Ethan was born on February 03, 2006, the son of Perry and Amy Yarbrough Conner. He was such a beautiful and handsome baby boy. Ethan loved life and lived it to the fullest. He was a proud graduate of Geneva High School, class of 2024. He played football for the Geneva Panthers as the center for 6 years. While in school, he was a member of FFA and competed at both district and state levels. Ethan made lifelong friends and brothers that he loved dearly.
Ethan started his own lawn care business at 15 years old with just 1 yard. That is where he started and never looked back. He grew his business and now Conner Lawn Service served 70 + yards over the tri-state area. Some weeks, it was 7 days a week, but he never complained. In February 2025, he became co-owner of Road Runner Roll-offs with his dad. What started as a side business quickly grew because of his time and dedication. He exhibited work ethics and determination from a young age. In 2025, he expanded his services when he purchased an excavator and tractor for demolition jobs.
Ethan always found time for family and friends, where he enjoyed camping, going to the lake and found a new love for duck hunting this past year. He was his sister’s biggest fan and followed all over for games and tournaments. He loved trucks, fixing them up with his daddy and always making sure it looked and sounded good and was clean.
Ethan was a faithful member of Red Hill United Methodist Church, where he loved the Lord and never missed a chance to serve and help anyone in need.
He is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Hubert Yarbrough, great grandparents, Cecil and Willie Mae Whitaker, Bill and Ruth Andrews and several other special family members.
