I am currently in California where I have been for the last 2 weeks. I am returning home tomorrow but this morning I received terrible news from Misti Montgomery. Some of you will remember her son Nathan Cosby who wrestled in Oklahoma. My son and hers often wrestled and this is a wonderful family. I am passing along the tragic news about the passing of Nathan.

Mike,

I wanted to let you know one of our Oklahoma wrestlers Nathan Cosby has been called to the Lord on 7/7/07 at 5:45 a.m. Although you may not remember me and my son Chase they were friends with Nathan as they were at many wrestling tournaments together over the years. We recently moved to Alaska where Chase is now wrestling for the Colony Knights. He placed 2nd in the High School State Tournament @103 lbs. as a Freshman. http://www.akmat.org/Results/06-07Results/HighSchool/4AState/4A_State.htm

Nathan was a very strong Christian throughout his battle and through his illness has brought many people to the Lord!!!! Here's a link to his site and I would encourage you to read his journal as it's quite uplifting on his courage and trust in the Lord! http://www.caringbridge.org/cb/inputSiteName.do?method=search&siteName=nathancosby

If you could pass this on to our wrestling community I would appreciate it as I know many wrestlers in the state were friends of Nathan.

Eric “Nathan” Cosby

Reading this journal, makes our problems miniscule. If you have time read it. I didn't know the young man, but admire how brave he was.
