TO THE EDITOR:
It is with a heavy heart we write to inform readers of The Daily Tar Heel that Nate Harrison, a former DTH editorial board member, passed away earlier this month in a single passenger car accident.
Nate graduated from UNC in 2013 with a degree in Peace, War and Defense. He was the embodiment of what it means to be a Tar Heel — smart, funny, genuine and unwaveringly loyal to his friends and family.
Nate loved UNC and especially loved writing for the DTH, which allowed him to flex his keen interests in politics, history and current events.
Nate grew up just down the road in Durham. He came to Carolina in 2008 as an undying Tar Heel Football fan and would go on to intern with the UNC football defensive coaching staff — a dream of his come true.
Ever the contrarian, Nate prided himself on cheering for the Tar Heels while growing up in Duke Country, and putting football above all else at a basketball school.
Nate was truly a great Tar Heel, but an even better brother, son and friend. He will be deeply missed.
