‘One Life To Live’ Alum Nathaniel Marston Dead At 40

Nathaniel Marston “One Live To Live” (OLTL) soap veteran has died from injuries sustained in a car accident on October 30. Marston’s mother Elizabeth Jackson shared the sad news on Facebook.

Elizabeth Jackson shared the devastating news of Nathaniel’s passing with a heavy heart. “My beloved and cherished son, Nathaniel Marston, who was putting up the good fight until last night was not able to continue due to the traumatic and devastating nature of his injuries, Nathaniel passed away peacefully as I held him in my arms.”

Family, friends and fans took to both Nathaniel’s and Elizabeth’s Facebook pages to express their condolences. There had been hope Marston would survive – but would most likely live out his life as a quadriplegic. Elizabeth updated that information in her announcement – Nathaniel would have required a ventilator to breathe and would never be able to speak again. Mrs. Jackson went on to explain that this was a condition her son would never have been able to tolerate.

Nathaniel Marston passed away at 3:15pm PST in Reno, Nevada. “Nathaniel now lives with Father God, surrounded by peace, love and light,” Elizabeth Jackson shared. Arrangements will be made for a memorial service in New York City, Kauai, Hawaii and Gerlach, Nevada. “As soon as dates for these services are known they will be posted,” Jackson relayed.

Marston’s mother once again thanked everyone for their prayers, love, kindness and friendship – it has helped her remain strong enough to remain by Nathaniel’s side for the last 12 days of his life. Our deepest condolences to Elizabeth Jackson and Nathaniel Marston’s family and friends.

RIP Nathaniel!

“Dear family and friends, it is with a heavy heart that I share this devastating news. My beloved and cherished son, Nathaniel Marston, who was putting up the good fight until last night was not able to continue due to the traumatic and devastating nature of his injuries. Nathaniel passed away peacefully as I held him in my arms. Father William, myself and his second Mommy Lisa, and our dear friend Charlotte were by his bedside, he was not alone. His injuries, which Dr.’s did their best to heal were not responding to treatment and one after another his bodily functions failed to support his life.

Had Nathaniel lived he would have required a ventilator and would never have been able to utter one more word and would have been sentenced to life as a quadriplegic. A condition that Nate would have never have been able to tolerate. By Gods love and mercy Nathaniel was spared this living hell and has traveled on to be with God, his cherished Grandmother Mary Jackson, Grandfather John Jackson and my sister his Aunt Nora…. God is merciful and because of his mercy God ended Nathaniel’s pain and suffering at 3:15 today PST in Reno, NV. Nathaniel now lives with Father God, surrounded with peace, love and light.

Know that I am deeply grateful for all of you for taking this tragic two week journey with me Nathaniel and our family. Your unfailing support, prayers, love and positive thoughts that you have sent our way, in what has been the worst two weeks of my life, have held all of us up giving us the strength to get through each hellish day.

Arrangements will be made for a memorial service in New York City, NY, Kauai, HI and Gerlach, NV. As soon as dates for these services are known they will be posted. Again, thank you for your prayers, your love, your kindness and your friendship which has allowed me and my family to be strong enough to be by my son’s side for these past 12 days. The outpouring of your love came as an unexpected gift and I don’t know how I will repay you for all of your love, prayers and support. Thank you for sharing your love, your experiences with me about how my treasured child, a man who grew into an individual who touched more lives than I ever could have known. XOXOXOXOXOOX”
