Nathan Paul Waterhouse was born on March 3, 1975, to Janie and Stuart Waterhouse. He was the second of their four children and their only son. He was a calm baby who grew into a sweet and funny boy. He loved to play but was always safety minded. He would even grab a Tupperware bowl and place it on his head as a helmet before racing around the house on his Big Wheels trike.
He was a smart kid and a fine student, but he never found his passion in a classroom. Nate developed a sharp sense of humor with a wit far quicker than most. A wit he employed many times to charm his way out of the trouble he often created for himself.
