Friendships were very important to Nathan. He touched the lives of many people. He was easy going, a loyal friend, had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around.

 
Nathan was a kindhearted and gentle person who had a soft soul and was a loyal friend. He had many passions. Basketball, swimming, outdoor activities such as hiking, flyfishing, and camping were among his favorites.  
He loved working with youth and enjoyed coaching and mentoring youth in swimming and basketball.

Nathan went to Camrose Composite High School where he grew his friendships, his love of sports and his academia. He then went on to the University of Alberta as a varsity swimmer before he moved on to NAIT where he took his Water and Wastewater Technician Certification training. 

He was lucky enough to get a position in his trained field of Water and Wastewater Technician in Grande Cache where the beauty of the mountains and strong sense of community made him fall in love with his newly chosen home and work family. 

He is predeceased by grandfather Ken Saby and grandmother Dawn Clausen. 

He is survived by his parents Tamara and James Saby; sister Sarah Saby; grandmother Lois Saby; grandmother Sandra Clausen; and grandfather Thor Clausen.
