Nathaniel “Nate” Leonard Conn passed away on Sunday, Dec. 28, of sudden cardiac arrest while on a family trip. The Owings Mills resident was 33.
A 2015 graduate of McDaniel College with a bachelor’s degree in history, Conn worked in nonprofit data management. He interned at the National Alliance on Mental Illness Metropolitan Baltimore and the Kadampa Mediation Center-Maryland in North Baltimore.
Among his passions were technology, environmentalism and soccer. He played for the Pikesville Travel Soccer Club and the Shoshana S. Cardin High School varisty soccer team.
“His loved ones will always remember the gentle strength with which he persevered without complaint through years of treatment for his significant psychiatric illness,” his family wrote on the website of Sol Levinson & Bros. “Every weekend, rain or shine, foul or fair, you could find him in Baltimore’s Patterson Park, playing pickup soccer.”
Nate Conn is survived by his parents, Barbara (nee Shulbank) and Lawrence Conn; his brother, Zachary Conn (Amelia Hawkins); and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
He was predeceased by his grandparents, Mildred and Irving Shulbank, and Andrew and Elinor Conn.
