Connor Parks

Our precious son, Connor, died in a tragic accident on July 14, 2025. He filled our lives with joy for 36 years.

He captured all of our hearts with his compassionate, genuine, caring, humorous and loving nature. He had a special way of lighting up a room and making us laugh. He was gentle and accepting to so many. He was artistic and had an eye for creativity.

After graduating from Colorado State University in 2011, he discovered a passion for woodworking. His unique style came through in each piece he handcrafted.

Connor had a gift for relationships and bringing people together. His friends and family were his most important possessions. He had the heart of a child: playful, fun and adventurous.

He is survived by his parents, Brent and Carol; his sisters, Kristen and Abigail; his brothers-in-law, Chris and Matthew; his adoring niece and nephews, Ruth, Noah, Levi and Asher; and his girlfriend, Ophelia. He will be missed beyond words by us all.
