(For the kid’s legacy book)
Conner and about 40 other Aggies came to our house once a week during their college days for a hot, home cooked meal. Conner is our first "college family" loss. It has taken his loss for us to realize how much we were blessed during the time of "Lombardi Dinner Club". We've heard over the years how much the dinners meant to the kids, but have now realized just how much the kids meant to us.

Conner loved spaghetti and COLD milk, real cold milk!! As soon as that first glass was gone, he'd get up and say, "Can I have another glass of milk?" And every week we'd say, "Conner you can have all the cold milk you want." He was an inspiration to our high school son, who looked forward to Dinner Club every week just because Conner was going to be there. As soon as our son walked in the door from school he would ask, "Is Conner coming to dinner tonight?"

Conner loved his hats, but when he sat down at the dinner table, that hat came off his head. And it was always, "Mr. & Mrs.", "please", "thank you", "yes mam", "yes sir", but most importantly, we always knew his heart's desire was to be right with the Lord. Conner’s legacy shows by his choices and being driven by what is pleasing to the Lord, he has left a legacy that the Lord is pleased with. I’m sure the Lord said, “Well done good and faithful servant” when He opened His arms for Conner.

During every season of your life, always remember the Lord's words in Jeremiah 29, verses 11-13, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." This is how your Daddy lived.

(For Conner's kids)
I remember during the spring before your dad's senior year him coming up to me and saying that we were going to make a run at state the next year in basketball. We had just lost a bunch of good seniors from the past season, and I did not take him seriously. I thought we would be pretty good and maybe win a playoff game or two, but that is it. Your dad always saw things through a different lens though. He was fearless and he believed in other people. As a senior, he led us on a run into the Regional Finals; and he had a string of playoff performances that made him legendary. I mean, your dad could HOOP!! He always made others feel like they could achieve greatness too; and this characteristic followed him throughout his life. It's a trait I'm sure he passed along to you too!

Larry,
You have been a good friend to me, and since hearing the news about Conner my heart has been overwhelmed with grief for you. This is a monumental grief that will come in waves for some time, only assuaged by the knowledge that Conner is with the Lord. Several years ago I lost my youngest daughter at 28 years of age to a sudden and unexpected illness - so I've experienced the raw pain you are going through. I still have a special memory of the White Oak-New Boston area playoff game I called over at Texarkana when Conner was a senior in which he must have made 15 three-pointers. What a special guy. I can only tell you to hold on to your faith as the most precious commodity you have, knowing that the Lord will eventually dry your tears and reunite you.

Diane and Larry and family,

Jerry and I are praying for your family. Our hearts are aching for all of you. When Jerry and I got to the funeral home on Friday the line to get in wrapped all the way out and behind the building. We decided to come back later when the line was shorter. When we returned at 7:30 the line was still extremely long. What a huge testimony to the impact Conner had in the lives of others. Jerry and I knew Conner was a wonderful young man but we didn't have the privilege of knowing him.

I am visiting Tammy today and we were talking about Conner. She was telling me how Conner always wanted to help others and he gave away two of his vehicles to assist families in need. As many of his friends have stated, he lived a Christian life. His actions showed the love he had for others.

I pray his death will cause many to question their faith and others will come to know Christ. We have purchased 10 Gideon bibles in memory of Conner so that he can continue to spread the word of God throughout the world. We will continue to pray for your family.

With sympathy and love,

Jill and Jerry Graves & family

Larry and Diane, Since hearing the news about Conner, I just can't get your family off my mind and heart. He did so much and touched so many lives in his journey here. He lived life to the fullest and experienced many blessings in his life. Seeing the outpouring of people at the visitation and funeral was not only a testament to Conner and the man he was but also to the two of you and the amazing job you did raising such a Godly man. Diane, you told me you just fed him but you and Larry fed him in more ways than one. When he coached at WO, he coached our youngest son in the 6th or 7th grade and he just loved Conner. We will continue to pray for you and your family and Kristin and the kids. The children are each a part of Conner that I know you will help mold them into just as amazing people as you have with Conner. Praying for cherished memories and God's grace to help you through this time. Love ya'll, Allan and Lisa (Owens) Martin
