Yesterday afternoon, a driver in a Honda Odyssey van was not paying attention as they pulled out of the Walmart parking lot in Meridian, ID. They turned too wide and caused a motorcycle rider to swerve, lose control and be struck head on by oncoming traffic. The motorcycle rider was my husband, Connor. He was killed instantly. He was only 26 years old and leaves behind 2 small children.

Connor was so excited to have a new to him bike and get to start adventuring with his mother and father. He loved me and his 2 sweet boys Rhett and Tobi with his entire being! He was just settling in to a growing career and was anxiously looking towards the future with his family. He was one of a kind, had an amazing smile, an infectious laugh, and always tried to stay positive, even when life knocked him down. His death leaves a gaping hole in our hearts. Please keep us all in your thoughts as we try to figure out how to live life without him.

PLEASE, PLEASE don't drive distracted and ALWAYS be on the lookout for motorcyclists. If you don't you could end up taking the life of someone's husband, Daddy, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, co-worker and friend, like that driver did yesterday. The life of soeone who just wanted to live life, ride their motorcycle, love their family and watch their kids grow up.

We are using these funds for funeral costs, everyday living and needs for my two young boys.
