A Life of Love in Action

You’ll rarely meet anyone more resourceful and eager to jump into action to help someone make something good happen, the way our Scotty did.

A talented enthusiast for building/upgrading/re-engineering anything from a piece of farm equipment to an electronic device, or even a recipe to make it better… Scott put each day to full use to make an impact someway, somehow. And he just beamed when he “got it!” where he wanted it.

He was like a big kid building legos but with real life projects…houses, businesses, various endeavors that challenged his brain and kept him ever-growing and ever-expanding.

Scott had a huge amount of empathy along with a high standard of performance and was so fulfilled seeing others find their joy and success. He was a true example of “love in action” and a believer in everyone rising together toward better things, as a result of a good day’s work.

Scott took a lot of pride in the fact that employees of System Tech Washington became friends and family and truly cared for them, as such.

He loved BIG. He was a good listener who truly heard you with his head and his heart. You never left Scott's presence without feeling motivated, having shared a lot of laughs, exchanged great ideas, with a plan of action in your pocket and his signature hug and kiss to see you off.

His mind was always puzzling on how to make life better for everyone he loved. Collaborating and improving things was Scott’s love language.

His motivation for his constant drive for improving on things was his dedication to his family. Scott loved the life he built together with all of them. With his best friend, partner in crime, and love of his life, Tanya, right in the center of "Connerville"…he was proud of what the family built together to have each others’ backs, for life, along Rocky Mountain Ranch.

Even if they were arguing over a disputed property line, how to best fix a quad, or even over political banter, he found great support and pride in having his brothers flanking each side and a deep connection with his sister, despite the many miles between them…because nobody messes with the Conner siblings…except the Conner siblings! And when all the chips were down…they stood for one another, and he was confident in that.

Scott shared a special connection and deep friendship with his Mom Dorothy. They spoke daily, often chiding each other on with friendly competitions over this or that, planning the next family gathering, exchanging thoughts and ideas on what project to put their focus on next. Scott loved being there for his Mom and was dedicated to her living her best life. It wasn't uncommon for him to come barging through Mom's back door after dinner, fired up with a new idea how to "automate this, or sup up that". Tanya was always right behind him with the vast array of tools she knew he was going to be asking for over the course of the next few hours as he tinkered his way through getting it done. Scott held his Mom in the greatest respect as a loving and strong nurturer of their clan and one of his greatest cheerleaders, and he loved doing things that made her life easier.

Scott was proud of his girls, Tanya and Megan. He beamed with pride as he shared stories about the many adventures they took together, across the country, down to the sandy beaches in Mexico and throughout great northern Idaho, always with plenty of snacks packed by his trusty little sidekick. Scott was so happy to see Megan marry a man of integrity, in Nate. He spoke of how proud he was of their life path and choices and knew they have good things in their future as a result of their dedication.

Scott loved that he had chosen a spunky beauty of a daredevil with no fear for his wife. He appreciated Tanya’s intelligence, strength and grounded, "common-sense" approach to things and mentioned often how lucky he was to have her partnership. He always had a sparkle of pride in his eye when he recounted how the two of them met on the job and how it was the two of them teamed up and showing the rest how to get things done from then on out. He always knew that together, they could accomplish anything. And they built a life he loved and was very proud of.

Scott leaves behind a lot of amazing impact, joyful memories, a ton of gratitude and love. He will be missed beyond measure by his surviving wife Tanya Conner, daughter Megan & her husband Nate Sobba, mother Dorothy Conner, brothers Jeff Conner and Jon Conner & sister-in-law  Bobbie Hamilton, sister Sherri Issa & brother-in-law Ihab Issa, parents-in-law David & Teresa Wickes, many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.
