Connor Panke

It is with the deepest sorrow and heartfelt loss that we announce the passing of Connor Panke, who left this world far too soon on March 7, 2026, at the tender age of 19. Born on November 22, 2006, in the warm embrace of Pembroke, Connor was a spirited soul whose life, though short, touched many in profound and meaningful ways. Connor was the cherished son of Dwight and Nicole, who loved him dearly and will forever hold his memory close. He is predeceased by beloved family members TeagF, Dexter, and Cuddy, with whom we hope he is now at peace. Though his journey on earth has ended, the love and joy he brought to those around him will never fade. As a young man, Connor embraced life with a zest that was infectious. His interests were varied and spoke to his adventurous spirit—he enjoyed fishing, the camaraderie found in shared drinks, and the simple pleasures of a good meal. A graduate of high school, Connor also served in the military, a testament to his dedication and bravery. Connor's work as a Ferd driver showed his commitment to his community, and his sense of humor and warmth left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He was known for his unique charm and ability to make those around him smile, leaving behind memories that will be cherished forever. Though life's challenges were not unknown to Connor, he faced them with a courage and resilience that was admirable. His time with us was marked by both struggles and triumphs, and through it all, he remained a beloved partner to Brooke Hammel, who stood by him through thick and thin. A service to honor and celebrate Connor's life will be held on March 8, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Fournier Funeral Home/Irving’s, located at 420 Bell Street. Family, friends, and all whose lives Connor touched are invited to join in remembrance and to celebrate a life that was vibrant and full of love. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to TeagF Carpet Riders, an organization close to Connor's heart. Connor will be remembered for his playful spirit, his loyalty to those he loved, and his unyielding strength. Though he has left us, his spirit lives on in the laughter, stories, and love of all who knew him. May Connor rest in peace, surrounded by the eternal love of those who have gone before him, and may his memory forever be a blessing to those who remain.
