Nathan Trapuzzano was killed by a gunshot wound on Tuesday, April 1, 2014. He and his wife, Jennifer, were expecting baby, Cecilia, on May 7. They would have celebrated their first wedding anniversary on May 11 and he would have been 25 years old on May 17. Nathan was a computer engineer, who graduated from Ball State University in classical studies. He was on his morning walk for exercise when he was shot in the abdomen. Father Christopher Roberts, the administrator at Saint Mary in Union City said, "We pray also for his murderers, who took the life of one of the best young men I have ever known. May God forgive them."
Ivy Tech Community College, where Trapuzzano worked, will give his unborn daughter a scholarship.
"The Ivy Tech Community College family is shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of one of our own, Nathan Trapuzzano, a young and bright software engineer at the college," a statement from the school said. Nathan was a devout Catholic and Pro-lifer.
Family Statement: “Nathan Trapuzzano was the most kind-hearted person you would ever know. He never had an unkind thought in his head. He was so in love wife his wife Jennifer, and unborn baby daughter, Cecelia. He was so excited about being a new Daddy.
“The loss of this very, very special young man has been such a shock to our entire family. As with many tragedies, this seems so senseless and yet the outpouring of love and support reminds us that there is so much good in this world. Nate would not want us to become angry, but rather focus on the good and what is yet to come.
“Nate had an unbelievable, strong faith in God, and we are finding some comfort knowing he is now in the Lord’s loving embrace.”
Please pray for his family....
