Condolences for
Nathaniel Leslie Ellison

My sincerest condolences to Sharon and family. I have so many fond memories of Nate and the unique (some would say, idiotic) things we used to do. Marathon viewings of the Andy Griffith show, before binge watching was ever invented. One-on-One basketball, where the loser had to run to the others house to get the winner a cold drink (we lived across the street from one another fortunately). Memorizing the opening speech by George C. Scott from the movie "Patton". Nate was always friendly, warm, fun. A terrible loss. So sorry....

Nate was a key part of a close group of high school friends. He came from a fine family. His dad was our Superintendent of Schools. That did not hold Nate back from much. He was comical, provocative, athletic, motivated, clever, and much more. He was our teammate in multiple sports.

He was extremely proud of his family. A terrible loss. Lifelong friends are special. I will miss catching up. It was always a treat.

My sincerest condolences to Sharon and family.

I met Nate in 2015 while interviewing for the Human Resources Manager position in Kentucky. What I noticed initially was, Nate wasn't your ordinary, run of the mill VP of HR. He was different, he was vibrant, truly loved people and mostly he had a passion to make things better. I've worked for many people in HR over my 30+ years in this field...Nate was what I considered one of the best. I am truly sad to hear of his passing, I think the world needed people like Nate in this profession he will be missed...I missed him when he left Transnav.

The entire Ellison family is in my thoughts and prayers...

I have never met Nathaniel, but heard about how great he was from my colleagues. I would like to send my warmest condolences to the family. I have donated to jdrf in his honour. What a great initiative.

My 50 plus year friendship with Nate was a tremendous privilege. So many incredible memories of basketball, high school antics, starting careers, progressing through life, catching up at reunions, learning about Sharon and their family. Nate had an irrepressible sense of humor that made you happy to be around him. He lived life joyfully and enthusiastically. I'm sure he's trying to find a pickup basketball game in Heaven or is talking with John Lennon about some music.
