Connor Reed Williamson

Connor was born to his mother, Diana Williamson, on April 13th, 1995 in Grand Junction, Colorado where he spent almost all of his life. Although his time was cut shorter than anybody wished, Connor lived, loved, and laughed much.

As a young boy, Connor played on many baseball, soccer, and basketball teams and he even tried his hand at bull riding, raising pigs for 4H, and dirt-biking. He loved watching animal discovery shows instead of cartoons and quickly became a verbal encyclopedia of information at a young age. His love of sports, animals, and the outdoors translated quickly to a desire and talent for hunting in the beautiful Colorado landscape.

Soon football became Connor’s focus, starting in middle school and lasting all thorough his high school career at Central High School.

Connor later went to the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology in Troy, Ohio where he became a certified welder. At the time of Connor’s passing he was working fulltime doing what he enjoyed – welding. He also had a special companion – a dog named Stella – with whom he shared a strong bond.

Those who knew him will always remember his generosity – Connor would give the shirt off his back if someone asked, his big smile, his giggle-laugh, and his zest for the fun life.

You will always be with us, Connor. Rest in Peace.

A viewing was held November 25th at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary in Grand Junction, Colorado.

A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date to spread his ashes in the mountains.

Connor is survived by: his mother, Diana Williamson, his sister, Morgan Murphy-Mannix, brother-in-law, Trevor Murphy-Mannix, and grandmother, Nancy Hall, as well and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
