Print This Obituary

Conner Bingham left us unexpectedly on Saturday, April 29, 2023. Conner was born on May 4, 1997, and passed away just 5 days before his 26th birthday. Conner is survived by his parents, John and Beth (Morrissey) Bingham; his loving sister, Kaila Bingham; along with many family members and friends that adored him. Conner was full of love, had a huge heart, and a big memorable smile. He was known for being respectful to everyone he met, big hugs, and his love of having a good time.

Conner’s early passions were hockey, baseball, and the love of the outdoors, terrorizing the neighborhood with his buddies. He was extremely athletic. He could ride a bike without training wheels at the age of 3 and ice skate without holding anyone’s hand the second time he put on skates. Conner loved his Cyclone hockey brothers and every member of their families. Together they excelled and won many championships, almost too many to count. There wasn’t a sport or hobby that he couldn’t excel at. Conner loved board sports and being in the water. At age 12 he snowboarded every black diamond in Sun Valley, Idaho after only being on a snowboard a handful of times. He loved to jet ski and wakeboard on the Wolf and Fox Rivers, blasting the tunes. Music was a big passion, and it became his therapy whenever he dealt with life’s struggles. His dogs – Kozmo, Milo and Max were very important to him. He would take them on runs, play fetch or snuggle with them as long as he could. The love Conner felt for everyone was unmatched, and he made sure to let everyone know how much he loved every person in his life.

Conner was one of a kind. The passion and love he held in his heart will never leave this world. He touched so many lives and will be missed and never forgotten. His life may have been cut short in years, but he never allowed it to fall short of experiences. He was one of the kindest souls and was taken from this world too soon.

A visitation for family and friends will be on Saturday, May 6, 2023, from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. at Mueller Funeral Home 904 E. Main St. Winneconne. A memorial service will be held on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at the funeral home. Following the memorial service, a celebration of life will be held at the Fin n Feather 22 W. Main St. Winneconne.

John and Beth, So very sorry for the loss of Connor. There are no words for what happened and your family are in our prayers. Connor was a great young man and being on the same line for the Cyclones with our son, Trevor the boys had a special bond. Connor was a great teamate and friend. #11 will be missed forever.

Mr. and Mrs. Bingham, Words cannot describe how sorry we are for your loss. We’ll always remember Connor as a fun, outgoing, funny kid that we touched not only ours, but everyone’s life. We’ve got memories of him that will last a lifetime, from riding in the jeep late summer nights, to playing pond hockey in the winters and coming back to play shinny when it got too dark. He was taken from the world way too soon, but his memory will live on with all of us forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.

Conner was by service representative in the Kaukauna area. I just met Conner last Friday at one of our accounts. He was smiling and super friendly. I helped him with the delivery and we talked and he told me a little about himself. He was super excited about being in the accounts and getting to know all of the store personnel. I left there and felt really good about how my customers were going to taken care of by Conner on a daily basis. His life on earth was cut short, but God needed Conner for a reason we cannot fully understand today but will someday. He will be well taken care of in God's hands and his smile will always be there when you close your eyes. Reid J Pepsi Beverages

We are so sorry for your loss. Conner was a special person. He was one of my first and best friends at the Cyclones. We played nearly every season together from Mites to Midgets. He was a great player, friend, leader and teammate. Conner was always the hardest working player on and off the ice and brought that very same energy outside the rink. The heart of the team and the life of the party. I feel very lucky to have shared so many great memories with him and the Bingham family over the years. RIP #11. Gone but never forgotten??

The Saultz Family wrote on May 4, 2023
Beyond the realms of the earth there are no words to describe how much we loved and cared about Conner. He was the most loving, caring and respectful person to be around and had a heart of gold. Conner and Chad became friends when they were in the second grade and lived across the street from each other. Conner and Chad spent many hours scootering and skateboarding in our basement on the ramps that John built for them. They had so much fun and were always laughing. Conner touched our lives in such a special way, we will always and forever love and miss him. Our Thoughts and Prayers are with the Family at this very sad time. Love, Rich, Lisa and Chad

I met Conner my freshman year of college at UWO and anyone that had the pleasure of meeting him knew he lit up every room with his bright smile, humor, outgoing personality, and love for his friends and family. I had the pleasure of catching up with Conner and meeting his parents on the lake this past Boat Bash. It was one of the best days of summer and I am so grateful we got to spend that time together. Heavy heart and so many prayers for Conner’s parents and all family and friends during this difficult time <3

Ryann Belter wrote on May 3, 2023
Connor was everything and more than stated above. I was always welcomed back to Wisconsin by one of Connor's infamous bear hugs. I will miss those and his contagious smiles the most. I regret not being able to spend more time with him. I send all my love and apologies for not being able to attend his celebration of life; I want nothing more than to be there. I am praying for your family and Connor every day. I wish there was more I could say or do to help ease you through the pain of these moments, but I know that Connor will leave a gaping hole in the lives of everyone that he was in the presence in; just seeing Connor smile was enough to touch someone's life deeply and irrevocably. The one comfort I can hope to give is that he is smiling down, and praying that his family will know just how much he loves them.

John, Beth, and Kaila, we are so deeply sorry for your loss. Some people will probably remember Connor for his fiery competitiveness but what we remember most about Connor is his big smile. He always had a big smile on his face when we saw him at the rink. The world will be a little less happy without him. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Connor was my roommate freshman year at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Some of my favorite freshman year memories were spent with Conor- boating, spending time with friends, going to parties, studying, and going out to eat were some fond times spent together. He will be missed ??

My deepest condolences to the Bingham family. Conner was one of the best friends I could ever hope to know. He was full of energy and always put a smile on everyone’s face. I’ll always cherish the countless memories we made on hockey trips, sleepovers, and hanging out with our friends and teammates. He was a leader and always brought the best out in everyone around him. I cannot thank the Bingham family enough for everything they have done for me. They are my family and I will never forget my left winger and brother Conner. May he rest in peace.

Dear Bingham Family, It is heartbreaking to hear about the loss of your wonderful son Connor. I will always remember his first trip to Sun Valley and shredding on his snowboard. But what was most memorable was his sweet, shy but kind demeanor. John insisted he call me Ms. Holzl until I asked to just be called Christl, and moving forward that was acceptable. Passionate, fierce, determined and a big smile…that is how I will remember him. May you find peace. All my love, Christl

I am so sorry for your loss Kaila, Mr. and Mrs. Bingham. This news was a complete and utter shock. Back in the days of Cyclone hockey, Conner was the one we could always count on as having our back with no questions asked. Whether it be putting his body on the line to block shots for his goalie or going after a guy on the other team that got a cheap shot in or just trying to push everyone to be the best they can be both on and off the ice. He loved the sport just as much as he loved each and every one of us guys suiting up next to him. He truly made us feel like brothers. During our pregame routines, road trips, off-ice training (House of Pain) or just in between shifts mid-game, Conner was always the energy of the team. He would always be the guy that could bring up the team's morale in an instant but was also able to make sure everyone focused up when we needed to. Although a lot of time has passed since those Cyclone days, Conner will always be a focal point in every single one of those memories for me and I'm sure for most of the Cyclones boys. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this hard time. May he rest in peace.
