							 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

 His hobbies included going on mission trips to build 
							housing for the underprivileged and for many years

							many leagues with his son, Evan. He also enjoyed the

							over a decade before succumbing to complications 
							related to his ailment.
