Raymond Nze Obituary

On Saturday 11/18/23 Dr. Raymond Nze of Owings Mills, MD passed away with his family by his side. He is survived by his wife Blessing, son Amadi, and daughters Ellah and Ladi. For nearly 40 years Dr. Nze served the Baltimore community as a private practicing physician. Immigrating to the U.S. from Nigeria in the early 1970s, he completed his undergraduate degree at The University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Upon graduating he earned his Masters of Public Health at Tulane University and medical degree from St. George's University. Dr. Nze was passionate about his community and truly loved serving his patients. Never one to turn away someone in need, Dr. Nze selflessly volunteered countless hours of his time and services to help his community. When he wasn't practicing medicine, Dr. Nze loved spending time with family, tennis and cheering on the Baltimore Ravens.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to The Dr. Raymond Nze Foundation.

Dr. Nze was a wonderful and amazing doctor he always talked about his family and he always took the time to listen to his patients. I remember I had an asthma attack so bad one time and had to be hospitalized. Dr Nze wasn't even on call but the on call doctor called him to let him know what was going on he was at a wedding with his family on his way home he came to the hospital to check on me to make sure I was doing ok and to assure my family that everything was going to be ok with me. If you ever had an appointment with him you always had to arrive early because his office was always full. I'm just learning of his passing as I recently moved back to MD a few months ago. There are not many doctors like Dr. Nze anymore out there who would actually take the time to listen to their patients and to know what's really going on with them. May he continue to rest in eternal peace.

I'm so sorry to hear about Dr Nze. He was my friend and my doctor but I live in Vegas so I literally just found out he has passed. I'm heart sick. He was the best doctor ever that truly loved being a doctor. I used to babysit Ella & Amadi when they were little babies. He spoke very fondly of his wife Blessing...and knowing him for over 35 years...this woman was a Blessing for sure!!!! He will be very missed. RIP my friend---Until we meet again!!! Love-Kim

This was a terrible shock to me. I have been seeing Dr. Nze for approximately 15 years. He was thorough, passionate and truly caring. Whenever I didn´t have money for my visits, and was hesitant in making an appointment, Dr Nze will have me come in anyway. I will truly miss him. Condolences to his family and may his soul rest in eternal peace.
