just the perfect person to have in an online community. I never knew him personally, but I felt like I could have since he never put up a "cover" online and was always genuine.

Definitely will be missed!

When you join NICO, 480sx(Nate) is the type of person you hope to meet. He will be missed. The KA-T forum just won't be the same.

It's hard to believe he's gone. I knew him quite well from the Politics section and had some good debates with him. I can't say I totally agreed with him on everything but it is the heart that matters and from all appearances he had a good heart.

RIP Nate

It's terrible news to wake up one morning not knowing that you've lost a friend or family member. Either way I'm so sorry for your loss. Like many, I didn't know him personally, but he was very knowlegable and just a great guy. My most sincere condolences for his family and many friends.

R.I.P Nate

My bro in the Nissans.

Anyone that wants to learn KA-T will run past his posts. His voice will be heard and referenced by KA fans in NICO for a long time! Great info, it has helped me a lot and it is a sad loss.
