It has been eight months since Nathan’s family in Waterloo region has seen him and now the family is holding a vigil in Waterloo this weekend to renew hope that he’s is still out there somewhere.
Nathan, 37, who grew up in Waterloo region, has been missing since May 12, when he was last seen around 7 p.m. in the area of Jane Street and Sheppard Avenue West in Toronto, leaving behind his cellphone and wallet at home.
There have been no confirmed sightings of Nathan since he went missing.
Nathan’s cousin, Jason Babcock, told CBC News, they wanted to hold the vigil this weekend because the holiday is one of the Nathan’s favourite time of the year.
“He really enjoyed Christmas time and our thoughts were to hold something for him to let him know that we’re still looking for him and to try and bring him home for the holidays,” he said.
Babcock said the vigil on Saturday will be held at the K-W Naval Association in Waterloo and will start with a prayer session. He said it will be an opportunity for people to bring photos of Nathan and share stories about him.
“It’s more of a gathering to tell stories about him because that’s what Nathan liked to do around Christmas time, be around his friends and family,” he said.
