Beloved husband, father, son, brother, friend, and coach Nathan “Nate” R. Soto of Liberty Center, Ohio was born on August 27, 1976 to Marcia (Lewallen) McFadden and the late Emilio “Mick” Soto.
He was a 1996 graduate of Liberty Center High School where he was a prominent member of the football and track teams. He obtained his bachelor’s degree from Bowling Green State University in communications and marketing. He married his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Tiffany (Schultz) Soto who survives. Nate and Tiffany have two beautiful children Kaden and Karleigh who have been the center of their life together.
His life was devoted to his family. He coached his children and countless Liberty Center youth, was the President of the Liberty Center Wrestling Club, and loved rooting on The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Philadelphia Eagles. Nate was a selfless man who would do anything for his family, friends, and community.
He was a devoted member of Shiloh Christian Union Church, and his love for the Lord was evident to all who knew him.

He was my uncle and my mom’s cousin who died that day and we will now remember him and when he was a nice guy and a wrestling coach for his kid.
He was also brave and tough enough to keep his family safe
He was always there for his kids and wife
