Conrad Henry Roy III was someone that anyone struggling with a mental illness can easily sympathize with. He was born on September 12, 1995 in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts and grew up with two younger sisters and his parents.
Conrad was known to be your typical well rounded teenager. From the outside looking in, he was an honor student who loved to play baseball. Outside of school, he worked with his father and grandfather for their tugboat company and Conrad was in the process of getting his Captain’s license.
In 2014, Conrad graduated high school with a 3.88 GPA and was given a scholarship to study business at Fitchburg State University in Massachusetts. However, he decided to not go down the path of pursuing college and continue working in his family’s tugboat business.
