Connor

We made the trip up to Kansas City on February 17 as Kirk's brother, Connor was in the hospital and not doing well. We made it up there that evening and Kirk was able to spend the night with all his siblings and parents at the hospital with Connor. The next day, they were able to bring him home where he passed away. We were all able to be with him and pray with him as he took his last breath.

Connor was such a special person who touched so many people with his faith. Kirk's parents have also been such a witness to Christ throughout this whole journey starting 7 months ago when Connor was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

They held the memorial service on Wednesday February 22 at St. James Academy, where Connor attended school. It was amazing to see the hundreds of people that came out and the kind words they had to say about Connor. The next morning was the funeral. It was a beautiful service in a packed church full of people that love Connor and the whole McCullough family.

While we miss Connor terribly, we know that he is in heaven and is free of the pain and suffering. Connor achieved more in his short 17 years than most people accomplish in their long lives. I know he has changed my life and brought me closer to Christ as I know he has done with hundreds of others.
