This photo was taken as we celebrated the completion of a project—one of many moments that reflected who Nathan was as a colleague and teammate.

Nathan believed deeply that “Cancer never sleeps,” and he brought that sense of urgency, discipline, and pride to everything he did. He pushed us to be better—reminding us to come early, read emails twice before sending, and always check and cross-check our work before telling the story from the data. Those lessons were not just words; Nathan lived them every day.

We will remember him for his commitment to excellence, his professionalism, and the way he held himself and others to a high standard. This moment, captured in this photo, will always remind us of his presence, his contributions, and the respect we had for him.

With deepest sympathy

My sincere condolences to Nate’s family. Nate was a joy to spend time with and enriched the lives of those around him. Nate was kind, honest, helpful, and a good friend. His service to those in his community and country will not be forgotten.

So many friends will miss you. You were a true gentleman and a unique badass. The world will not be the same without you.

He made us laugh and his passing makes me cry. Love you Natan, rest in peace  brother.

Nathan was a great man, always happy bringing joy to everyone around him. I will miss him dearly.

Mr. Suszanski, 

I wanted to offer my deepest sympathy on the loss of Nathan.  I worked with Nathan for several years at MD Anderson--he was truly a joy to work with.  I joined the team in 2022 and Nathan was so helpful in helping me get up to speed on the work he and the rest of the team did for our patients.  We bonded quickly over our shared service--him in the Navy and me in the Army.  

Nathan's energy and passion toward our mission was infectious.  He embodied what it meant to be of service to others in each and every interaction he had with fellow team members, partners, and those we served.  He truly loved what he did and it showed.  Nathan was always willing to go the extra mile--working to make sure our efforts were always at the top level, always reminding us of what was at stake in our mission to Make Cancer History.  In doing so he pushed us all to be our very best, something we will continue to pursue in his honor.

I am still processing, as I am sure you and your loved ones are, the loss of such an incredible individual.  Please know you and your family are in my prayers during this difficult time.

Nathan was a wonderful colleague and friend. He was always full of ideas and brought thoughtful, creative approaches to solving problems. He always greeted me (and others in our department) with a big smile, a warm hug, and encouraging words. I am deeply saddened by his passing, and want to extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Nathan’s passing. Nathan was amazing to work with here at MD Anderson. Nathan and others with the Military Veterans Connection employee network were instrumental in piecing together one of our Veterans Day events and other events. I served in the U.S. Army and we would often joke about which branch was best (always a friendly joke among military veterans), especially around the Army/Navy game time. He was very proud of his U.S. Navy service and always had great stories about his U.S. Navy diving experience. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to all.

Nathan’s passing is a profound loss, and our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and loved ones.

Nathan brought a rare combination of dedication, precision, and pride in excellence to everything he did. He lived by the belief that “Cancer never sleeps,” and he pushed himself, and all of us, to meet that urgency with focus, accountability, and continuous improvement.

I will always remember his reminders: “If you come on time to meetings, then you’re late, if you come early, then you’re on time.” “Read your emails twice before you hit send.” And, “Check and cross-check your work before telling the story from the data.” These weren’t just sayings, Nathan practiced them, and he helped others rise to the same standard.

He will be deeply missed, and his impact will remain with us.

With a grieving heart,

Ajith Nair

As Nathans GodParents learned in early
Life Nathan was a fast learner.  A well educated person and as a hobby loved duck hunting.
We will miss you and God Bless you
