Nathaniel (Nate) Louis Meyer

January 19, 2026

CHARLOTTE – Nathaniel (Nate) Louis Meyer passed away, surrounded by family, on Monday, January 19, 2026, in Charlotte, NC.  He battled cancer with the same strength, courage, humor, and optimism that were his signature traits. (Not everyone could joke about the beautiful shape of their head following chemo-induced hair loss!)

Nate was born in Perry County, MO on July 8, 1979, the oldest of four.  He attended Southeast Missouri State University, then earned his MBA from the University of San Francisco, where he had the honor of delivering the commencement speech.  His wife, Angela, was by his side for this achievement and many more during their twenty-four years of marriage.  During this time, they were blessed with two children whom Nate adored.  He made sure to have special time with each of them and cherished their talks together.  He also loved seeing them develop their talents, helping them grow however he could, including offering his expert coaching skills.

Nate took this same care with his colleagues at TCP Analytical and thrived on creating growth opportunities for so many members on his team.  And though he held the title of President, no job was ever beneath him—he’d help where needed and made sure to connect with everyone on a first-name basis.

Nate attended St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Charlotte and loved to hit the road on his bicycle or spend some quiet moments fishing.  And no matter where he lived in the country or how many times, they broke his heart, his undying support was reserved for the St. Louis Cardinals and Blues.

He was a force for good in this world, and his loved ones will continue to carry forward his light.  

Nate is survived by his wife, Angela (Wodraska); daughter, Charlotte (15); son, Sam (13); parents, Ronald and Sharee (Moll) Meyer; brother, Michael; sisters, Angela Ettling and Elissa Chausse; dog Kona, and many aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 3016 Providence Rd, Charlotte, NC.  A eulogy will be offered by the family prior to the service at 10:50 AM.  The service will be livestreamed through the church website at: https://stgabrielchurch.org/livefunerals.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Families Forward Charlotte, P.O. Box 470436, Charlotte, NC 28247 or the Humane Society of Charlotte, 1348 Parker Dr, Charlotte, NC 28208.

Arrangements are in the care of Kenneth W. Poe Funeral & Cremation Service, 1321 Berkeley Ave., Charlotte, NC 28204; (704) 641-7606.  Online condolences may be shared at www.kennethpoeservices.com.

    As an employee of TCP Analytical's daughter companies I only met Nate once, but from just that one interaction I could tell he was an extremely down-to-earth guy. He really set an authentic and humble example of how to work with others. Despite the stark difference in our positions, he took the time to introduce himself with a handshake and an honest compliment. I wish I was able to work with him more. My thoughts and condolences are with you, your, family, friends, and everyone who has been touched by Nate. Rest In Peace.

    Man…. Nate was one of my favorite people. We had a lot of good times together working projects and misc items for TCP and would always be laughing whether it was something random like the Monster and relic horror films gathering at the hotel we were at, or something that just blew our minds at work that day that would make us laugh into the night. The thing I will miss most is the joking around, and our friendship. Thanks for being there for me through thick and thin, I’ll forever remember you! See you on the other side dear friend.

    Nate hired me 3 years ago. He said my resume stood out to him. When I first met him in person, I knew he was a man of dedication and greatness. He was easy to talk to and would help you any way he could. To his wife and children I offer my deepest sympathies. I'm going to miss Nate. He was truly one of the great ones.

    Nate was a truly great man and he will be deeply missed. Although my time working with him was more “remote” than what others were fortunate to experience, I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him as his Canadian colleague. Nate always carried himself with pride, confidence, and a genuine care for those around him. With me, we connected easily as teammates and loved to compete while having fun and tackling new challenges together. I had the chance to see him in person several times over the years and we always enjoyed our time together. When he shared his diagnosis with me, I (like so many others) was amazed by his positive energy and the strength with which he approached the immense challenge ahead of him. I had known him as an extremely committed and hardworking man before, but watching him persevere over the past year made a profound impact on me personally. His love for his family and his dedication to those he worked with were always clear, and they remained at the center of who he was throughout his battle. I will always consider myself incredibly grateful to have had the chance to know him. Nate may be gone now, but he will never be forgotten. May he RIP.

    Watching Nate work was humbling. He had a calm, efficient way of doing important things without ever making them feel heavy. He asked thoughtful questions, offered steady advice, and taught lasting lessons about focus, understanding people, and letting go of perfection. I’m deeply grateful for his mentorship, and his influence continues to shape how I show up every day.

    I met Nate during my interview process with TCP back in August in Charlotte. It was obvious from the first five minutes how much he cared about TCP, its employees and its customers. His passion and commitment to the business were one of the reasons I decided to join the company. While we only worked together for a short time, his optimism was contagious. I have heard many stories from members of the team about how Nate positively impacted their lives and wish we would have had more time to work together. My thoughts are with his wife, kids, family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. I wish you peace and comfort.

Nate will be remembered with great fondness and deeply missed by all.

    My personal sympathy to Nate's family at his untimely passing.
    Whenever he was making the rounds to the various companies of the TCP umbrella Nate would always take the time to get to know us here. He would simply say hello, and ask how everything was going, did we need anything, and offer that warm smile. It made you feel that you belonged and that you mattered. More importantly, it spoke of the kind of person that Nate was. I could tell that he was confident and genuine. He was friendly and took the time to share that. If those are rare qualities these days, then Nate was one of the fortunate ones. May he go triumphantly to his reward, and may God bless his family.

    Oh Nathaniel, may your soul rest in peace. My deepest condolences to your family, you are all in my prayers. I will truly miss our joking sessions… well, more like me joking and you looking at me like I was crazy, lol. I’m grateful I could make you laugh every time you came to Tangram, because you absolutely deserved those moments of laughter, especially being here. You will be deeply missed. May you rest in peace.

    It's not often that you meet someone that is as passionate about their life outside of work as they are about their work life. Nate was that rare breed. He was one of the hardest working people I've ever known, but he found time to work even harder at being a father, husband, brother, son, and friend. Coaching Sam's baseball team, baking with Charlotte, date nights with Angela, and even picking at his siblings like a true big brother, all while working 12 hours a day...Nate was amazing! What I'll miss the most is our late-night and weekend texts about what cut of meat we were grilling or smoking. Jada and I offer our deepest condolences to his family. Nate will always have a special place in our hearts.
