The irony of life on full display – A Minnesota RC racer who lived for the ride has sadly passed away from a brutal car accident, throwing the world of his closest friends and family into disarray.
Nathan Joarnt, from St Louis Park, Minnesota, died literally five days after celebrating his 22nd birthday!
On that big day, Joarnt celebrated himself and envisaged more birthdays ahead to enjoy but alas, it was not to be.
He rather cruelly- considering what he did for a living – died in a car accident.
MMR, an On Road and Off Road race facility in Minnesota that Joarnt had frequented since he was a child revealed his passing and a cause of death.
“Nathan was a huge part of our lives and I am sure many of yours as we watched him grow from a little kid to a full adult. MMR is a race track, but more then that it really a family and our hearts will always ache.
“We sure love you Nathan and we will always cherish all the wonderful moments we had with you,” the post read.
Nathan Joarnt was remembered for being a talented racer, an amazing friend, an impactful colleague and a happy-go-lucky person who helped brighten the day of almost everyone who had the good fortune of coming across him.
Joarnt leaves behind a legacy of determination, hard work, and perseverance.
In a sign of how much he was loved and will be missed, a cross was set up in his memory which contained numerous signatures from all the people whose lives he had impacted.
Joarnt by all accounts was a great guy who made those around him happy and enjoyed life to the fullest.
May he rest in peace.
