Nathaniel Keiler Farcas, passed away November 18, 2021 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
He was a writer and digital artist and had been studying game design and working on his second novel. His intent was to continue his studies in New York and become a writer as a career. He was born in New York City and through the arts had dozens of 'aunts' and 'uncles' teaching him that color, race, gender, disability and age were not important and he carried this inclusive message into his life. He loved to travel and had traveled all over the world with his family, having a special love for Japan. He had studied Japanese in school and on his own and spoke, read and wrote it (in all three Japanese alphabets) fluently. Although a city boy, he loved nature, especially beaches and forests. He had a great love of animals and had volunteered at shelters in Hawaii and had actively rescued his companion, Halloween Bat, during a dark and windy Halloween night in Florida. He had not only traveled a great deal but had lived (and been tattooed) in many states. Aside from NYC he lived in Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Virginia and Florida. He was a prolific poet, writing hundreds of poems that his family will now work on preparing for publication along with his novels and short stories. They are also compiling a collection of his digital and hand drawn art. One of the great joys of his life was his friendships, those friends he loved helped him to flesh out ideas for art, gave him creative feedback and steadied him when things were difficult. Causes close to his heart are LGBTQIA awareness and support groups, Autism Spectrum support groups and animal rescue groups. If Nate could leave a message for everyone, he would ask us all to be kind to one another.

I remember him being precocious and intelligent when he was very young, and always so engaging with us grown ups in NYC theater. I wish that I had been around more to continue being a part of Nate's life and journey. He was a beacon of light, an old and wise soul always. His poetry and words and memories shared by so many people give me comfort, that he lives on in their hearts and thoughts. Nate will live in mine too. Nate will be in every dragonfly that I see (and I have always loved them so), in every animal I give love to. I will remember him every chance I have to be a kinder, more thoughtful human. My heart is broken that such a beautiful person has bereft the world, but still grateful that he was in it and making it a better place, though for too short a time. I will treasure the book of his art and words when it is published, and share it with my corner of the world every way I can. My love to all of you. less

Although it was clear that he didnt want to be on stage himself, I always LOVED that we had the chance to perform just for him and Stephanie (as they would usually come to one of our final rehearsals just before our public shows). I hope he got something out of them.
Nate Thanks for showing us all how to be brave and advocate for ourselves! less
