HonorConnor! Please celebrate Connor’s life by doing something positive today! Look up to heaven and say, “That’s for you, Con!”
Connor earned his wings as an avid world traveler! He took a train across the country, flew to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Virginia, London, and to the roller coaster capital of the world, Cedar Point, Ohio. Connor visited over 12 amusement parks and rode over 30 different rollercoasters. His favorite coaster is Fury 325 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Connor’s dream was to be a rollercoaster design engineer.
Connor was also a sports fanatic! He bled purple and gold, swore that the Astros never cheated, and hollered Who Dat! louder than anyone. Connor was a member of the Ponchatoula Athletics baseball team. Some of his sports travels included frequent visits to Tiger Stadium, a trip to the College World series in Omaha, and a recent trip to the Peach Bowl.
Connor was an up and coming drummer who enjoyed being in the band at Mandeville Middle School and Fontainebleau Junior High School. He was also a drum student at LAPPA music academy.
Connor never met a stranger! His inquisitive nature and magnificent memory made him a walking/talking encyclopedia. His dimpled laugh would draw people in to listen to Connor’s many stories and adventures.
Connor was blessing to us! He changed our lives in so many ways! He was my sweetie-pie. He made us better people! HonorConnor!
