Celebration of Life for Nathaniel Robert Richardson Family and friends are invited to celebrate the life of Nathaniel Robert Richardson (“Nate”), who passed away on July 26, 2025, in Naples, Florida. Born in Lyndhurst, Ohio, to David and Helen Richardson, Nate was the firstborn of three children. He was preceded in death by his father, David Richardson, and his younger brother, Mike Richardson. Nate dedicated more than 30 years of his life to his career as an MRI Technologist. He was respected for his knowledge, professionalism, and compassionate care for others. His work was more than a profession—it was a way of helping people during times when they needed it most. Above all, Nate was a loving husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He shared a special bond with his wife, Alexis Richardson, and together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and the companionship of their two beloved adopted cats. Nate enjoyed golfing, playing solitaire, watching action movies, and spending time with family and friends. He was known for his intelligence, kindness, gentle spirit, and sense of humor. Those who knew him will remember the warmth he brought into every room and the genuine care he showed to others. He leaves behind his loving wife, Alexis Richardson; his mother, Helen Richardson; his sister, Susan Cocita; his niece, Mel Kassouf, her husband, Joe Kassouf, and their children, Gio and Gabriel; his niece, Maria Cocita; his nephew, Anthony Cocita; and many relatives, friends, and coworkers who will forever cherish his memory. While we mourn Nate’s passing, we gather to celebrate a life well lived—a life filled with love, compassion, dedication, and countless cherished memories. His legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
