The Queen Creek Town Council meeting on June 5, 2025, began with a heartfelt tribute to Connor, a beloved member of the community and a graduate of Queen Creek High School. Connor, who served as the school's social director, was remembered for his warm greetings and positive spirit, which touched the lives of many. Tragically, he passed away in December of the previous year, leaving behind a legacy of kindness that resonated with his family, friends, teachers, and even strangers.

During the tribute, Connor's mother, Kelly, shared how his friendly demeanor and signature greetings were fondly recalled by those who encountered him at local stores like Home Depot and Walmart. The council honored Connor's memory by inviting his family to the front, where a picture of him was displayed, and council members participated in a photo to commemorate the occasion.

Following the tribute, the meeting transitioned to committee reports, with a slide presentation outlining various updates. The council members were invited to comment on the items presented, but no further discussions were initiated on this topic.

The meeting underscored the community's deep appreciation for Connor's contributions and the impact he had on those around him, highlighting the importance of remembering and celebrating individuals who bring joy to their communities.
