Conrad was born in Florien, La., on June 21, 1934, to Jessie James and Annie Mae Hopkins Corley. After attending high school in Florien, he joined the U.S. Air Force in 1951. Conrad married his high school sweetheart, Lunell Davis Corley, on Aug. 6, 1955. They were blessed with two children, Cindy and Paul.

Upon retiring from the Air Force Fire Department in 1975, he joined the U.S. Civil Service Fire Department until his final retirement in 2000. His military career took him around the world, from the U.S. to England, Germany, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. Conrad and Lou loved every new assignment throughout his career. Life then led him to another fun and enjoyable job, working for the Texas Rangers as an usher. He came to know everyone who sat in his section at each ballgame.

Conrad was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers, Cody Quinton Corley and James K. Corley.
