Conner Russell DeHart

Conner Russell DeHart, age 29, of Loudon, passed away on December 26, 2025. He was born on March 24, 1996, to Kristi Hawkins DeHart and Billy DeHart.

Conner had a heart that was bigger than most and cared deeply for the people in his life. Whether through a kind word or a shared laugh, he had a way of making people feel seen and valued. He found joy in the simple things, like time at the beach, listening to music, fishing, landscaping with his mom, and being with family and friends.

Like many, Conner faced personal struggles that affected the course of his life, but those challenges don’t define the goodness within him or the person he was beyond those struggles.

Conner was preceded in death by his great-grandfather Jim McCrary; great-uncle Freddie McCrary; great-grandparents Grover and Johnnie McCrary; grandmother Wanda Hoffman; uncle Michael Miller; great-aunt Sunday Lambert; and great-grandparents Sue and Paul (“Baldy”) Hawkins.

Conner is survived by his mother, Kristi; his father, Billy; his girlfriend, Megan, and her daughter, Mabry; brother Wyatt DeHart; brother David (Ashlee) Berry; grandparents Judy and John Kennedy; grandparents James Paul and Sandra Hawkins; grandfather Ken Hoffman; nephews Roland and Avery Berry; aunt Britani Paramo; aunt Jessica H. (Josh) Green; uncle Jamey (Rachel) Hawkins; great-aunt Suzette (Raymond) Riley; and many cousins and friends who will carry his memory forward.

The family will receive friends on Friday, January 2, 2026, from 5:00–7:00 p.m. at Loudon Funeral Home, with a funeral service to follow. Those who knew and loved him are invited to gather and honor his memory.
