A recent celebration turned to sorrow when Nate Kuhlman from Ohio tragically lost his life in a water skiing accident while on his honeymoon in St. Lucia. The event took place just three days after he and Mariana (Garcia) Kuhlman were married on October 28, 2023.

The details surrounding the water skiing incident have been kept private, yet the impact is deeply felt among those close to the couple. The Kuhlman family, along with friends, are currently faced with the daunting task of dealing with the sudden departure of their loved one.

The community has shown immense support during this difficult time, setting up two GoFundMe campaigns. The fundraisers were created to help cover the funeral costs, unexpected travel for family members, and to provide support for Mariana Kuhlman as she faces the future without her husband. The collective contributions to these campaigns have surpassed $100,000, indicating a strong sense of community support.

Nate Kuhlman’s mother, Heather Kuhlman, shared her sorrow on Facebook. She revealed the family’s shock at the death of her son.

Remembered by his alma mater, Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, Nate Kuhlman was described as full of life, kindness, and adventurous spirit. Through her public statements, Heather Kuhlman painted a picture of a family that is finding solace in their faith and the support of their community during this unimaginable time.
