On February 7, 2003, Nathan “Nate” Alexander was born to Eric and Shanon Minns in Lubbock, Texas. Although arriving into this world 2 months early, he quickly developed into a robust baby whose bright smile and belly laughs brought everyone around him joy.  Nathan spent his childhood in Pennsylvania and Houston until finally settling back in Lubbock in 2010. He attended school at Roscoe Wilson Elementary, Cooper South Middle School and Lubbock High School. Due to Covid-19, Nate graduated remotely from Texas Tech High School in 2021. Nathan had many interests and activities due to his innate curiosity for learning. This included computers, technology, and theater. He always had a fascination for cars and their mechanics and was currently employed at The Paint Doctor. He enjoyed staying active, he was a member of the Lubbock High Varsity Swim Team and found the gym his place of solace.

Nate dreamt of a future career where he made a huge impact on others and their lives. He had plans to attend school for IT in hopes of joining the Air Force/Space Force. Nate will always be remembered by his friends and family for his kind heart and contagious smile. He will be missed by so many.

Survivors include his parents, Shanon Coulter and her husband, Glen; and Eric Minns; sisters, Maizey Garcez, and Abigail Minns; his nephew, Nova Padilla. Nate is also survived by his maternal grandparents, Kelly and Larry Haschke; paternal grandmother, Judy Short; paternal uncle and aunt, Brian and Jenny Minns.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Gary Minns; uncle, Matthew Palmer.

Our son, brother, uncle, and friend Nathan “Nate” Minns” passed away on Wednesday, July 13, 2022.

I feel like I was there whenever I saw the picture of Nate & Abby sitting on the kitchen counter. As far as I can remember Nate (from years ago), he was a sweet soul. My thoughts & prayers go out to you guys entire family, Nates passing will leave an undoubtable impact, but y’all get to decide what KIND of impact it will make by how Nate’s legacy is chosen to be carried on! Abby, I love you girl & I am so sorry for the loss of your baby brother that I know you adore so much. 🦋💙 Nate will forever be watching & protecting you guys, never forget that Gods timing doesn’t always make sense in the moment, but someday it will all come together. My heart goes out to y’all. If I can do absolutely ANYTHING to brighten the day or make it easier, Abby has my information. Keep your heads up!!! That way Nate can see y’all’s beautiful faces.💛

Although the miles apart kept us from meeting only rarely, we can see you had many friends who truly loved you. May you rest in peace in the love of so many who cared about you. Uncle Gordon has a love of classic cars and you two certainly would have enjoyed discussing them together. Love, Uncle Gordon and Aunt Jackie

I instantly felt just how special you are the moment we met. You reminded me of my baby brother. Nate, you made us the best homemade pizza ever! I watched him put love into every bite. We didn’t mind how long we waited for it to come out of the oven. Rest in love you handsome little gentleman.
