Master Trooper Kevin Keith Conner was killed in the line of duty on October 17th, 2018. Born in Bladenboro, NC. Kevin’s life-long dream was to be a state trooper, a dream that came true in 2007. He was assigned to Troop B in Columbus County where he made his home with his wife, Miranda, and his two children, Briley and Braxson. Kevin was a humanitarian and public servant, both on and off the job. He was a wonderful friend to many, and a light to anyone who made his acquaintance. The Trooper Kevin Conner Memorial Foundation was established in 2019 in efforts to give back and serve the communities that Kevin loved and served. Through the generosity and support of sponsors and fundraising efforts, the Foundation has already given over $10,000 in college scholarships to students in Columbus and Bladen Counties and has plans of expansion in the works. Kevin’s legacy of service lives on and his sacrifice will never be forgotten.
