Nathan Carty, 31, of Lenoir City, passed away suddenly in a car accident on Saturday, October 30th. Nathan was the 2nd of 7 children (6 sons and 1 daughter) of Tim and Jackie Carty of Lenoir City. Nathan is loved and dearly missed by family and friends who take great comfort in the fact that upon his death, Nathan was, without a doubt, immediately in the presence of his Heavenly Father.

He was preceded in death by his grandfathers: Jack Lewis (Bluff City), Mike Carty (Bristol), and step-grandfather Henry Chaffin (Bluff City). Nathan is survived by his parents, Tim and Jackie Carty (Lenoir City); brothers: Josh Carty (wife Savannah; children Jubilee, Miriam, & Douglas, Gainesboro, TN), Luke Carty (wife Amy Ruth, Cookeville), Caleb Carty (wife Aubrey; children Heidi & Luella, Cookeville), Micah Carty (fiancé Sammy Smith), and John Carty; sister: Amy Elizabeth; “Florida brother”: Alex Hessler (St. Petersburg); grandmothers: Phyllis Chaffin (Bluff City) and Bobbie Jo Carty (Bristol); aunts and uncles: Robert and Cheryl White (Bluff City), Doug and Sherry Lewis (Bluff City), and Dan Carty (Bristol); cousins: Noble White (wife Patience) and Adam Lewis; and numerous great aunts and great uncles.

Nathan graduated from Family Christian Academy and entered the U.S. Marine Corps as an Infantryman in 2009. He was in the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, Alpha Company 3rd Platoon and served two tours in Afghanistan. After his service in the Marine Corps, he became a cell tower climber in Ohio, an electrician’s apprentice in Pigeon Forge, and was most recently in his fourth year as an apprentice lineman for the City of Oak Ridge Electric Company. Nathan went “all in” with the Lord Jesus Christ approximately 5 years ago and faithfully attended Fellowship Church (Knoxville).

The family will receive friends on Saturday, November 6 from 4 to 6 p.m. with a Celebration of Life service to follow at 6 p.m. at Fellowship Church, 8000 Middlebrook Pike, Knoxville TN 37909.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Fellowship Church – Surge Initiative.
