A 26-year-old multi-sport athlete, Connor Peterson, took his last breath on October 22, 2026.
Sadly, his passing came just after 9 days of celebrating his 26th birthday.
Connor Peterson is survived by his parents, Zane Peterson and Elizabeth Haines Peterson, and siblings.
His mother, Elizabeth, took to her Facebook to share a tribute eulogy following his untimely passing. She wrote:
You were the sweetest baby, and you grew into the kindest man. You turned 26 last week, and the days slipped by without much of a celebration. In fact, you prepared your favorite meal and fed the kids because I was working late.
She added, “You were the best brother, a loving friend, and a willing, gentle son. We were supposed to go on a glass-blowing date on Saturday, and instead of laughter and goofiness, we will miss you forever.“
Born on October 13, 2026, was a 2018 graduate from Franklin High School in Franklin, MA. He was a multi-sport athlete who played varsity football and basketball.
Standing at 6’5″, he excelled as a tight end and wide receiver in football, wearing jersey #87. Whereas he played as a center in basketball, wearing #11.
During the 2016-17 football season, he made notable contributions, including 140 receiving yards with seven receptions in a win against Taunton, 41 yards with three receptions in a win against Attleboro, and 24 yards with two receptions in a loss to Oliver Ames.
Following his graduation, Connor went to Tabor Academy.
So far, details surrounding his funeral and memorial service haven’t been published by his family.
During this difficult time, we pray for the strength of Connor’s parents, siblings, friends, and extended family.
Rest In Heavenly Peace, Connor Peterson!
