A newlywed man hailing from Ohio met with a tragic end during a water skiing accident while on his honeymoon in St. Lucia, occurring just days after his wedding ceremony.
Nate Kuhlman and Mariana (Garcia) Kuhlman had celebrated their union on October 28, 2023, and their joy was abruptly ended three days into their honeymoon.
Two GoFundMe campaigns were launched to provide financial assistance for funeral expenses and travel costs for the family, and to offer some support to Mariana Kuhlman during her time of loss. These campaigns have seen an outpouring of generosity, raising a total exceeding $100,000.
Expressing her heartache on Facebook, Heather Kuhlman, Nate’s mother, spoke of the unexpected nature of her son’s passing and the difficulties the family is enduring. Despite the deep loss, she found comfort in their Christian faith and the kindness shown by the community, with thousands extending their support and prayers.
Nate Kuhlman, a graduate of Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, is remembered as a vibrant and kind individual with a zest for life and adventure. His mother’s social media tributes reflect a family seeking comfort in their faith and the support of friends and community as they navigate this tragic loss.
