I am just now finding out about this devastating news. I cannot bring myself to believe it. I actually had a little crush on Conner, I wish I would´ve gotten the chance to tell him. He probably had so many secret admirers he never knew about. He was so loved. I didn´t have the pleasure of knowing him closely, but I can tell he was a beautiful soul who touched the hearts of many. Conner, may you rest in peace.

I had the honor of having Conner in my Royal Ambassador's class at Bonsack Baptist for several years. He was always a respectful, smart and wonderful student. Both of our boys became good friends with Conner and had many birthday parties and sleepovers through the years. Conner will be missed by our whole family, and we will continue to pray for his family.
