Nathan Allen Schleicher, age 47, of Cambridge died June 29, 2024 at Cambridge Medical Center. Celebration of Life Gathering will be held August 3rd from 1:00pm – 3:00pm at Strike Life Tributes in Cambridge.
Nate was born on January 24, 1977 to his father, Jerry Schleicher, and mother, Donna Auth. He graduated from Cambridge High School in 1996. Nate worked at the Outdoorsman Restaurant and as a greeter at Walmart until health struggles forced him to resign in 2010.
Throughout his life, Nate enjoyed trips to the Boundary Waters with his dad, bike rides on the trails with Jeff, and going to watch his brother play hockey and baseball games. He loved going bowling with his Grandma Schleicher, fishing trips with his grandparents, and holidays/birthday get-togethers with family. Nate particularly enjoyed going to the casino with his mom and sister, games and puzzles, and movie dates with his mom.
Nate is survived by his father, Jerry (Janice) Schleicher; mother, Donna (Jeffrey) Auth; sister, Danett (Jay) Manders; brothers, Kevin (Kalyn) Auth and Jordan Schleicher; nieces, Kathryn (Ashton) Erickson, Kaylie (Lucus) Anderson, and Ellie Auth; nephew, Cody Manders; great niece, Remi Anderson; great nephews, Finley Erickson and Bennett Anderson; and grandmothers, Bernetta Browen and Mary Jean Auth. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
He is preceded in death by grandfathers, George Schleicher, LeRoy Browen, and Joseph Auth; grandmother, Virginia Schleicher; aunt, Julie Schleicher; and brother, Jacob Schleicher.
We will always remember his strength, quick wit, and the smile on his face!

Hi Jerry,
My condolences to you and your family and am sorry for your loss. Your memories of your beloved son will never fade.
Jerry and Family:
I am saddened to learn of Nathan’s passing. I was fortunate to have been one of Nathan’s teachers back in the 90s. He truly represented a microcosm of the way the world should be. I remember his joyful nature and the respect he always shared. Teachers go into teaching because of students like Nathan. And Jerry, thank you for being one of those students during my first year of teaching at Cambridge Junior High School. You were the perfect model for Nathan.
Blessings,
Robert J. Salo
