Nathaniel “Tater” Hulett was born in Beeville, Texas on March 27th, 1981, to (Father) Richard Dean Hulett and (Mother) Brenda Sue Lawrence (Caselton). He passed away peacefully at his home in Hutchinson, Kansas on August 29th, 2025.
Nathaniel lived his life simply and jokingly said “retired.” Though he struggled daily with mental health challenges, he spent his final years surrounded by hope, family, and the simple joy of living. He will be remembered for his love of music, fishing, his creativity, generosity, and above all, for his devotion to God. Nathaniel carried the Word of God with him wherever he went, eager to share it with anyone who would listen. He collected Bibles gave some away, clothed the needy, fed the hungry, and provided rest to weary souls.
Many will remember him for his big heart, his laughter, and the way he reached out to those in need. He was always the first to encourage someone, to offer kindness, or share a joke to lighten the pain. Nathaniel’s life was a daily battle, but he fought with courage and faith. In God’s mercy, when his struggle was over, Nathaniel was lovingly brought home.
He is survived by his mother, Brenda Sue Caselton; his sister, Heather Helene Hulett; his daughter, Gracie Sue Hulett, his life partner and soulmate Laura “Winky” Weidenbener, his brother Levi Hulett, stepmother Sally Hulett, and his beloved cat, Sadie Rocks.
