Windsor Obituary: Austin Nagy, 33

Austin David Nagy, 33, of Windsor, beloved husband of Amanda (Garthwaite) Nagy and loving father of Roland Joseph Nagy, passed away on Friday, October 28, 2016.

Born in Hartford on July 28, 1983, son of David Nagy and Linda Benoit, he was raised in Windsor and was a graduate of Windsor High School, Class of 2001, where he played on the school's lacrosse team. After high school, Austin continued his education at Baran Institute of Technology and graduated in 2005 with a focus in commercial refrigeration.

In his spare time, he enjoyed being in the great outdoors. Whether it was boating in Maine, hiking Mount Katahdin, skeet shooting, or taking his snowmobile on trips to Vermont, he loved nature and sharing these experiences with his family and friends. Most of all, he enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, playing with his son, listening to the blues, talking on the phone to those closest to him and sitting on his snowmobile and staring at the starry sky on a clear winter's night.

Austin was an avid sports fan and enjoyed playing basketball and watching his favorite team, the Boston Celtics. His sense of humor was his trademark, always making those around him laugh. He was incredibly hard working and took pride in his work and in his home, always making sure that his yard was just perfect. He found his true calling in being a father; he was patient, loving, silly and completely devoted to his son, whom he named after his beloved Pepere.

Besides his loving wife Amanda (Garthwaite) Nagy, and son, Roland Nagy, he leaves his parents, David Nagy of East Hartford and Linda Benoit of Windsor; his stepfather, Robert Murray of East Windsor; a sister, Jocelyne Nagy of Windsor; a brother, Hunter Murray of Windsor; his nephew, Rorik Nagy; his uncle, George Nagy and his wife Sue of Windsor; his aunt, Joyce Burkhart of Granby; his father and mother-in-law, Robert and Nancy Garthwaite; his sister-in-law, Maegen Garthwaite and her boyfriend Kyle Casey of Middletown; many close friends; and his faithful companion, Hazel.

His family will receive friends on Saturday, November 5, 10 a.m.-12 Noon, followed by a memorial service at 12 Noon, at The Lodge Community Chapel, 130 Deerfield Rd., Windsor. Burial will be private.
