Nathan Stanley Haenitsch

With our deepest sorrow, we announce that our cherished son, brother, father, uncle and grandson, Nathan Stanley Haenitsch, 39, of Mesa, Arizona passed away on July 31st, 2024 after a short battle with cancer.

Nathan is survived by his parents William Haenitsch & Lysa (Pfoutz) Haas & Mark Haas, grandparents, Stan and DeLyle Pfoutz from Dixon, IL, and  Vi (Haenitsch) Echelbarger from Polo, IL, siblings Joani (Haenitsch) Adamson & Megan Haenitsch. He leaves behind his cherished daughter Kaydence Haenitsch and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

There are many memories that we could share about Nathan, or Nate to some. He deeply enjoyed his love for his motorcycle, his dog Kimber, and his hobby of collecting guns. His daughter was his heart and he often told her that he could not live without his heart. He took great pride in his career and supporting his family owned business. He was a man of many trades/talents and could fix and do just about anything anyone asked of him. He retained a knowledge of many things and would love to share. He touched many lives with his kindness and a heart of gold, always ready to lend a helping hand. He was loved and adored by his nieces and nephews and his many friends.

Taken from us too soon, Nathan still had so much to live for and celebrate. His presence in our lives was a gift and his memory will continue to guide us, leaving an incredible mark on all who knew him. Nathan will always be a part of us.

We will be honoring Nathan at a Celebration of Life to be held on September 28th, 2024 at 1:00pm at Franklin Creek State Natural Area – Mill Springs Day Use Area located at 1872 Twist Road Franklin Grove, IL 61031.
