Nathan John Socha

Nathan John Socha passed away peacefully on August 11th, 2025, at his home in Cudahy, WI. Nathan was born on February 14th, 1980, to Terry and Rita (nee Cantwell) Socha in Kenosha, WI. He is survived by his parents, Terry and Rita, as well as many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Nathan had a special fondness for his god-child Gabriel, Lily, and little Anthony. Nathan is preceded in death by his grandparents, Frank and Olga (nee Sekey) Socha and John and Vera (nee Hall) Cantwell-Eagleson.

 He attended Forest Park Elementary School, Mckinley Junior High, and graduated from Tremper High School in 1998. Attending Gateway Technical School, he pursued a degree in Graphic Design. Nathan had been employed at Quad Graphics as a Master Operator for 20 years.

Nathan developed a love for nature, wildlife, and the serenity of “Higher Grounds”, his parents’ property in Green Lake. He shared this passion of pheasant and duck hunting with his American water spaniel, Lucy, and his chocolate lab, Luke.

Nathan was a kind-hearted gentle soul, a loyal friend to many, a conscientious worker, and a loving son.

A celebration of life will be determined at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family wishes for memorials to go to Children’s Wisconsin for research on heart disease in Nathan’s honor.

A special thank you to Anthony, Bryan, Mike, and Brett, for their devoted friendship.
