Obituary
Steve Connor, 58, passed away
February 26, 2023.
Steve was born in Champaign, in November 1969. He
lived in Rantoul and Farmer City before attending
grade school in Beason and was graduated from
Lincoln Community High School. He attended Bradley
University before joining the United States Marines
where he was stationed at Camp Pendleton and Jejune.
After his honorable discharge, Steve worked at
Caterpillar in Peoria for several years. He was also
a skilled carpenter and worked on many local
construction projects.
His hobbies included going on mission trips to build
housing for the underprivileged and for many years
he was a member of Lincoln Christian Church. He was
a talented bowler and took great pride in playing in
many leagues with his son, Evan. He also enjoyed the
outdoors (including hunting and fishing) and a good
game of bags. Steve bravely combated back pain for
over a decade before succumbing to complications
related to his ailment. |
Steve is survived by his father Jerry (Beason), his brothers Bill
(Springfield), and Randy (Chicago), and his former wife Anna Seedfelt (Lincoln).
He was preceded in death by his mother, Judy, and his only son, Evan.
