To Connor's family, I thank you for your bravery in sharing the true cause of your beautiful son's death. I do not know you nor did I know Connor, but he sounded like such a gentle, kind soul; sensitive and thoughtful. I hope that by being open about what led Connor to make the choice to end his pain, people may learn that words, in fact, do hurt deeply. I wish you peace and grace, and may Connor too, know eternal peace.

I am so sorry for the passing of you son. What I gave read is that he was very smart and going to church. The bulling has got to stop everywhere it is too much of it. I didn't know Connor personally but when I saw his picture I knew he was a wonderful young person and was very smart. My heart goes out to you and your family and remember God is right beside of you and he said in his word he will never leave you nor forsake you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

May your memories of this sweet son and brother sustain you as you celebrate his life. Think of the times he was in joy, not in pain. I send peace, love and healing. And I pray that the bullies responsible change their behavior.

Also, I lost my Mom on the same date five years ago. May you have some comfort knowing that he is in a place where he can never be hurt again, and that you will all be together someday.

I happened to come across this obituary out on Facebook. I looked at this precious young face and I saw such a beautiful child. As I continued to read his beautiful obituary, I was so sad to hear this young boy have been bullied. I honestly am so sad for this world today with all these things happening. What I would like to say to his mother father and brother is that you will see him again one day. Jesus is coming back and you will be reunited with your sweet son / brother. God has a special plan for this boy and although he had to go through this much pain to get into God's arms, he is now with the angels. Lots of prayers go out to your family as you try to deal and cope with each new day that will come. God Bless all of you.

What a beautiful son you and God brought into this world. I wish with all my might that we could be rid of bullying. I'm sorry that all your hopes and dreams have vanished before you're eyes and for the hole in your heart that will never be able to be filled. May God comfort you and guide you. Heartfelt condolences to you and those who loved this young man. May he rest in peace and his spirit soar high with the angels.

Did not know this beautiful young man, saw the post on Facebook.. My heart breaks that we have lost in this world another gentle soul. After reading about him it makes you so sad to know that any other young person could trod upon the heart and mind of such a brilliant & talented young man. I wish with all my heart and soul that this world could teach Kids that words hurt and destroy as much as any thing you can do physically. They need to learn some accountability for their actions.
I am so sorry for your loss and hope God helps to heal your heart and bring you some sort of peace.

Your son was so smart and wise that it scared too many of his peers. Connor is up in heaven right now with no one hurting him any longer. I'm sorry kids can be so mean, I could not imagine this happening how I would react. I hope your family has a good support system and it brings you together. Love, Shawn

“When the hours of Day are numbered,
And the voices of the Night
Wake the better soul, that slumbered,
To a holy, calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the fitful firelight
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door;
The beloved, the true-hearted,
Come to visit me once more;
He, the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longings for the strife,
By the roadside fell and perished,
Weary with the march of life!
Oh, though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If I but remember only
Such as these have lived and died!"

I do not know your family nor did I get the honor to meet your son. I saw his obituary on Facebook posted by someone I do know and I read it. As a mother, parent and friend to my own son who is a 19 year old soldier whom was bullied himself from 6th grade to 10th grade and whom I had to commit when he tried to end his life. Your son sounds like a caring, giving, goofy,intelligent,kindhearted, amazing young man who loved his family and friends no matter what. My heart breaks for your loss and for the loss of this world because we will never have the honor of seeing what amazing, life changing things I’m sure he would have accomplished. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

Please know that Conner is in the loving arms of Jesus and will never feel pain or sorrow again. He will be waiting for you and your pain will be no more.

I do not know you, your son or your family. I saw connor's obituary on facebook and felt compelled to write. He looks like he was a kind and gentle soul who brought joy to others. The world has lost an amazing person who was destined for great things. I am deeply sorry for your loss and pray for you to find peace and for Connors life to not have been in vain.

So very sorry for your loss.My son experienced the same kind of bullying because he was different. He has Aspergers Syndrome. He tried to take his own life as a junior in high school. He is now 38 years old and it's still happening in our schools here in Lincoln, RI. We must eradicate this kind of behavior once and for all!!!!

Words can never express how tragic this loss is.

I will be praying for you all that you find the strength to carry on and live each day with peace and love in your hearts. That your son would want you to have, the saddest part about this kind of a loss is it effects the kindest of people and children, it’s that wonderful loving heart that suffers in the coldness of this world at times, I am so sorry that your family has had to endure this pain. But I hope you can take some comfort in knowing his life wasn’t in vain his death hasn’t gone unnoticed, and cuz of his story I will be talking with my 4 children tonight ages 4-15 about ways to stop this suffering your boy had to fight through. And ways to help other kids dealing with the same things or other kinds of pain, so hopefully we can prevent more children from having to feel the way your son did, I am so sorry you have had to suffer but please always remember the love your son had, just seeing his photo and hearing a small part of his story has touched my heart so deeply. He was absolutely beautiful God works in mysterious ways often we do not understand do not seek answers or exclamation but just rejoice in the time and love we have here on earth with each other. One day all of our story’s will be complete but until then keep turning the pages :( may peace and love be with you all from the Walters family in IL

I am so very sorry for your great loss. In reading your sons obituary the tears fell down my cheeks . What an incredible young man and what an awful loss. My son too was bullied as I was throughout school, I fought with the school for years to put a end in it, yet got no help. It is sad that we have schools that say that have the "No Bullying" enforced at their school yet they do not enforce it. It is truly sad that parents are allowing their children to grow up and be a bully. I can not put into words how my heart breaks for all the pain that this incredible man went thru NOR the great pain, sorrow and emptiness you the family are going thru now. My thoughts and prayers are with you...

I am so sorry for you loss. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain you are feeling and how lost you must be. Your son was obviously a bright star in a dim lite night. Someone that should have been an example for other kids to follow. I to was bullied as a child after being sexual abused. It forever imprinted on my brain that maybe I was not as good as the other kids. Maybe just maybe I am no good. So I do understand where your child may have looked from. A precipice some choose not to return from and go to make it a better place somewhere else. Peace be with you in the coming years and months. I will pray for you and your family.

I will never forget the pain and loneliness that I endured from those that bullied me when I was his age because I was different. I am a grown adult now but have struggled throughout my life with my self esteem because I allowed others to take that away from me.

I hope that you know how much your son truly loved his family. You see, when children suffer in this way they hide it so that their sadness doesn't become yours.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was bullied in school too. It is a shame that children don't understand that school life and their younger years go by quickly. If they can just make it thru the tough times as a child, they will move on to adulthood and things change. Such a loss. What a bright young man.

So sorry for the loss of your amazing and handsome son. I am heartbroken to see another good soul taken from the world because of bullying, it is so unnecessary, and I pray every night that these cruel children will stop to see how much they are hurting another human being. I taught my son at an early age to stand by the underdog, if someone was being picked on to stand by the person being bullied, and show him/her that they do have a friend, and with the hopes that others followed behind him, some did, some didn't, but those that did made a world of difference. I'm so sorry that your son didn't get the support from other peers to get him through what he was dealing with from those who chose to bully him. May your beautiful son Connor rest in peace, and may he fly high and always surround you with his love! God bless you and your family!

I do not have to know Connor to know how difficult that life was for him to feel so helpless due to the bullies. I can tell you how heartbreaking it is to lose a loved one. My niece passed 10 years ago in her 30's after her father molested her for years, & 6 years ago on xmas eve day, my grandson overdosed the day after he returned from 3 mo. rehab. There will always be a hole in your heart, but look, & be aware that he WILL be sending signs to let you know that he is with you, as my loved ones have. We celebrate Chris' birthday every year, making his favorite dinner, & sing happy birthday & talk about our memories.... actually, we talk about him all throughout the year. The year of the firsts is always the worst, but for his sake, you will get through it. I personally needed antidepressants & don't feel odd letting anyone know. You are blessed to have had this child in your life for 15 years, even though it was certainly not long enough. I send you my love, dear family. You are welcome to respond to my email if you ever want to.

I was "shattered" when I saw Conner's Obituary. I sit here wishing I had known of his suffering. I would have told him 'it does get better". I was truly tortured every day during my school years and Connor's death made all those memories come flooding back. There were many times I was ready to leave the suffering behind. My Mother was supportive and I was able to endure each school day. I was stuck with pins, punched in the face, spit upon as I made my way to classrooms. The Halls were like "Walking the last mile" for me everyday. But I did survive, became a Therapist and married the man I love. I thought today was different than 1966 but Connor's death showed me it hasn't changed. Connor is in Heaven now with my Mom and my Sister Loretta who was also my best friend. Again, I wish I could have told Connor that I would sit in class with him every day if need be for I grew up to be a 6' 240 lb man and now work tirelessly against bullies. I will be 69 ion 12/29 and fought all my life for Angels like Connor. I will pray the Rosary each night for 90 days for Connor and will ask our Heavenly Mother to take his hand and show him around his new home. God Bless You Connor...."Uncle" Dennis

I cannot even imagine what you are going through at this time. I pray that his memories do help you for the years to come. They may bring both tears as well as laughter to all of you. Bullying is such an epedemic and there has to be a way to open people's eyes to see how harmful it is. Children as well as parents need to be aware of their children's actions and the reactions to it.
You are all in my heart, thoughts and prayers! God has his newest Angel who will be watching over all of you!

I am terribly sorry the unspeakable has happened to your son and therefore all of your family. I wish I had words that would comfort you with the anguish you have. What I offer is my deepest sympathy and my promise to pray for you each day that the same God who commanded the sun to rise today will minister to you each through the mourning process.

I'm so sorry for your loss, my aunt posted this on Facebook and being local and knowing too many people that have lost it taken their lives due to bullying, addiction or mental health diseases. It's so hard to find any words to help console you, from the video and obituary in the short 15 yrs Connor was here with you he seemed like an unbelievably amazing determined young man. Like a previous post stated, kids can be so cruel only to find out when they're older that the people doing the bullying we're there ones in turn who really had the issues that should have been examined more closely. I was tormented in high school, but my dad says told me... "Be friends with EVERYONE, no matter what they are, who they are, what they believe, etc." For me in early a blessing in disguise, and for the ones who bullied me, how the tables have turned and I see posts about their children being bullied... If only they knew what they were doing to me would be done to their children. Not that I condone it but it took that for them to realize the wrong they did. My point being, this needs to end, and something needs to be done to many people don't seek the H they need be it fear, embarrassment, or bring scared or ashamed, well we need to change that stigma. NAMI, Brake the Silence (suicide prevention ride out of Charlton, MA), even just talking to other people makes a huge difference! I'm so sorry for this families loss, this young man seems like he should have been on top of the world with all of his accomplishments at only 15. As a single parent of a 5 yo little girl... Who's DR. Told her at her 5yr check up she was just right on the height percentile but over weight on that end of the scale... I wanted to shake the Dr. And say are you serious, it's a no wonder while there is such a complex with girls/children these days to be a certain size or look a certain way. It starts so early we need to teach children the shape, size, color, look, interests, differences, etc. We all have feelings and that's what it comes down to. Treating those the way we want to be treated. May you remember all the great times and memories you had with Connor and the happy/joyful times he had doing what he did and loved best!! Having list try closer friends in the past 4 weeks my heart aches for you. And just know he is now your guardian angel and is closer to you now than your hands and your feet are!! He is your Christmas Angel!! And will forever be with you both mentally and spiritually!! Again my deepest thoughts and prayers!!

It's all over the social media, texting, sporting events, etc. It is a very sad day for this boys parents to lose him before he had the chance to live. God bless him and his family. Help them to find peace and pray for help. I hope they investigate and find those involved with all this. enough is enough!

Schools know who their bullies are, but do nothing to stop them.. Connor's family and friends ave my deepest sympathies... BULLYING NEEDS TO BE STOPPED NOW...

My sincere condolences . (I am not family nor acquaintance...read obituary and heartbrokenly moved...so wrote a prayer that GOD grant you comfort through this great sorrow...) --Ms M Gonzalez
GOD of mercy. Holy One, You Who are the Source of life and compassion, carry the Tronerud family through this tragedy---that they may hold each other gently….living through this anguish; dealing with gaping hole. Heal and strengthen them through their season of mourning. May they rise from this great sorrow, holding their hearts in their hands, lifting them up to you, O GOD of eternal peace…teach them to live each day…and reach out to others suffering…and bring to them the healing balm of your divine love. Blessed are YOU, Giver of life, for the life of young, Connor Francis Tronerud, of blessed memory. Blessed are YOU, for the good you worked through him toward others, while he was among the living of this earth. You alone knew His suffering; the torment he endured. You alone know his last word, his last thought. Y’SHUA gave His life for him. In your hands is Connor’s soul. Blessed are you, GOD of Abraham , GOD of Isaac, GOD of Jacob….and GOD of Connor. Blessed are You, Giver of Life! Amen.

Although I did not know him personally, bullying is an epidemic. I am a behavioral clinician and help kids through crisis. The biggest part of my job is helping parents. I know as a parent myself dealing with your child being bullied is very difficult. I know with the legacy he lived I hope many kids will speak up and stand up for others.

I also graduated from O.L.A. Because Connor graduated w the highest GPA, I must say that your son is brilliant!
I will remember Connor at mass today and tomorrow. I promise you my constant prayerful support.
