Lifelong Elma, Washington resident, Nathan “Nate” Edward Anderson, age 36, passed away on April 7, 2020, in Oakville, Washington. Nate was born on Aug. 8, 1983, in Olympia, Washington to Melissa (Cristelli) Anderson and Bruce Anderson. He was raised in Elma and graduated from Elma High School in 2001.

Nate had a kind, gentle heart and was loved by all who knew him. He loved his family, especially his two nephews. He had a one of a kind personality and constantly made people laugh with elaborate sayings. He also enjoyed giving ridiculous nicknames to the people closest to him. Nate will be greatly missed and never forgotten!

He is survived by his mother Melissa, step-father Danny Reinkens, sisters Angela Sanchez (Seth Sego) and Andrea Reinkens (Brad Peckham), nephews Levi and Carson Sanchez, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father Bruce.

A service for Nate is being planned and will be announced in a later edition of The Daily World.
