Richard Conner Obituary
Richard Brian Conner, 63, a cherished resident of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. Born on April 10, 1962, in Ventura, California, he was the beloved son of Charles Conner III and Jennifer (Hummel) Conner.
Richard's life was dedicated to his family and friends. Richard is preceded in death by his father, Charles Conner III.
He is survived by his devoted mother, Jennifer Conner, his best friend, Sheliah Radwich, his brothers, Mike Conner and Greg Conner, as well as his two adoring children, Samantha Charles and Mathew Conner. He will also be lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Mark Riley and Madilyn Conner.
A man of great spirit, Richard spent many fulfilling years working for the Teamsters Union 631, where he formed bonds with his brothers in the union that he cherished deeply. Even after retirement, he often reflected fondly on those connections. An avid outdoorsman, he found joy in fishing and boating, reveling in the beauty of nature.
In honor of Richard's life, a Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date, allowing family and friends to gather and share their memories, reflecting on the impact he made on all who knew him.
Though Richard may no longer be with us in body, his spirit will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of his loved ones. He leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and the joyous moments spent together.
