MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. (WOOD) — Homicide victim, 42-year-old Nathan Ward, was no stranger to trouble; he had a police record through 2006 that included drugs, arson and fraud.
But his family said he was now a different man — a man of faith who wanted to make the world a better place.
“He was striving to make up for anything he’d ever done and change everybody’s life that he could,” said his girlfriend Melissa Hammer, who lived with him and their blended family in Muskegon County’s Dalton Township, near Twin Lakes.
Ward grew up in the Rockford area before moving to Muskegon County, where he was days away from opening a metal fabrication business in Muskegon Heights.
