Nathan David Albury, a loving and devoted son, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away June 16, 2015.

Born in Canton on May 27, 1984, he was the son of Phillip and Suzanne (Winters) Albury.

After graduating from New Philadelphia High School in 2003 where he played football and basketball, Nathan continued his formal education at Otterbein University; ultimately obtaining his bachelor’s degree in business from Malone University in 2014. While he was working toward his degree, Nathan was employed at the Timken Company.

His faith was nurtured at Sacred Heart Church in New Philadelphia and also in Clearwater, Florida at St. Michael’s Catholic Church. There, he volunteered in a variety of capacities, especially instrumental in the creation of a young adult group. Nathan was a 2nd degree member of the Knights of Columbus. He was also a member of 4-H.

Fishing, reading, traveling, fantasy sports, and cheering on Notre Dame were all hobbies of his. Most importantly, Nathan was a loving, kindhearted young man, always willing to lend a hand to anyone he encountered. He had a wonderful sense of humor which lent to making friends easily. Nathan also enjoyed spending time with his family, and being on the water whether it was at Clearwater Beach in Florida or Atwood Lake.
