Connor’s life was filled with dreams, kindness, and limitless potential — a spirit we are determined to honor. Connor was a bright young man with a big heart and a personality that could light up any room. He was kind, trusting, and deeply compassionate — a reflection of the safe and supportive environment in which he was raised.
He excelled academically, making the honor roll, and like many of his peers, faced challenges during the COVID pandemic, including missing his college graduation ceremony — a moment he had worked hard to achieve. That loss weighed heavily on him.
Connor loved sports, playing baseball, basketball, and football — football being his greatest passion. After graduating from St. Francis High School in Alpharetta, Georgia, his love for fitness continued, and he found a second home in the gym.
He also had a deep appreciation for cars. His own car was immaculate — fitted with a top-of-the-line stereo — and he dreamed of opening his own auto center one day to help other car lovers customize their vehicles.
“He lit up every room he walked into.”
Connor was full of life, filled with dreams, and overflowing with potential.
On the night he was killed, Connor was targeted by two individuals who had been preying on others in the community for over a year. They saw in Connor a trusting soul — someone they could take advantage of.
Connor believed they were friendly. Their intentions were anything but.
Their actions were deliberate, senseless, and violent. After the murder, they attempted to erase the evidence:
cleaning their car, changing their appearance, and deleting the social media accounts they used to lure Connor.
Then, they returned to their lives — going to school, playing sports, and partying as if nothing had happened.
“He trusted them. They betrayed that trust.”
Justice for Connor means holding those responsible accountable — but it also means looking at the bigger picture. It means examining the school athletic programs that recruited individuals who had no connection to the community and no regard for its values.
It means demanding oversight and accountability for how student-athletes are brought into school systems and ensuring that character and community safety are never sacrificed for trophies. It means calling on teachers, coaches, and administrators to speak up and act when behavior patterns signal danger.
Most of all, it means preventing this from happening to another family.
“We can’t change the past. But we can fight for a safer future.”
Connor’s story is a call to action. It’s not just about his life, or his loss — it’s about what we can do together to ensure this never happens again.
Help us honor Connor by pushing for real reform. Let his legacy be the catalyst for change.
