The House concurrent resolution honors the life of Nathan Suter, a beloved member of the Montpelier community who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 52. Born in the Panama Canal Zone and raised in Poughkeepsie, NY, Nathan was an accomplished long-distance runner and a dedicated artist, earning degrees in fine arts and photography. He co-founded Root Division in San Francisco, which supported artists through subsidized studios, and later moved to Vermont with his wife, Morgan Lloyd, where he became the executive director of the Current, an art center known for its innovative programming. Nathan was also deeply involved in community service, contributing to organizations like Migrant Justice and the Peace & Justice Center, and played a significant role in the Montpelier Commission for Recovery and Resilience following the 2023 flood.

The resolution expresses the General Assembly's celebration of Nathan Suter's impactful life and contributions, particularly in the fields of art, education, and community engagement. It highlights his dedication as a track and field coach, where he revitalized the program at Montpelier High School, and acknowledges the profound loss felt by his family and the community after his sudden passing while running. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies to various organizations and individuals connected to Nathan, ensuring that his legacy is remembered and honored.
