Anthony Connor Thompson

We realized almost immediately that Connor was special. We knew that God had sent an angel to live among us. What Connor lacked physically, God made sure he was well compensated with a beautiful and genuine smile, a sweet disposition and a personality that drew others to him. He possessed a strength and courage that only comes from God. He faced every challenge with optimism and hope, which he instilled in everyone around him. He inspired us to live life, to be grateful and appreciative and to laugh, at which he was the best. Connor found joy in things we might take for granted. He loved country music, loved the Florida beaches, delighted in messing with his brothers and adored time with friends and family, especially his nephew James and niece Addison. We take comfort in knowing his pain is gone, that he is spiritually and physically complete and that one day he will be standing tall awaiting our arrival for all eternity. Our heart will forever be touched by all the people who were on this journey with us, caring for our sweet Connor. Many thanks and appreciation to Arkansas Easters Seals who began this journey with us 24 years ago, to Arkansas Children’s Hospital and to The Pediatric Clinic, especially Dr. Stephen Fiedorek. To the entire staff at Baptist Springhill who went above and beyond to help not just Connor, but our entire family. A special thanks to the entire staff of 2A for pouring your hearts and souls into giving our angel the best care and for putting up with his momma.
