Nathan R. Collier

Nathan R. Collier, 38, Fort Wayne, formally of Pierceton, died peacefully Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023, surrounded by his loving family.

Born May 1, 1984, in Fort Wayne, Nathan was one of four children of Timothy and Deborah (Bolinger) Collier. He graduated from Whitko High School in 2003. Professionally, he worked for Frisco Lending Services as an applications architect where he honed his skills building back-end software and reporting systems for a company he loved. His superpower was being able to see gaps and holes in problems and create solutions for them. Nathan was united in marriage to his love, Sherina Miller, on Aug. 11, 2012, at the Old Train Depot in Pierceton. The two share three sons, Varian, Abbott and Silas.

Nathan loved being outdoors and working on his unique diesel vehicles. He loved tinkering around the house, planning their garden, playing outside with his boys, going on dates with his wife and cooking up the next family adventure. Most of all, Nathan loved his family and friends. Spending time with them and making memories was something he truly treasured.

Those who survive carrying on his memory include his wife, Sherina and children, Varian, Abbott and Silas of Fort Wayne; parents, Timothy and Deborah Collier, Pierceton; sisters, Leslie (Gary) Basinger, Churubusco and Lindsay (Brian) Runkel, Syracuse; brother, TeJay Collier, Pierceton; mother-in-law, CeCe Miller, Fort Wayne; and his beloved dogs, Maude and Phoebee. He is further survived by several nieces and nephews, extended family members and many loving friends. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles and Valda Collier and Richard and Marilyn Bollinger; and his father-in-law Kenny Miller.

Titus Funeral Home and Cremation Services are entrusted with Nathan’s cremation care. Friends may join his family from 2-5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023, at Presbyterian Church, 309 S First St., Pierceton, for a celebration of Nathan’s life. No formal services will be held.
