Nathan Donald Brookshire (Nate) age 19 of Ozark and recently Vichy, MO passed away Tuesday, June 18, 2019. He was born October 23, 1999 and was the son of Donald E. and Cynthia Brookshire.
Nate was a rare soul in someone so young. His love of life naturally burst from his beautiful smile and sparkling eyes. Behind that façade though was a sharp mind and stubborn streak that helped him achieve every goal he ever set for himself.
He had the ability to talk to people of all ages about any subject and his parents thought that someday he would become a very powerful, influential man in whatever career field he chose. He had recently helped his family open a new business in Rolla and had many valuable marketing ideas.
As a child, sports and pets were Nate’s hobbies. Lately, time spent with his many friends was important to Nate.
Nate is survived by his parents, Don and Cynthia Brookshire; his brothers Levi and Garrett Brookshire; grandparents Kenneth Newnham and wife Donna, Nadine Newnham, and Don C. Brookshire; an extended biological family including siblings, mother and great-grandmother and many friends that claimed him as their brother. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Ruth Brookshire.
Memorial funeral services for Nate will be 5:00 P.M. Saturday, June 22, 2019 in Barnes Family Funeral Home, Ozark. Visitation will be 3:00 P.M. Saturday until service time in the funeral home. Donations to honor Nate’s love of animals may be made to Rescue One, 1927-B East Bennett Street, Springfield, Missouri 65804. Online condolences may be shared at www.barnesfamilyfunerals.com.
Fly high now on angel’s wings, Nate!

June 20, 2019 at 8:04 pmNathaniel, ever since you were a kid I’ve always had love for you. Ever since me and Garrett were waking up at 5am to go to drill In our early years in high school. Growing up together with Garrett and seeing you play with your airsoft gun that everyone drooled over. Once we became close friends, the times we spent together are never going to the be the same. Every trip we made together with our friends. Like when we skipped the volleyball tournament to go to Branson with Jon and Justin to spend the day and branson and just hangout together. Or all the little trips we’d all take to downtown Springfield just to go around the square and go to the parking garage and just hangout. Little things like that are gonna hurt to do now without you. I’m gonna miss everything about you. Your laugh, your courage, and your scream that never failed to make me laugh. You may not have been blood, but you were my brother. You will always be my brother. Rest in peace Nathaniel, Love you always.

June 22, 2019 at 9:25 pmThank you so much for all your support and love. Nate truly has made a difference in so many lives. Please remember the good times spent with him. He wouldn’t want anyone to be sad over his passing. He is flying free now with angels and if there is fishing in heaven, he and his grandma are trying to outdo each other!

In harmony with God’s original purpose, those resurrected as humans will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth. (Luke 23:43)This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans.
The Bible says: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalms 37:29)
