Born on November 19, 1951, in Greensboro, North Carolina, Conrad lived a life marked by dedication to his family, his career, and his country.

He was the proud father of three sons: William Taylor, Brian Andrew, and Timothy Conrad Nagel, and a doting grandfather to his grandson, Connor Nagel.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Laura; his sons, William, Brian, and Timothy; his grandson, Connor; his brothers, Paul (Carol) Nagel and John (Betty) Nagel; his sister-in-law, Joyce Nagel; and his mother-in-law, Ellen Wieland.
