Born in England on October 11, 1991, Natan Lailari lived a vibrant life, brimming with adventure, discovery, and celebration. A passionate traveler, Natan journeyed to all 50 U.S. states and traveled extensively across the globe, including to Israel, Thailand, China, Mexico, India, Ghana, and much of Europe.

Throughout his life, Natan defied categorization and proved to be a true all-rounder. At George Mason High School (now Meridian High), Natan was a scholar-athlete, competing in cross country, swimming, wrestling and soccer. He served as student body president, and graduated with an international baccalaureate (IB) diploma. He went on to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Science and minors in Physics and Mathematics, setting him up for future software engineering roles at Google and Spring Inc. Fueled by boundless creativity and imagination, Natan also founded a startup called Moksha. Whether in camaraderie, work ethic, or competition, Natan stood out for his laid-back charm, intense focus, bold originality, and effortless grace.

To those who knew and loved him, Natan was whip-smart, philosophical, and deeply thoughtful. Conversations with Natan ranged from the profound to the everyday, always full of insightful questions. But it wasn’t just his intellect that stood out, Natan lit up every room. He was magnetic, charming, and hilarious. He loved hiking and nature, sports, food and art, as well as music and dancing. Natan believed life should be enjoyed lavishly, often looking to treat himself and others to a memorable experience. His life was marked by wonder, connection, curiosity, laughter, and a fierce love for his family and friends.

Natan is survived by his parents, Stefani and Guermantes, brother Ze’ev (Maddie Weiner), sister Aliza (Lyle Sweet), and many uncles, aunts, and cousins who all loved him dearly.

A memorial service will be held Tuesday, July 8, 2025, 12pm-1pm EDT at the King David Memorial Gardens, Area 45 (7482 Lee Highway, Falls Church, VA) . In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the charity of your choice, in honor of Natan.
