 Our dearest friends, John and CJ Opdam, recently lost their son Connor on Friday, September 11th 2026, in a tragic accident.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Connor was only 23 years old when he lost his life on Eastport Drive, just under the Burlington Skyway Bridge. He was doing what he loved, riding his motorcycle on a beautiful day.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 At that moment, John and CJ’s life changed forever. No parent should have to bury their children. This pain is simply indescribable, and their grief is beyond comprehension.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Connor was a kind, loving, and thoughtful young man. He graduated from Mohawk College, and just obtained his certification as an aviation technician. He had his whole life ahead of him.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Connor, along with his big brother, Chance, are John and CJ’s world. Unfortunately, this tragedy left them unprepared.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 As with most 23 year olds, Connor did not have a will or financial preparedness. To help cover the funeral costs and other related expenses, we created this GoFundMe.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Any contribution, no matter the amount, would mean the world to John and CJ.
