Conner James Anderson

He had the biggest heart and love for all. He has left us with that. He had a great love of hockey, especially the Pittsburgh Penguins and Team Canada. His love for hockey was only rivalled by time spent playing Xbox with his family and his online gaming friends who became family. His Favorite games being Apex and Call of Duty and when the mood struck, Minecraft. He really loved spending time with Mom and Dad and his siblings watching movies or sports of any kind.

He brought light to any room with his smile. He will be forever loved and always missed. Conner is survived by his parents James and Rachelle Anderson, siblings Jayden, Mya, Dalton (Beth) and Koda, Grandparents Doug and Dwanna Anderson, Mariette Mercier (Paul Johnson), the late Doug Mathieu, Great Grandfather Gerald Collings (late Janet Collings), Aunts and Uncles Katie Anderson, Chrissy Lendrum (Derek), Shane Anderson (Nicole), Susie Bibeau (Lee), Kim Sharpe (Ryan), Jenn Mathieu (Jordan), cousins Nate Lendrum, Hayden Anderson, Darian and Seth Stong, Macie and Maverick Sharpe and Olton Hayden.
