In a devastating turn of events, a man identified as Nate Kuhlman has tragically lost his life in a water skiing accident just three days after his wedding.
Nate and Mariana exchanged vows on October 28, 2023, and embarked on their honeymoon in St Lucia.
However, their blissful honeymoon took a heartbreaking turn when Nate was involved in a fatal water skiing accident on October 31.
In response to the sudden tragedy, two GoFundMe campaigns were launched to support the family with funeral expenses.
The outpouring of generosity from donors surpassed the targets, with one page raising over $30,000 (£24,228) and the other exceeding $42,000 (£33,921).
Mariana paid tribute to her beloved husband on the GoFundMe page, describing him as a wonderful husband, friend, son, and brother in Christ.
She highlighted his kind, adventurous nature and the positive impact he had on everyone he encountered.
Heartwarming messages of support flooded the fundraising pages, with friends and acquaintances expressing their deep sorrow and sharing memories of Nate.
The loss was also felt by the medical community, as Nate was pursuing a career in medicine and left a lasting impression on those he worked with.
Nate’s mother, Heather Kuhlman, shared her grief on Facebook, expressing the shock and pain that is now upon their family.
An autopsy has been conducted to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.
