Nathaniel "Nate" Tensley, 65, of Palatka entered the sunset of life on Tuesday, October 21, 2014 at his residence. A native and lifelong resident of Palatka, he was the son of Mary Lou Nelson and Walter Tensley, Sr., born on Thursday, May 19, 1949. He was a 1968 graduate of Central Academy High School. He was formerly employed at Putnam Community Medical Center and subsequently as a pipe fitter and maintenance driver at Price Brothers, Inc. (1980-2012). Nate truly loved his church and pastor as he worshipped the Lord at God's Manna Ministries of Palatka under the leadership of Pastor Sheila J. McCoy. While being an avid sports fan, Facebook quickly became his favorite past-time.
