Nathan Joseph Kinzie

Nathan Joseph Kinzie, 'Nate', was age 33 on March 18, when he passed this earthly life. He was born in Colorado Springs, CO to Joseph and Sandra Kinzie. He is survived by his mother, Sandi, his beloved sister Beth Anne, faithful brother-in-law Andy Bishop, the Sonya Landis-Huff family - sister of Sandi, 'the peoples dog' Zar, the California Ginny Kinzie's which includes Becky Enzi and Bill Kinzie families and many friends in Ft Collins. Nate attended Front Range Community College and had plans to become a mushroom farmer and maybe fly an airplane someday. Nate was a commercial fisherman on the Murmilach, house-remodeler with Stew Robbins, gardener, blacksmith, welder, tanner of hides and, most recently, a bee keeper with Copoco Honey in Ft Collins. Nathan loved listening to and creating music. Nate and Beth were devoted Swing Dancers. Nate often made his own clothes. He was on the board of Hammer Time in Ft Collins. Nathan valued trains and doing research on many topics. He had an avid mind for vast topics of information. Nate cherished his dog, Zar, 'Connie Chicken Hat', 'Nutter Butter' the squirrel, and desired to raise goats. Nate did food canning, drying and preservation projects and made Sushi. Nate was fondly known by a good friend as 'Nate the Christian' up in Bellingham, WA. His church growing up was Agape Fellowship now Grace Fellowship Foursquare with Dave and Karen Huntwork, Ft Collins. Nathan became an organ donor upon his death, perhaps in honor of heart recipient and step-father John Canzonieri. Father, Joseph Kinzie, was fondly called 'Papa Joe'. His remains will be scattered over the mountains, where he spent much time - including kayaking, mountain biking and hiking. No one will replace him and we will wait a long time to see him, again. Say 'hi' to Nanny for us. Go in peace, Nathan. You are 'one who cared'. "Do not worry. I have a place for you. I am hearing you today. You do hear me. Continue to have peace. See beauty. Bask in Me. Soak up the sun of my grace over you . . .and over your family. Let go the cloak of daily grievance. Run to my heart." -God There will be a gathering in honor of Nathan on Saturday, March 28, beginning at noon, at 609 N. Timberline Rd. Messages or thoughts can be sent through Sandi Kinzie at 719-359-3995.
