Mr. Conner was an electrical journeyman NIPSCO for 11½ years and was capable of repairing just about anything. He cared deeply for his NIPSCO family. He was an avid hunter and NASCAR fan. He was well-known as a practical joker and recently demonstrated how he could “bust a move.” He enjoyed walkabouts with his grandchildren on the family farm. Most of all, he was compassionate, giving of himself, and loving towards others. We will miss him beyond comprehension. Our Bryan fought the biggest fight of his life for two years - all the while as selfless as he was; his only concern throughout his illness was his wife, children, and grandchildren.

Visitation will be from 3 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 27, at Frain Mortuary in Winamac. The funeral service will be at 11 a.m., Thursday, Dec. 28, at the funeral home with Chaplain Tim Lee officiating. Burial will be at Mt. Zion-Franklin Twp. Cemetery in Winamac.

Memorial donations may be made to the family for a memorial bench to be placed at the town park.
