From his first struggling breath to his last, Conner brought love, joy, and peace to everyone he came into contact with. While he couldn’t say much with words, he spoke volumes through his zest for life, facial expressions, vocalizations, and laugh.

Conner had the best laugh. He loved running people over with his wheelchair, playing catch, listening to the toilet flush, and any bodily sounds—especially farts! His laugh was infectious and could lighten any mood.

If you had the opportunity to know and interact with him, you have been blessed. If you had the opportunity to hear about or observe him, you have been blessed. And if you didn’t have the opportunity to meet him, we hope you will take the time to learn about him and the way our Father in Heaven used Conner to spread His love, and be lifted as we have been.

Conner’s family will miss him terribly, especially his parents, Brian and Susann; his brothers, Ian and Sean; his sisters-in-law, Danielle and September; his nephews, Roger and Scotty; and his niece, Callie. His niece Lillian has the blessing of meeting him in heaven before joining us here on earth. His grandparents, Richard and Betty Mills; all of his aunts, uncles, and cousins; and many dear friends will also miss him deeply.

Family members who preceded Conner and joyfully welcomed him to his heavenly home include his grandparents, Floyd and Phyllis House, and his favorite aunt, Alisha.

Conner defied the odds and blessed the people of this world for 30 wonderful years. He came into this world early, and he left it early, and we are grateful for every blessed minute we had with him!

Thank you to the Garden City ambulance crew, the Logan Regional Hospital medical staff, and anyone who has cared for Conner. We will forever be grateful for the love and care you gave.
