Honoring the Life and Legacy of Master Trooper Kevin Keith Conner

Master Trooper Kevin Keith Conner was tragically killed in the line of duty on October 17, 2018. Born and raised in Bladenboro, North Carolina, Kevin fulfilled his lifelong dream of serving as a state trooper when he joined the North Carolina Highway Patrol in 2007.

Kevin was assigned to Troop B in Columbus County, where he established his home with his wife, Miranda, and their two children, Briley and Braxson. Throughout his life, Kevin was deeply committed to serving others. As both a dedicated law enforcement officer and a compassionate member of his community, he made a lasting impact on everyone he encountered.

Kevin was known for his generosity, kindness, and unwavering commitment to helping others. He was a trusted friend, a devoted husband and father, and a source of encouragement and light to countless people.

In 2019, the Trooper Kevin Conner Memorial Foundation was established to honor Kevin’s life and continue his commitment to the communities he loved and served. Through the generosity of sponsors, donors, and supporters, the Foundation has awarded more than $10,000 in college scholarships to students in Columbus and Bladen Counties, with plans to expand its efforts in the years ahead.

Kevin’s legacy of service continues through the lives touched by the Foundation. His dedication, compassion, and sacrifice will forever remain an inspiration, and his memory will never be forgotten.
