Nathan C. Shurtleff
Concord, NH – Nathan “Nate” Charles Shurtleff, 50, of Concord, New
Hampshire, passed away on September 3, 2025
Born on February 26, 1975, at University Hospital in North Olmstead,
Ohio, Nate was the beloved son of Stephen Shurtleff and Carol Thomas.
He grew up in Concord, New Hampshire, on Franklin Street, where he
continued to reside throughout his life.
Nate attended Walker Elementary, Rundlett Junior High School, and
Concord High School, where he was known for his love of sports. He
spent much of his youth playing basketball, baseball, and football,
but found his greatest passion in lacrosse. Nate went on to play
lacrosse at Plymouth State College, building friendships and memories
that would last a lifetime.
Since February 2013, he worked as an IT Support Specialist for the
Concord Hospital Health System, where his patience, knowledge, and
kind spirit touched colleagues and staff across the organization. In
addition, Nate was the founder and operator of RetirementCommunity.com,
which he launched in July 2007. Through this work, he helped countless
older adults and their families find resources and support tailored to
their needs.
Nate knew what true love was when he met the woman of his dreams,
Melanie. Their relationship was a source of joy, laughter, and
strength, and those closest to Nate saw how deeply and completely he
cherished her.
Nate had a fiery spirit and held true to his beliefs. He lived
authentically, never wavering in his values, and those around him
admired both his passion and his integrity.
He is survived by his beloved Melanie Parks; his father, Stephen
Shurtleff; his mother, Carol Thomas (Gary); his brother, Seth
Shurtleff (Suzanne); his sister, Kristie Shurtleff (Christopher); his
half-sister, Ann Marie Silvasy (Jeffery); his nephew, Alexander

Silvasy, and Kristen Silvasy. He also leaves behind many aunts,
uncles, cousins, and lifelong friends who were as close as family
especially Derek Tibbetts (Lindsay) and their sons Eli and Aiden.
Nate will be remembered for his loyalty, his humor, his love of
sports, and his gift for building connections with people from all
walks of life.

life on Thursday October 2, 2025 from 3-8PM at Pembroke Pines Country
