Conor was born in Denver, Colorado on April 25, 1991.
Conor grew up in Castle Rock, Colorado and attended Douglas County High School, where he excelled in sports and went on to play football at Western State University in Gunnison, Colorado. In 2014, Conor was officially off the market. He met the love of his life Blair Laing. The 2 were inseparable! Conor and Blair loved to hike, camp, kayak, fish, and hunt, but his sense of direction (which came from his dad’s side of the family) and Blair’s persistence to find a turkey got them lost in the woods on occasion.
After 8 years of dating Conor and Blair tied the knot and started their family. Years of nagging paid off; we finally got the gift of a lifetime “Piper James”! Life finally all made sense to Conor. Even though his time on earth as a father was short, it brought an unimaginable amount of joy to him. He was exactly where God wanted him to be.
On September 3, 2023, the world lost a husband, father, son, grandson, brother, uncle, and friend. Conor is survived by his wife, Blair Cassidy and their precious baby girl Piper; his parents, William and Kelli Cassidy, Royce and Karyn Bane; his sisters, Sheigh, Aryn, and Calli; his brothers, Cooper, Joe and Michael; his grandparents, John and Valorie Wells; aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and fur babies Athena and Liam.
Conor’s memorial service will be held in Evergreen, Colorado on September 16th at 11 am, at the residence of his Mimi and Grandad; Mimi and Grandad moved into this house on the day Conor was born and this is where his love for the outdoors began. Please come as comfortably and casually as you would like because Conor would want you to be able to sit and enjoy this place as much as he did.
Until the end of day.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations and contributions be made to Piper's account for the future. The family has created ones through Zelle @BlairLaing and Venmo @blairlaing. There are also QR codes posted in the comments section. The family graciously appreciates your help during this time.
