Mr. Nathaniel "Nate" Newton

Nathaniel “Nate” Dean Newton, 31, passed away suddenly at his home on Tuesday December 12th, 2017 in Lanesborough Massachusetts. Nate was born November 7th, 1986 in Pittsfield MA. He graduated from Mount Greylock Regional High School in Williamstown, MA. From there he attended Berkshire Community college and went on to earn a degree in Civil Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2009. Nate was compassionate, kind and loving. He enjoyed hiking, golfing, summers at the Saratoga race track and winters snowboarding in Vermont. He was a skilled artist and an incredible cook; it gave him great joy to share his creations with others. He had an inspiring sense of spontaneity. Nate's mature understanding of life and tireless work ethic are rare to find. He was always the brightest spirit in the room, the glow in his face along with his contagious laughter would bring a smile to anyone. His ability to warm your heart when you needed it most will be missed by many. Nate was an incredibly strong person; however, he battled with an addiction that in the end overcame him. While this addiction did not define him, it did rob the world of a beautiful soul. Nate always wanted to help others. If telling the story of his loss could save one life he would want his story told. Although his life was cut far too short; the impact he had on so many people will live on forever. Nate is survived by his father Glenn Newton and mother Annemarie Viner-Garland, his sister Erica Newton, grandparents Jacqueline Shaughnessy and Alfred Viner as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and life-long friends. He was also preceded by grandparents Dean and Judith Newton. Funeral Notice: Funeral services for Mr. Nathaniel “Nate” D.
