Our brave boy, "Our Nathan," the Super Hero laid down his sword after a six-year battle with cancer on Jan. 6, 2022, at home with his family by his side.

He was born July 16, 2013, and in 8 years, he taught us more about life, love and trust in others and faith.

For those who had the privilege to know him, know that he had the final say and some of his last words were "I'm ready to go to Heaven." Our sweet boy won his battle and will forever be our guardian angel.

Nathan had a smile that could light up a room and even on his worst days he tried to make others feel better.

He leaves behind a legacy. Nathan has touched the local community and the world with his determination, love of life, and his drive to live everyday. He has given others a reason to fight and stay strong while making us laugh with his goofy antics.

He will be sadly missed by his loving parents, Jeffrey and Patricia Gray; the bravest big brother, Jeffrey, 10; and the love of his life, his little sister, Natalie, 6. His grandparents John and Patricia Singer, Wilkes Barre; Jeff and Sandra Gray, Upperco Md.; two great-grandmothers, Gwen Singer and Lucille Schuetz, both of Wilkes-Barre; many aunts, uncles and cousins who loved him dearly, especially Auria Singer, 3, who looked up to him and he adored with all his heart.

He certainly had a beautiful heavenly reunion with his Bes Nonna, Claudia Lombardo and is most likely going round for round with his namesake, Wendel, as neither of them was always right but they were never wrong.

Nathan was in third grade at St. Nicholas St. Mary's school and not only leaves behind a school, but a community within itself, who loved him dearly and has left many tiny hearts broken into pieces. SNSM family, we thank you for the friendships and the strength the whole family needed over the years.

A special thank you to Liz and Michelle from Hospice of the Sacred Heart, the hundreds of nurses, the doctors at Geisinger, CHOP and Sloan who loved our boy like their own. And to everyone who held our hands over the last six years.

May Nathan eternally be running, playing and swimming like any 8 year old deserves.
