Nathan James Henderson

Nathan Henderson, 31, passed away on December 29, 2024 following a short illness. He was born on November 22, 1993 in Provo, Utah, the son of Mark and Kim (Strople) Henderson.

Nathan touched the hearts of many throughout his years through his quiet love and example. His smile melted hearts. He attended Appleton East High School and graduated from Page High School in Franklin, TN. He loved music, anything Disney and the outdoors. But most of all he loved spending time with family and his three nieces. He participated in many wonderful programs through the years offered by the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin, Gigi’s Playhouse of Nashville, Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee and Challenger Baseball to name a few.

Nathan is survived by his parents and his sister Kristin (Tanner) Robinson of Neenah, WI and his three nieces Caroline, Audrey, and Mia. Nathan was preceded in death by his grandparents Jim and Sue Henderson of  Evanston, WY and Joe Strople of San Jose, CA.
