Connor Dale Holcomb

1998 - 2021

Connor Dale Holcomb, 22, Meridian, died at approximately 9:15pm, Wednesday, May 19 from blunt force trauma due to a motor vehicle accident involving a drunk driver. His vehicle was struck by a semi-truck, the driver of which ran a red light, at the intersection of state Highway 55 and State Street.

Connor was born on November 16, 1998 in Greenbrae, CA. He spent most of his life in Idaho and graduated from Kuna High School in 2017. Growing up, he was active in organized sports including football and wrestling. His first job was working as a ski instructor at Bogus Basin, where he enjoyed working with the younger kids and introducing them to one of his favorite pastimes. He worked as a heavy equipment operator, helped on the family cattle ranch, and had started his own cattle herd.

Connor loved the outdoors and being in the mountains, especially riding ATVs in the hills of Lowman with his dad, Denny. He looked forward to hunting season and special memories created with his stepdad, Darren, and brother, Colter. He loved the ocean and boating on mountain lakes, including Payette Lake, Cascade Reservoir, and Red Fish Lake.

Connor loved all animals, especially Niki, his german shepherd, and Remi, the chocolate lab he shared with his girlfriend, Skylar. He also shared a love of horses with his mom, Hillary, sister, Terrace, Ama Ellen, and Bompa Randy.

Connor was a rock. He was a hard worker, fearless and physically strong, but had the kindest of hearts. He would lay with a sick calf all night long, be on hand to saddle the horses for his mom and brother and sister, and never said no to any request. He spent as much time as possible in Lowman, helping with projects, playing games, and hanging out at the campfire with Grandma Karen and Grandpa Bill, Grandpa Dale, Great Grandma Evelyn, and the rest of the Lowman crew.

He is survived by his mother and stepfather, Darren and Hillary Carraway, Meridian; his father, Denny Holcomb, Lowman; brother, Colter Carraway, and sister, Terrace Carraway, both still at home; girlfriend, Skylar Emmett, Meridian; maternal grandparents, Randy and Ellen Corgatelli, Challis; paternal grandparents, Bill and Karen Carlson, Meridian; great grandmother, Evelyn Pogue, Lowman; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Dale Holcomb.

Services will be held at 1:30pm, Thursday, May 27, at Deer Flat Church in Caldwell. Reverend Bill Roscoe will officiate.

Arrangements are being handled under the direction of Accent Funeral Home in Meridian.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Connor, may be made to The Walker Center in Gooding, Idaho.
