Conner Jay Knoblich

Conner Jay Knoblich- my life I was born on July 27, 1992 and I want you to know that I lived my life to the fullest, with my mom, dad, little sis Alicen and my little bro Sammy and my dog Jack. I wasn't the most popular or the most athletic but the friends I had were really close and they knew the real me. I might have lived only 17 years "but man they rocked"! Even though I was born with a heart defect I never let it slow me down or stop me from living an amazing life. Some of the things I got to do while I was here on this earth were traveling across the world to Austria with my friend David. I got to go to Hawaii 4 times; the last time was in November when I went with my family to celebrate my parent's 20th wedding anniversary. I got to do some sweet surfing and got up close with a sea turtle. I went to "The Happiest Place on Earth" twice with my whole family. I traveled in a motor home through 25 states in 21 days with my "Auntie Yennifer, Uncle Yohn, Jes-cus, Buddy, Gramsie and Poppy". I've been to Alaska and climbed a glacier and saw a humpback whale just before I turned over in my kayak. Some of the best times I had were at Ft. Stevens State Park and Bumping Lake, camping with my whole family. When I was 9 I got my hunting license so I could go hunting with my dad. We loved to hunt together it was our time, I am his best friend. We didn't always get something like this year elk hunting but that didn't matter to me or my "Pops" we always had so much fun. I was a senior at Kamiakan High School and in my second year at CBC in the Running Start program. So on January 3, 2010 at 2:00 am I left this earth peacefully after an awesome day spent with all the people that I love, listening to my MP3 player while I slept. My heart was tired and so full of love-it stopped beating, and I went to be with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ where my grandpa Clarence (Sam) Knoblich, my great-grandma Carolina and my cousin Sarah were waiting for me. I left knowing that I was loved by my madré Laura, my pops Carl, my sissy Alicen and my little bro Sam. My Gramsie and Poppy, Ron and Alice Hein, grandma Jan and papa Lloyd Ward, my aunts and uncles, Jennifer and John Hull, Rhonda and Kirk Saxton, Glenda and Sean Ellis, Cindy and Rich Graziano, Donna and Jr. Ramos. And I can never forget my cousins who are like my brothers and sisters, Thomas and Jessica Hull, Mackenzie Saxton, Ashley and Alisha Ellis, Tiffany Bautista, Desiree and Zach Garza and Quentin Ramos. "And to all my friends and homies, Peace Out"! Come hang with my family as they celebrate my life on Thursday, January 7, 2010 at 3:00 pm at the Hillcrest Memorial on Clearwater "and be ready to tell some sweet stories about me!" Or if you can't make it there come to the other party in Yakima on Friday, January 8, 2010 at 2:30 pm at the Wiley Union Church, 2711 S. Wiley Rd. "There will be some de-licious good eats afterwards". As Bob Marley would say "Don't worry 'bout a thing, cuz every little things gonna be alright!" "LIFE IS GOOD!"
