He was born in Salyersville, KY on September 26, 1932. Conrad was the son of the late Francis and Gladys (Blankenship) Connelley.

Con grew up in Salyersville, a little town in eastern Kentucky, where everyone was like family. He loved fishing from the Licking River, hunting in the beautiful hills, and playing basketball with friends at an old hoop put on a barn. He loved UK basketball and never missed a game on the television.

After he and Faye married, he worked in the gas and oil fields for a short time before moving to Chelsea in 1951. He then worked at Ford Motor Company until retiring. Con was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was dedicated to his family, his work, and his church.

Con long ago became a member of the Faith Baptist Church, where he sang in the choir, loved the Lord, and trusted in Him always.
