Conner David Nugent Obituary (2025)

Conner David Nugent From vintage cars with manual transmissions and classic rock songs as his ringtone to his final act of old fashioned chivalry, Conner Nugent was an old soul. He loved life. He was wise with quiet strength and a perspective far beyond his short 18 years. Born August 2, 2007 Conner was a product of the rugged Pacific Northwest which he loved: the mountains, valleys, and forests of opportunity. He adored the outdoors and the miracles of creation. But he was also his best when he too was creating - foods, novel mechanical hacks, and new friends. It was that synergy that he exuded when his subtle sense of humor broke through his unassuming reserved demeanor. His spirit was like a tree, with roots that ran deep and branches that offered shelter. Those roots of family and friends have been shaken by this loss. He carried a fearless strength -- the kind that took him up mountains, onto motorcycles, and climbing poles. Like the trees where he once tied his hammock as a kid, his trunk stood firm with quiet resilience and a touch of stubbornness, weathering storms while supporting others with the skills and tinkering he loved to share. His leaves, as beautiful as the Snoqualmie autumns he grew up in, brought calm confidence and renewal to everyone around him. He found joy in guiding others, passing on trades he had mastered, and helping people discover their own light. His growth and resilience took him from the soccer and baseball fields to the kitchen to the open roads on his motorcycle, and to the vision of becoming a lineman. Conner is survived by his mom ~ Ariel, dad ~ David, and brother ~ Austin Nugent of North Bend, Washington. He is now reunited and on his next forest adventure with his dear chocolate lab, Coco.
