His wife Katie is also a member of our fire department as well as an EMT with Deer-Grove EMS. Nate was a dedicated husband, father, firefighter and Marine Corp veteran. He leaves behind a wife, two young children and countless friends and family. The "Nate Walker Memorial Fund" has been created to help Katie and her children during this difficult time.
