Nathan Leone Elmer passed away on April 23, 2015 in Fillmore, Utah. He was born on December 10, 1968 to Sheldon and Pauline Elmer. He spent his life growing up in Utah, including Payson, Eureka, and Fillmore. Nathan married Keri Mendenhall in the Manti L.D.S. temple on September 11, 1993. They have two wonderful sons, Isaac and Aaron, and they are his every joy. Nathan attended Millard High School and he graduated from Brigham Young University-Hawaii with a Bachelor’s Degree in History. At BYU-H, he served as the Ombudsman in the student government where he had the opportunity to help several students. He loved BYU-H and all of the life-long friends he made there. Nathan loved the great outdoors. He loved fishing, hunting, hiking, and camping. He also loved animals, especially his dog L.B. Blessed with a great imagination, Nathan was talented at creating and telling wonderful stories, which he used to delight and teach his sons and family. Nathan was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served a two year mission to Fresno, California and he loved his service as a coordinator in the Provo L.D.S. temple. He also served in many other capacities in his various wards; including counselor in several bishoprics, Ward Clerk, Ward Executive Secretary, Stake Executive Secretary, Elders’ Quorum President, counselor in the Sunday School Presidency, Gospel Doctrine teacher, scout leader, and primary teacher. Nathan is survived by his wife, Keri; his sons, Isaac and Aaron; his mother, Pauline; his brothers, Christopher and Louis (Cathy); and numerous nieces and nephews, whom he adored. Nathan was preceded in death by his father, Sheldon; nephew, Crosby; sister, Jeanie; and his grandparents. Nathan will always be remembered for the love he had for his family, his friends, the Gospel, and those that were suffering. He was a wonderful example of listening, giving quiet service, and having humility. We are thankful for all who loved Nathan. We are grateful for Eternal families and we know that we will see Nathan again. Funeral Directors: Utah Valley Mortuary.
