t is with great heartache that Kimberly Coonis and Chet Hartdegen announce the passing of their youngest son, Randall “NASH” Hartdegen, on March 1, 2019. Nash passed from a colonic seizure in his sleep that caused him to aspirate and was unable to be resuscitated. He was with his fiancée, Mariah McMannus, his father Chet and his mother Kim at the time of his passing.
Nash was an avid reptile rescue enthusiast, Transformer collector, scuba diver and loved all things military. From the time Nash was 12 years old, he spent summer months away at military training camps and eventually graduated from the prestigious Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad, California, graduating at the rank of captain. He then spent two years at the University of Idaho. Nash attended Wood River High School until he left for the Army and Navy Academy in 2012.
Nash and Mariah were engaged four weeks ago and she is devastated over the loss of her soulmate.
Nash is going to be missed horribly by the surviving members of his family: Chet Hartdegen, Kim Coonis, his brother Zac Gilstrap, grandmother Lu Larsen, aunt Kari Caruso and her family, Brian, Kassidy, Bailey and Coby Caruso, and by his adopted siblings, Ostin Arters and Shalyssa Thelan.
We will be holding a celebration of Nash’s life on Saturday, March 9, from 1–4 p.m. at our private home in Nampa, 411 E. Locust Lane, Nampa, Idaho.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you please donate to our family 501(c)(3) rescue so that we can continue to care for the animals and reptiles that Nash loved.
