Conner was born on Aug. 2, 2004, in Warrensburg, Missouri, to Christopher and Amy Jo (Lossman) Shippy.
He was in the seventh grade at Crest Ridge Middle School.
Conner was always full of life. He never knew a stranger, and loved to be around his family and friends, making them laugh. He was caring, considerate, and genuine and was rarely seen without a smile on his face. He loved to hunt, fish, ride ATVs and be outdoors at every opportunity. He looked up to his two older brothers and enjoyed working with them during the summer months.
Conner is survived by his father, Christopher Shippy and his fiancée, Lisa Hood and her children, Kaylee, Katelynn and Kristen Jones; mother, Amy Jo Shippy, her partner, Beau Piper, and his two children, Nathan & Kaylin Piper; brother, Brandon Shippy; brother Trevor Shippy and his girlfriend, Tiara Thomas; grandparents, Jean Shippy and Ron & Becky Lossman; great-grandmother, Carmen Shippy; and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Jim Shippy and great-grandfather, Glenn “Pa” Shippy.
Memorial contributions are suggested to the Conner Shippy Memorial Fund. Checks may be made to Amy Jo Shippy and can be left in care of the funeral home.
