The US Army Reserve and the family of Conner Gregory Knight, 31, have asked the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany them from the family home to the US Army Reserve Center in San Diego for a unit memorial. It will be uur honor to fulfill their request.
Connor passed unexpectedly following a tragic dirt bike accident on 16 November 2023. An adventurous spirit and daredevil from a young age, Connor began mastering his dirt bike skills at the tender age of 5. This passion for adrenaline defined his life's adventurous journey.
Beyond his love for off road sports, Connor graduated from La Jolla High School and honorably served in the Army Reserves. Professionally, he worked for Nixon, Stone Brewing and most recently Penske where he showcased his mechanical skills and passion for anything with a motor.
Connor's warm heart and infectious spirit touched the lives of many, including his friends, fellow soldiers, extended family of cousins, aunts, and uncles, who will forever treasure the shared memories. He is survived by his parents, Nancy and Gregory Connor; sister, Lindsey (David); many friends; and his comrades.
