William Nathan Bree

William Nathan Bree was born on January 23, 1980, to Bill and Charlene Bree. He was the epitome of a free spirit who lived life to the fullest. He passed on October 29, 2025, at the age of 45 years. The oldest of three brothers, Nate was born and raised in Visalia, attended Royal Oaks Elementary, Valley Oak and Divisadero Middle Schools and Mt. Whitney High School. He later attended Lake Tahoe Community College. Nathan was a self-employed private consultant. He loved the mountains and times spent at the family cabin in Mineral King. Nathan was an avid outdoorsman who hiked many areas of the Sierra Nevadas. Blackrock Pass, Evelyn Lake, Sawtooth and the Tahoe Yosemite Trail were some of his favorite destinations. Nathan was a mountain biker who had traversed the downhill of the Mineral King Road as a teenager: He was a voracious snowboarder. Nate was always seeking out the steepest peak for the perfect Double Black Diamond run. A broken arm that occurred after his first snowboarding attempt kept him off the peaks for only a few days. He could be seen at China Peak, Sierra Summit, Mt. Rose, the Grand Tetons and Mammoth. In his later years, car racing became his passion. It was not uncommon to see him on a racetrack driving at speeds over 160 miles per hour. Any activity involving fearlessness and an adrenaline rush was his idea of fun. Between weightlifting with friends, he thoroughly enjoyed playing softball with his buddies at Touchstone and the Zachary Horton Foundation. Nate knew no strangers. He was well-read in a multitude of subjects and could talk to anyone. He had an infectious laugh and great sense of humor. Nathan was extremely generous to those in need, especially children, and had a deep affection for animals, most notably, his black Lab, "Mister" Nate is survived by his parents, Bill and Charlene Bree; brother, Adam Bree; brother, Aaron Bree; sister-in-law, Jess; nieces, Charlotte and Aria.
