Connor was born June 26, 1996, in Jonesboro to Ron and Nan Deal. The family has lived in the area for 2½ years and are members of Amarillo South Church. Conner attended Bonham Middle School, where he enjoyed learning; he loved literature and was especially fond of fiction books.
His lifelong dream included writing and directing movies. Because of his love for "Star Wars," he wanted to be the next George Lucas and continue the "Star Wars" series. A creative writer, he had already crafted many chapters for the movie scripts. Teachers commented that he was a gifted and talented student and musician. As a hobby, Connor collected and built extravagant Legos. Connor was often described as a humble and kind child with a sweet, gentle spirit. He was sure of himself and completely comfortable with who he was and who he wanted to be. In general, Connor was a quiet person and was very loyal to his dear friends who were his age. Other dearly loved friends include church families from Jonesboro and Amarillo and his Faith Camp friends. A compassionate child, Connor loved his family and his church.
