Nathaniel Folkes

On July 18th, 1999, a king was born. Nathaniel Anthony Folkes, a man with a plan, coming out ready to put his hands to work. Second born, middle child, of course came out different from the others. The only child to come straight out the hospital without making a stop in the NICU. As he grew into a fearless little boy, he would run and play all day.From young he will get hurt 100 times and jump back up like nothing happened. Then he started to show the true magic of his hands. At 2 years old, the only thing he wanted were tools to add into his tool set. Natty has always been mechanically incline. He would take apart/ break his bike chain, just to put it back together again.He became a jack of all trades. Always ready to learn a new trick & trade. By 7 years old, he was already riding dirt bikes and ATVS. The beginning of a beautiful passion!By 8 years, he started his first lawn care business. Everyone in the neighborhood were getting their grass cut by Natty, sparking his love for money. From then he started his plan to build a family legacy.As one of the sons to Daniel & Kristina, he is every bit of loving, helping, hard headed & always ready to give his next idea. Nathaniel grew one of four. He always has his big brother, Daniel, little brother Chris (Emanuel) and his baby sister Gabs (Gabrielle) right by his side through thick and thin. Everyday is a new adventure with the Folkes Family! There is always an always a new story from the neighborhood, school, or a family function and cookout.Natty has always been mentored by his big brother Daniel, but of course he always had to add his own special twist. Nathaniel is also a mentor to his little brother, Chris, his best friend, partner in crime. the best gaming duo. He is always the first one to hype up his baby sister, Gabs. He is truly her biggest cheerleader. As a brother he is always very encouraging! Him & his siblings never miss a beat, they talk everyday!Together, through it all, they have each other’s back.To some, they may say little Natty acted like a menace to society. But in reality, he became a man who pushed passed boundaries, never stopped at a limit, to the point the word “can’t” was never in his vocabulary.Nathaniel has always been a very kind person. Always willing to give a helping hand. He loved to help the helpless. As a cousin & friend he would always check-in with his mains. Natty is always there with an open ear and shoulder to cry on. Always there to offer real, encouraging words to anyone. Even to a stranger on the street or a child in his life. Trust and believe he will always give the realest advice and his two cents with no sugar coating, yet ended every convo with “love.”At the age of 16, Nathaniel meet Allia (Lee) and decided she was the one. Throughout the years, they fought for what they wanted, each other. They shared countless laughs, memories, grew together and marked off goals. They created a life and home together filled with fun, unconditional love.At the age of 17, he started his own car collection. Getting some of his favorites like his Honda Prelude, Honda Civic (self-built) and BMW 335i to name a few. A year later at 18, he moved out ready to show the world what he is really about.Nathaniel became the man you can call to do it all and fix it all. A self taught master mechanic! A true hustler! He can always get the job done for right price. When he turned 21, he took a leap and bought a box truck to start his own transportation company.At 23, Nathaniel already accomplished what most only dream of, and purchased his first house with Allia. Anything he put his mind to he always did. No matter what others had to say or think.
