He was born on September 8, 1948, to the late Nathaniel Alexander Carswell, Sr., and Nelle Cheek Carswell. He was a graduate of Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville and attended The University of the South in Sewanee, TN.

His warm personality and sense of humor left a lasting impression on everyone who met him.

Remaining to cherish his memory are his children, Jennifer (Roger) Daniel, John (Greta) Carswell, and Katherine Carswell; nine grandchildren, John, Roger, Brittnee, Peter, Evelyn, Abigail, Brannock, Clayton and Brennan; and a host of family and friends.

While it would be impossible to adequately express our appreciation to all of his wonderful caregivers, the family would especially like to recognize Dr. Michael Kommor and Dr. Matthew Jung for all of their work in caring for Nat in his final years.
