According to the obituary, the boys loved jumping on the trampoline together and going on hikes with their father.

“Conner was a brilliant, kind and thoughtful little boy. He was very analytical, reading whole books, writing letters, counting to 100 and reciting all the colors in Spanish,” family members wrote in Conner’s obituary.
