Nicholas Sung Obituary

Brattleboro - On April 5th 2021, Nicholas 'Niko' Sung passed away in Brattleboro, Vermont, at the age of forty-four. He was born November 12th, 1976 in New Jersey, the son of Bing Sung and Kathryn Lavely.

Nicholas graduated from Brooks School in North Andover MA in 1995 where he was on the wrestling and football teams. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1999 with a degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. He worked in finance as an options trader in Philadelphia and Chicago. In 2008, he moved to Vermont and worked for the Grafton Village Cheese Company in marketing and management. Recently, he earned a master's degree in Teaching for Social Justice from Marlboro College. Outside of work he was ever passionate about continually learning and doing in the arts, cuisine, technology, and culture.

Nicholas will be remembered for his warmth, his affectionate wit, his interests in painting, cooking, reading, and all the gifts he shared with bravery and perseverance even through more than two decades of adversity with syringomyelia and related illnesses.

Nicholas is survived by his mother Kathryn Lavely Merriam, his stepmother Robin Heald Sung, his sister Lilian Merriam Wilcox, and his brothers Zachary Sung, Max Sung, and Henry Merriam. His niece and six nephews will also dearly miss their Uncle Nick, and his extended family and dear friends will fondly remember his humor and huge heart. Nicholas was predeceased by his father Bing Sung and his stepfather E. William Merriam.

A memorial service for Nicholas will be delayed until people can safely assemble. The family will notify via this publication and social media in the future when a service is scheduled.
