Nathan passed away suddenly, on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2020, at the age of 33.
Nathan was an active member of the U.S. Army National Guard, stationed in Ft. Bliss, Texas. He was formerly employed at the Baker Company in Twentynine Palms, Cal. He had studied law enforcement at Rasmussen College, and was now studying criminal justice at Tennessee State University.
Burrell was a veteran, having served in the military as a Marine from 2006 to 2010. He was in the infantry and served two tours of Iraq.
He was honorably discharged in 2013 and went on to receive his associate degree in criminal justice and law enforcement in 2014.
He later became a household name after appearing in two seasons 60 Days In, a documentary series aiming to uncover the injustice done to inmates behind bars.
The show followed Nate and eight others who entered jail for 2 months under assumed identities which they did of their own free will. He starred in seasons three and four of the series and was incarcerated at the Fulton County Jail.
According to his sister, Nate was proud of his participation in the show.
'Nathan loved his country, loved his family and was a very caring guy. He was just in a bad place. He was very proud of being on "60 Days In," and he really cherished his time on that show,' Walker said.
According to his biography on A&E, he was inspired to take part in the show following the arrest of his brother.
'Nate was disappointed that, while he was stationed in Iraq on one of his two combat tours, his older brother had been arrested and was facing prison time again,' his A&E biography reads.
'He believes that the Criminal Justice System should be much tougher on criminals in order to dissuade them from returning, and he argues prisons should be more militaristic and less flexible when it comes to inmate liberties.'
Burrell had been working as a Fish and Wildlife Officer in Michigan at the time of his death.
There will be a memorial celebration of life service to honor Nathan's life on Sunday, Nov. 15, at the Hopkins Community Church. The U.S. Army will conduct full military rites. The family has entrusted the Calvin Funeral Home, Hartford, with arrangements. Those wishing to leave memorial condolences for the family may do so at http://www.calvin-leonardfh.com.
