Connor Eric Hawkins

Connor Eric Hawkins, born on April 30, 1998, in Flint Michigan, passed away from an accident on March 10, 2025, while doing what he loved, riding his motorcycle. 

Connor was a devoted husband to his wife, and high school sweetheart, Alexandra Hawkins. They had an unbreakable bond that was strengthened with their shared love of video games, exploring, and fun dates. Connor never imagined being a father, but was absolutely head over heels for both his sons, Everett, Rhett (6) and Tobias, Tobi (1). He was able to teach Rhett how to ride a dirt bike and snowboard and even tried a little longboarding. Tobi found a love for cuddles while watching Dada play his computer games. His mother, Michelle Stradley and his father, Chad Stradley were some of his best friends, and he absolutely loved going on adventures with them on their motorcycles. He also loved his siblings – sister, Hailey Stradley; and brothers, Chris Hawkins (Teya) and Cameron Hawkins (Kelsi). 

Connor was a born at heart Technician and worked at Tates Rent where his bosses Tyler and Josh, helped further cultivate his love of fixing things. He never had anything too negative to say about anyone or anything there, ha-ha! He had a deep-rooted kind of love for his entire Tates family that they showed right back to him. 

Connor was known for his adventurous spirit, kindness, and sense of humor. He had a way of bringing joy to those around him and lived life with an extraordinary energy that left a lasting impression on everyone he met! One of Connor’s favorite things to do was to "shoot the shit", as he always used to say, with anyone he crossed paths with!

Connor is survived by his wife, sons, parents, siblings, grandparents (Denise Albertson, Gary Drury), Niece and Nephew (Cash and Kolbi), Nana-in-law (Sandra Golay), and many other extended family members, friends and coworkers. 

May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him.
