James "Jimmy" Bryan Conner's Obituary
James “Jimmy” Bryan Conner, age 63 of Rehoboth Beach, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 22, 2022 after complications from a courageous battle with HPV driven throat cancer, at Delaware Hospice Center, in Milford. He was born on August 29, 1959, in Wilmington, son of the late Ira and Rena Conner.
Jimmy was a graduate of Conrad High School. Following graduation, he mastered the electrical trade and was last employed at Congoleum, as a Journeyman industrial electrician. He was an avid Harley Davidson enthusiast, but his pride and joy was his 1949 Harley Servi Car. Jimmy loved his family above all. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Loved by many, he will be genuinely missed by all who had the good fortune to know him.
Jimmy is survived by his beloved wife Barbara Conner of Rehoboth Beach; his sons: James “JB” Conner, Gary Gray (Marie), Nick Gray (Alicia); the four loves of his life, his grandchildren: Brendan, Deegan, Gabriella , and Julianna; his brother, Bill; his sister, Christine; and his niece, nephews, and their children.
