My dad, Kevin John Conner, passed away peacefully today at 2.00 pm in Melbourne, Australia. Having just turned 92 years of age, dad has spent the last year or so in an aged care home where he has had excellent care and regular visits from family and friends. He lived a full life, touched a lot of lives, and was ready to go. Our loss is heaven’s gain.
Dad was a wonderful dad to my sister, Sharon, and I, and to so many others too. He has influenced untold thousands of lives through his life, his books, and his teaching. No doubt, he is hearing, “Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord” as he graduates to heaven today.
A public thanksgiving service for Kevin’s life will be held at CityLife Church (1248 High Street Road. Wantirna South. Victoria. Australia 3152) on Wednesday, 27th February at 5.00 pm Melbourne daylight saving time. All are welcome.
UPDATE: This thanksgiving service will also be live-streamed over the internet. Please note: this internet link will not be live until 4.45 pm local Melbourne time (which is 9.45 pm Pacific Coast time in the USA on Tuesday 26th February). A video of the service will be available shortly afterwards for those unable to watch online.

I was a student at Harvest Bible College in Dandenong Victoria in 1996 and Kevin Conner did some lecturing during my studies there. I have loved his teaching ever since and being formerly a Seventh Day Adventist I especially loved his teachings about the Old and New Covenant and the Sabbath Day. Heaven has gained a wonderful man.
Thanks Darryl. Glad to hear of my dad’s positive impact on your life. All the best! Mark
