He was born in Wichita, to Cheryl (Stotts) Hainlen and Patrick Hanes on October 3, 1979. He was a lifelong resident of Wichita. He attended Wichita South High School and graduated in 1998. In high school Nate was a state qualifying wrestler and member of DECCA. After high school, Nate attended Wichita State University where he joined the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. He had many friends from high school and college that he continued to keep in touch with over the years.
Nate loved being with his sons. They were the light of his life. From watching movies to going out to dinner to having fun at the trampoline park, there was nowhere else Nate wanted to be other than with his sons. Outside of being with his 2 sons, being a manager at Wal-Mart was Nate’s favorite job. He had great relationships with his employees, so much so that they were still visiting him in the hospital and at home until the end.
Nate is preceded in death by his grandfather Curtis Stotts, grandparents Evan & Eldon Hanes, step-father Ray Hainlen and God mother Shirley West.
