Breck Michael Conner

A desire for warmer weather led Breck to Fresno, and upon graduation from Fresno State, he began working as an auto claims adjuster for Farmers Insurance because he “liked cars”. He worked for Farmers for 32 years, and still liked cars after all that time.

Breck was interested in anything automotive, especially auto restoration and design. He loved animation, art, and woodworking, and had an insatiable appetite for how things worked. He had a great interest in history, movies, and the stories behind the stories. He took pride in doing things himself and learning along the way.

As a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, Breck helped build homes in Fresno County, and served on their Board of Directors.

He had a dry sense of humor, remembered way too much information, and had a heart for rescuing dogs.

Breck is survived by his wife Debbie, dog Sadie, parents Irwin and Jessie Conner, brother Craig Conner (Nicole), brother Barry Conner (Shari). He was preceded in death by his sister Carrie Conner. He is also survived by brother-in-law Scott Hebner, brother-in-law Doug Foley (Karyn), nephews Mitchell Hebner, Eric Conner, Joshua Conner and Matthew Foley, nieces Danielle Conner and Erynne Fore.
