With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Nate Marks, a talented comedian, passionate sandwich lover, and true friend, who tragically took his own life on October 16, 2025. Nate’s loss has left a deep and painful void in the lives of all who knew him, but his memory will forever remain a source of laughter, warmth, and love.
Nate’s unique brand of humor captivated everyone who had the pleasure of hearing him perform. Whether he was on stage delivering his sharp wit or engaging in playful banter online, Nate had an incredible ability to make others laugh, even during the toughest of times. His observations on everyday life and his infectious sense of humor made him a standout performer, always leaving audiences in stitches.
Beyond his comedy, Nate’s love for food—especially sandwiches—was legendary. As an active member of the Sandwich Enthusiast Society of Pennsylvania, his posts became a highlight, full of clever hot dog puns and spirited discussions about his favorite culinary creations. His humor wasn’t just on stage; it was woven into every conversation and interaction, making him a memorable presence in the lives of those around him.
A native of Alburtis, Pennsylvania, Nate attended Emmaus High School and later made Bethlehem his home.

Nate was a true performer, lighting up every room with his laughter, enthusiasm, and the genuine kindness he showed to others.
Though Nate’s passing has left an unfillable gap in the Lehigh Valley community, his legacy of laughter, friendship, and his love for life will never be forgotten. His unique spirit, his humor, and his passion for the small things—like a perfectly made sandwich—will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and fans.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Nate, you were truly one of a kind, and you will be missed more than words can say.
