Remembrances       to #1 from: David Reed Cincinnati, Ohio dmreed29@gmail.com Sun, Jul 2, 2023 at 7:39 PM I'm just now hearing about this tragedy; I never knew Connor, but I know Connor's father, Brian; a good, decent, hardworking, and even brilliant man, in so many ways. Reading about Connor reminds me of Brian; my heart breaks for my friend. My condolences go out to the entire family and I pray for the repose of Connor's soul. #2 from: Stacey Corbitt Montana Tech scorbitt@mtech.edu Tue, Apr 2, 2024 at 12:55 PM As the anniversary approaches of the day your lives were forever changed, I hope your family is remembering Connor for his happy times with you all. I wish you comfort in knowing he is at peace. #3 from: Brian Brumfield Marysville, Ohio bsb@mac.com Thu, Jun 12, 2025 at 8:24 AM As the days since your passing fade to weeks, and now gears, my sadness has not abated. Your loss was completely avoidable, and the fact that the person responsible is immune to the rational, moral, and normally legal repercussions of such an egregious and  irresponsible act - only makes the pain worse. I wish we knew then what we know now, but God had plans for you son, and while I disagree with Him, this is His plan not mine. That said, our battle now is to take what we have learned and do something about it. We are fighting in your honor, Connor. We are striking at the foundations of the system that allows VA providers to take the lives of US veterans, and we are trying our hardest to stop this from happening to any more veterans. I miss you dearly. I miss hearing how you are doing, what you are planning, what you are learning, and how you and Alex were taking on the world on your own terms. It was so exciting and it all ended with one nurse practitioner who continues to practice and do the same thing to other, unsuspecting veterans. Until we meet again - “Til Valhalla!” View Older Condolences >> Condolences       to #1 from: Gail DeGood-Guy Richwood, ohio Mon, May 1, 2023 at 5:09 PM Brian, Kimberlie and family.   I am beyond words to express the sorry I'm feeling for you and your family.  May God provide you comfort during this most difficult time.     #2 from: Marilyn Coleman Richwood Mon, May 1, 2023 at 7:52 PM You are all on my mind and in my heart   if I can do anything for you, let me know.  Connor was such a joy. #3 from: Caleb Anderson Montana Tue, May 2, 2023 at 11:40 AM To Connor Brumfield’s family and friends, It pained me immensely to hear of Connors’s passing. I find myself very lucky to have been able to meet him while we were going through our advanced individual training for the army together in fort Gordon, and Connor was my roommate for our time there as well. He was a brother in arms and an even better person to get to know one on one. I will pray for strength and healing to all those affected by Connors passing, and will pray for Connor that he is in a better place now. #4 from: Truc "Bear" Nguyen Frederick, MD Sun, May 14, 2023 at 8:43 PM A good man brought into this world by good people. You were unforgettable, loved, and truly someone I would call my brother. The world is a darker place without you here, brother... Save a spot for me, I hope we meet again on the other side. #5 from: Heraclio Borjas Wiesbaden, Germany Mon, May 15, 2023 at 1:55 PM I worked with Connor for a couple years in Fort Sill, OK. We hanged out a couple times, but I remember one day he said he'd take a road trip to Yellowstone National Park, and I'd honestly say it was one of the best experiences in my life, we traveled from Oklahoma, thru Texas eating chocolate sheet cake in this diner, went thru New Mexico and its red clay coated lands, driving thru colorado and hiking a small base portion of the rocky mountains and going to Denver, thru Wyoming in Yellowstone where we witnessed a herd of buffalo walk thru our campsite when I unzipped my tent and saw the huge face of one and noticed Connor just sitting in his hammock reading a book.Then going to Montana where we argued cause we didn't hike as much and it was raining a lot those days, then looping around Idaho, Utah, and Arizona where we saw the Grand Canyon, ....I remember the the long car rides through the US, the gas station food where we had 8 different types of jerky, the fight we had on a mountain, the horrible song singalongs, and most of all I remember how happy he was..I wish I could of been a better to him. I'll always remember you till I die Brumfield and the next life, I hope wherever you are now, it's where you are that makes you feel the happiest. Oh and some guy named Fernside was with us too I guess, he just slept in the backseat of the truck honestly for the most part. #6 from: Jayme Colorado Mon, May 15, 2023 at 9:36 PM Thank you for making Connor's service available online, it was so nice to hear the memories and share in celebrating Connor's life.                  I want to express my love and adoration for the Brumfield Family. Some of my favorite adventures and fun stories were experienced alongside Kim and Brian. Kim, Brian, Ian, Trevor and Caitlin - you are all in my prayers and my heart.
