(Scypre.com) – The family of a recently married man from Florida is in deep sorrow following his unexpected death in a water skiing accident during his Caribbean honeymoon, just three days after exchanging vows with his bride.
Nate and Mariana Kuhlman, who got married on October 28, traveled to St. Lucia to celebrate their union. Sadly, Nate passed away suddenly, as disclosed in two GoFundMe campaigns established to support the grieving family.
In a heartfelt Facebook post, Nate’s mother, Heather Kuhlman, expressed the shock and pain the family is experiencing. She emphasized the uncertainty of life and conveyed gratitude for the support they’ve received. Heather also mentioned that she flew to St. Lucia four days ago to offer prayers over Nate’s body before the autopsy.
While the details of the tragic incident were not provided, Heather acknowledged the outpouring of support and shared her belief that Nate is now in the arms of Jesus.
Nate and Mariana, both alumni of the Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio, relocated to Nate’s home state of Florida after their studies. Two GoFundMe pages have collectively raised over $100,000 to assist the families with funeral costs and related expenses.
Describing Nate as a wonderful husband, friend, son, and brother in Christ, one of the campaigns highlighted his thoughtful and adventurous nature. The funds raised are intended to cover funeral expenses, travel costs for the family, and other immediate needs.
Heather, in a later Facebook post, announced her return to the U.S. with Nate’s body and requested prayers for their journey. She assured further updates on arrangements and expressed gratitude for the collective prayers and support.
