Growing up, he attended grade school, middle school, and was currently a junior at Alta-Aurelia High School.

He was a talented young man, taking on many projects, such as restoring a tractor, welding, and other repairs he could find on the farm. Conner had a contagious smile which could light up a whole room. He not only shared his smile with everyone, but he also shared his kindness and love with all of those he knew.
