Connor Mantsch Obituary

Connor O'Loughlin Mantsch

In Loving Memory of The Best Son & Brother







Connor O'Loughlin Mantsch left us on July 26, 2012, while on a trip with one of his best friends, Connor Porter, and Connor's dad, Pat Porter.

Albuquerque experienced a great loss of all of them that day, and we were given a different life without Connor than we could ever have imagined.

Connor was a shining light in the world.



He truly lived his 14 years beautifully and taught all of us so much about love, laughter, patience, sports, music, and our natural world.

We extend his light, endless curiosity, huge heart, and beaming smile in the world every day through how we live.



On this 10-year anniversary, we miss you beyond

expression and love you dearly.

We are so blessed to be your mom and sisters.

We will never forget how the Albuquerque

community held up our two families.



Please always remember them

and carry on their stories.



Shari, MacKenzie, & Erin
