Connor was a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew him. He was funny, creative, kind, and endlessly imaginative. He had a gift for making people laugh, often with a perfectly timed comment or an unexpected twist that left everyone around him smiling. His friends knew him as a loyal companion, a talented storyteller, and an “agent of chaos” whose unpredictable ideas somehow always became the adventures everyone remembered most.

Connor loved gaming, history, Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars, Pokémon, and Project Hail Mary. He could spend hours building worlds, imagining stories, debating lore, or sharing his latest idea. He made every experience more memorable simply by being part of it.

A student at Oak Hall School, Connor was cherished by classmates, teachers, and staff alike. Throughout his life, he displayed a kindness and authenticity that drew people to him. He had an extraordinary ability to make others feel welcome, valued, and understood.

For nearly two years, Connor faced DIPG with remarkable courage. He endured treatments, procedures, hospital stays, and challenges that would overwhelm most adults, yet he continued to hope, dream, make plans, and find reasons to smile. His strength inspired an entire community.
