"After the moment of silence let us reflect on who Nathan was," Koben Parry said over the loud speaker at Miller-Sibley Friday night. Nathan Luzier died tragically Tuesday morning in a car accident. He was a Rocky Grove sophomore and played on the baseball team.
Friday night, he was remembered for his time playing third base on the major league field up on the hill above Franklin as a member of Ken Hamilton's Gardinier team. "Six years," Hamilton said choking back tears when asked how many years he coached Nathan.
Nathan's parents Andrea Consla and Christopher Luzier were invited to attend the first game of the 2021 Little League season where they were presented with the number 12 Gardinier jersey that he wore.

Cars lined the perimeter of the field for the kick-off . They were there to support the life affirming act of little people playing Little League ball while paying tribute to one of their own.
There were tears. Lots of tears.
This community lost something it doesn't quite know how to deal with yet other than going on and hugging each other in their time of need.
Here are a few photos from tonight's touching tribute and the first game of this 2021 season.

There have been many tributes and acknowledgment's of Nathan's life and the loss this is not only to the family, but the entire community. Pastor Randy Powell sat down in grief and composed this heartfelt video post just hours after learning of Nathan's death. It is from a Christian preacher's perspective, but it rings true beyond religious belief. Well worth the listen. Click on the link below to hear his heartfelt words.
A funeral will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m. at the Rocky Grove baseball field at Valley Grove Elementary school.
Koben Parry's thoughts Friday night shared over a solemn loud speaker resinated with all who were head down in deep thought and prayer. "On and off the field, Nathan was smart, hard working and above all else, a kind young man. For the duration that we were teammates, he helped me turn myself into, not only a great baseball player, but also to be a better person off the field. And I feel he had that affect on so many other people."
