I just so happened to turn on ESPN this evening and  saw the piece on your beloved son, Connor. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences to his mother and father, family, and friends. May God Bless you for All Eternity.  

Respectfully,

I'm sorry for your lost,Connor will be one of my inspiration.Stay strong.

I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. I know it's not easy to lose a child. He was so accomplished for a young man something to be proud of. I pray for the strength to go on. God Bless you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard to find the family values your family had. I don't know you all but from the you tube videos I can tell that you all were united in Gods grace. Parents always there for your children. He was so lucky to have that with the rate of broken families. God Bless you all I pray that more families can take a lesson in how families are supposed to be.

Gage Family,
I didn't know Connor to well, but this is still very sad, I am very very very sorry for your loss, I will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope Connor is reading this up in heaven,And I know that he is having a good time up in Heaven, like they say, only the good due young, Connor was an amazing person, and God needed him, he will be in everybody's thougts <3

I miss my cabin-mate. Remember the rope swing? It should be you running this weekend. I don't deserve state.

Hello again,  I posted a few weeks back, but I got an update in my in-box, so the Lord once again brought you all to mind. I have a son, Bret, who is 17 (Riley's age perhaps), who just lost his older brother tragically 18 months ago . . . Luke passed away in March 2011, and he went to Faith Christian school.  I know Bret would perhaps want to connect with your son, as they're both the same age and both have lost their best friends--their brothers--who were wonderful, Christian boys, pursuing Christ in everything.  I know everything is so raw and fresh right now and that you're still reeling, but if perhaps the boys could connect in the future, that maybe God could use it to help mend their hearts --at least just a little.  My e-mail is karstein@tx.rr.com --  I'm continuing to pray for your family -- from a mom who's still walking that path of grief while holding tight to God's hand.  In love and symphathy,  Karen Steinmann

Dana (bigfoot Wilson), I just found out about the loss of your wonderful son.  I cannot begin to imagine the sorrow you must feel. He is not alone in heaven though. I know that he is with his heavenly family,Richard, Dee and Steve.  And I know that they were all at the gates of heaven waiting to take him inside to God. And I know that they are all rejoicing that he is there with them.  I know that there is nothing I can say to help ease the pain, but know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Gage family, I never knew Connor but I knew Ashleigh and Emily Crawford but he is still in my heart. He will be dearly missed and I am praying for your family.

Words cannot express how sad my family and I am for you all.  Though we did not know your handsome son I will always remember him. Especially when we are at our place at Possum Kingdom.  I cannot look at that area of the lake (next door) and not feel a twinge of sorrow for you all.  Please know that Connor and you all will be in our thoughts and prayers for years to come.  Sincerely, Leesa Wachsman and Family (Wichita Falls, TX)

Brett and Dana,

I pray that both of you know the love of Christ and find peace in knowing that he is holding Connor close now and forever. God Bless you Brett and Dana. I miss you both.

Praying for your family.  As a mom, I can't begin to imagine your loss.  Connor sounds like an incredible Godly young man.  He's in a great place.

The staff of WoodCreek Dental extend heartfelt sympayth.  Connor was a sweet spirit and will be greatly missed.

I never knew Connor, but was often at FWC for football games while I attended Covenant Christian Academy in Colleyville.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. It's heartbreaking to lose someone so young, yet comforting to know he was going home to be with God. I'm so sorry for the loss of someone who was clearly very, very special. Rest in peace Connor.

Connor, I know we never met but if we did i would be very honored. I just want to wish you and your family the best. Just earlier I watched your memorial video and it made me cry it made me realize life is very precious and short, we need to live it to the fullest. I am so very sorry for his death.I know God will be taking good care of you. Also stay strong Connor's family and Connor's Girlfriend. He may be gone but he will always be in your hearts, never forget that. My prayers go out to him tonight. R.I.P Connor Kelly Gage.<3

Hello . . . I've never met you before, but I just wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Karen Steinmann, and my son Luke Steinmann, who was a senior at Faith Christian School, passed away a year and a half ago.  Although each tragedy is unique and the loss so profound, I do know somewhat of all you're experiencing . . . we're still "in the thick" of our grief--the pain is all-too raw--but I would like to reach out to your family, if I may.  Please e-mail me at karstein@tx.rr.com, if you'd like to connect, either now or in the coming months.  It would help me, I think, as much as helping you. I also have a son, Cory, who is Connor's age. I'm praying for you all.  With the deepest, heart-felt sympathy, Karen

May time help heal your broken hearts and allow all the positive memories to live forever inside.

We lit a candle for Connor at Church yesterday (The Good Shepherd). Hope our prayers continue to bring strength to your family! The Ramon Tarbet Family... Brian, Sandy, Tyler, Adrian, and Olivia.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

We are a family that is new to Fort Worth Christian.  Our son Luke was fortunate to have met Connor, hanging out after school, playing basketball, the day before he died.  We can promise you that Connor had a positive impact on Luke that will last the rest of his life.  So short, but so powerful.

We attended the funeral.  Most funerals serve the purpose of providing strength to the family of the departed.  But, in this case, it was our family that gained tremendous strength from your family. It is our hope that this strength continues to uphold your family as time goes on.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.  This is such a loss for the ones left on earth.  Find hope and comfort in knowing that you will see him again in heaven.  

Gil, Loretta, Gil, and Joey

To all of the Gage family,

I had the honor of meeting this young man exactly one week ago. He was a great kid. I remember part of our talk was about how excited he was for an upcoming run. His smile is unmistakable, his kindness was from the bottom of his heart, and he is in a better place. God blessed yall with 15 amazing years with this young man, and I am glad to say that I had the honor of meeting him before his early passing. I know my heart and my familys' heart goes out to you. God said "I'll lend a little child to you to care for awhile, I cannot promise how long you'll have the pleasure of his smile, He'll bring you joy beyond your dreams but if his stay is brief, There will be lovely memories to somehow ease your grief. From all the others I've chosen you to love him as I've planned, but if I have to call him home, please try to understand."

many of my friends knew him... god bless you! he was so young he is 15 like me and i cant imagine tht ever happeneing i am so sorry

Dana, Brett, & Riley,
I was blessed to know Connor through Mason's friendship with him.  You were certainly blessed by God to be able to have Connor in your lives for 14 beautiful years.  His short time on Earth has proven that angels are real.  May you find peace every day.  Praying for y'all.

We are so sorry for the loss of your son Connor! He and my daughter went to Cotillion together! May God Bless Your Family and help ease your pain!

We extend our heartfelt condolences even though those words are wholly inadequate to express the depth of our sorrow.  We are proud that Ryan insisted on being with Riley and with all of you. He found two brothers at your house. Ryan's not going anywhere and neither are we.  We love you guys.

Brett & Family,
I am so sorry about the loss of your son, Connor. I pray that our gracious Father will just wrap you all in His arms through the coming days.. We will be lifting you up in prayer.

I watched Connor's live stream of the Memorial Service today and just wanted you to know how much Conner and his family have touched my life. Your trust and obedience in and to our Lord and Savior have touched and will continue to trust many for years to come. What a remarkable Christian family you are. May you continue to find peace and comfort in Him as you mourn Connor's loss. What a blessing God gave you in this child. Prayers and my sincerest condolences to you.
