Nathan Alaska Threet died Sunday, May 7, 2023.
Nathan was born in Orem, Utah January 30, 1985, and has lived in Midland, Michigan since he was two years old. Nate loved learning and was an avid reader. He was attending Northwood University and was on the President’s list.
Nate was always quick to help his friends and family whenever there was a need. He was fiercely loyal to those he cared about. Some found him annoying, much to his liking, but he was loved by anyone who got to know the guy under the off-putting antics. Nate was a volunteer firefighter for several years and loved it. He was especially beloved by his nieces and nephews, who had so many fun outings to his house to play with his doggies, target shoot at his backyard range, ride his 4-wheeler, and try out his flame thrower.
Nate had a strong love for doggies and kitties, whom he termed "floofies". He loved ALL the floofies. Nate served in the army right out of high school, serving our country overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was so very loud, especially when sharing jokes- some funny, some downright terrible. The more terrible the joke, the more it amused him, and he would laugh so loud and so hard.
Nate is survived by his parents, Toby and Karma Threet, siblings Anthony (Jennifer) Threet, Katee (Cory) Baldwin, Krystee (Ryan) Keyes, Kendra (Brandon) Wood, and Jonathan Threet, plus nieces and nephews Dominik, Alexa, Sam, Madeline (with whom he shared a special bond), Max, Elliot, Claire, Alexander, Rowan, Desmond, Andrew, Lianna, and Meredith, and of course his floofies, Kitty Baby and Dummy.
Nate will be missed terribly for his larger-than-life personality and generous heart.
Funeral services will be held 3PM Saturday May 13, with visitation starting at 2pm. Services will be at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (corner of Eastman and Sugnet in Midland). Burial will follow in the Lee Township Cemetery.
The family is being served by the Barden Funeral Home in Ithaca. Condolences may be left for the family online at www.bardenfuneralhome.com.
