Nathan Berend

Nathan Berend Passed away unexpectedly on April 28, 2024. Nathan Joseph Berend, fondly known as Nathan, born on July 25, 2000 in Watertown, WI. . He was an adventurous spirit, always seeking the thrill of new places and experiences. His funny and resilient nature shone through in all areas of his life, from his work as an accomplished electrician to his love for remodeling houses, hunting, and working on his truck.

Nathan was a joyous embodiment of love and support for those around him. He had a special bond with his dog, Oden, and his fiance Emily. He cherished his moments with his mother, Tonya Berges, his step-father, John Berges, his father, Matt Berend, his step-brother, Patrick Berges, his brother, Logan Jorgensen, and his step-sister, Isabela Berges. Nathan also held close ties with his sister, Payton Berend, his grandparents, Dennis and Cindy Kurtz, his aunt, Lisa Sellinger, his uncle, Andy Sellinger, and his dear friend, Chrissy Becker. His love for all was evident in everything he did, making everyone feel valued and special.

With his Electrical Journeymen Card/License, Nathan was proud of his career as an electrician, finding satisfaction in solving complex issues and contributing to his community. He had an enduring spirit, which was evident in his ability to relocate from Hartford, Wisconsin to various places in Iowa, including Granger, Ankeny, and finally settling in Dallas Center. His Catholic faith provided him with strength and solace, reminding us of Corinthians 16:14, "Let all that you do be done in love."
