Passing of a Young Athlete – October 2025

Our Judo Sask community is grieving once again after the heartbreaking loss of a young judoka. On October 18, 2025, we lost Nathaniel Russell Lyons Burton (Nate) — a beloved member of our judo family.  Nathaniel Russell Lyons Burton

As shared by his family, Nate passed away at just 21 years old. He was dearly loved and will be forever remembered for his compassion, wit, and the joy he brought to everyone around him.

This loss deeply impacts not only members of the Shinmura and University of Regina Judo communities, but also creates a profound ripple across our entire province. Nate was a dedicated High Performance team member for many years and an integral part of the Battleford Judo community. His presence, energy, and friendship touched so many lives.

We are a strong and connected judo family, and now more than ever, we must come together to support one another — on and off the mats.

With heartfelt sympathy.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Pense Town Hall, 300 Brunswick St, Pense, SK, this Saturday, November 29, 2025 at 1:00 p.m.
