With broken hearts, we share that our sweet Connor has passed away.
Connor was only 14 years old, but he was one of the most remarkable young men we have ever known. He was wise beyond his years, endlessly curious, and loved learning more than anyone we have ever met. Whether he was talking about history, reading a new book, sharing his love of Star Wars, listening to Project Hail Mary, spending time with animals, or making memories with his friends and family, Connor approached life with a depth and appreciation that inspired everyone around him.
Connor wasn't the loudest person in the room, but somehow he always stood out. He had a quiet way about him that drew people in. Through his politeness, his silliness, his kindness, and his thoughtful nature, he left an impression on everyone lucky enough to know him.
Over the past year, it has been one of the greatest privileges of our lives to know Connor and walk alongside his family. We shared moments together that we will carry in our hearts forever. Connor changed us. He changed the way we look at courage, the way we value time, and the way we love one another.
Our hearts are shattered for his parents and amazing grandparents as they face the unimaginable loss of their precious boy and friend.
If you would, please keep Connor's family and friends very close to your hearts in the days and weeks ahead. Pray for strength when they feel they have none left, for comfort in the midst of unbearable heartbreak, and for gentle moments of peace as they learn to navigate this world without him.
Thank you, Connor, for letting us be a small part of your story. We will never forget your brilliant mind, your kind heart, your love of learning, and the joy you brought to so many.
You are deeply loved, and you always will be. 🎗️🩶 🪽
