The approach
In Honor of
Connor Ciesielski
"The Great Crab Hunter"
He was happiest on Howes Street Beach
Memorial on Find a Grave
Early
in the morning on July 15th the world lost a special little boy. A boy
that put happiness, peace and joy into everyones life that met him or
heard of him. Whether it was his angelic face or his genius intellect,
people simply gravitated towards him and loved him. Connor Michael
Edward Ciesielski was a determined, strong willed, fun loving, energetic
and uniquely gifted 7 year old boy. Connor was born to Paul & Lisa
Ciesielski on May 4, 2000 and it was THE HAPPIEST DAY OF THEIR LIVES.
Even before he was born his Mother had always dreamed of having a baby
boy named Connor, and she knew how special he was going to be even
before she delivered him. They realized immediately that there was
something special and exceptional about their baby boy. Connor learned
to walk and talk at a very early age and at the age of 2 could ride a 2
wheel bike on his own. Connor had a colossal thirst for knowledge and at
night and on long rides in the car Connor would constantly ask his
father questions; questions that were far beyond his age of
understanding yet he understood the answers completely and would
entertain us by repeating the answer right back to us verbatim. He would
then ask one of his relatives the same question just to see if they
answered with the correct answer it was a little game that he liked to
play with all of us. Connor played pool & basketball constantly with
his Dad & brother Jack. He also played baseball for the Blue Jays,
took swimming lessons and 4 weeks ago earned his Orange Belt in Karate.
To do this he had to spar with each member of his karate class 1 on 1
all 13 of them-we were so proud. Connor just started to play Hockey in
the winter but enjoyed playing driveway hockey with his brother Jack and
Daddy. Connor loved to plant vegetable gardens with his Dappa on Cape
Cod. He took great pleasure in planting seeds with his own hands and
then watching them grow into plants with vegetables he could eat with
his family. It amazed him to watch the plants grow each day. Connor
always looked forward to playing with his classmates and friends from
St. Michael School where he just completed the First Grade. Connor
actually enjoyed attending school because he had an unquenching thirst
for learning about new things, he loved to play at recess and he adored
his teachers and principal. Connor especially loved to ride the bus home
from school because it made him feel like a Big Boy. His parents would
eagerly wait for him to get off the bus to ask him how his day went.
Connor's TRUE love was being on the beach at Cape Cod. He enjoyed the
hot days in the sun and the early evenings on the beach. It was on the
beach that Conman was his happiest. He would fish and hunt for crabs all
day. When the tide would go out he and his dear brother would take out
their skim boards and challenge each other to do different tricks.
Connor always made sure that any sea life that he and his brother caught
was always returned back to the sea so that they wouldn't be missed by
their Daddy & Mommy and could grow bigger in hopes of catching them
again on another day. Connor would always offer to use his own money to
buy his beach friends ice cream at the beach snack shack. Connor also
enjoyed taking morning bike rides to the beach to skim rocks, or to the
blueberry patch or down to the sand playground. He loved his life on the
Cape. About 4 years ago, Connor's Daddy gave him a leather journal so
that he could write down his goals. Connors ultimate goal was to be a
fighter pilot in the Air Force. He talked about it constantly and drew
pictures in his journal about how he wanted to help people as a pilot.
One of Connor journal entries were as follows: Dear Mommy & Daddy, I
want to be an Air force pilot and fly jets, don't worry about me mommy I
want to help people, Dear Mommy and Daddy I love you and you are the
best Mommy and Daddy ever and we have the best family. Amazingly Connor
almost always ended every journal entry with: Dear Mommy and Daddy I
love you and you are the best Mommy and Daddy ever and we have the best
family. Connor fought like a warrior to live. He constantly surprised
everyone with his strength and determination, while never complaining.
His heart NEVER gave up the fight because Connor did not want to leave
everything and everyone that he loves behind. He had a very positive
outlook on life with many goals and aspirations as clearly written by
him in his journal. Throughout his life Connor was a true inspiration to
all that knew him especially his Father and Mother, who never for a
second let Connor forget how much he was loved, admired and respected.
Connor Michael Edward Ciesielski will always be dearly loved by his
proud Daddy, Paul Edward Ciesielski, his loving Mommy, Lisa (LoVuolo)
Ciesielski, his best friend, comrade, protector and protectee - his
little brother Jack Patrick Edward Ciesielski, his dearest little
sister, Katherine "Kate" Rose Ciesielski. His loving Dappa & Nanna,
Ralph & Rosemary LoVuolo, his Grammy and Grampy, Ted & Lorraine
Ciesielski, his Great Aunt, Arlene Long, his aunts and uncles that loved
Connor as if he was their own son and never left his side Mark LoVuolo,
Michael & Tamara LoVuolo, Auntie Rip & Uncle Andy Phillips,
Auntie Judy & Mark Timney, Sharyn & Phil Haney and Uncle David
Ciesielski. He was loved by all of his cousins, Frank, Pat, Will, Mark,
Nicole, Michael, Sophia, Brady, Ava, Nolan, Andrew, Austin and Alex.
Connor was also loved by many, many friends in and outside of the North
Andover Community that prayed so very hard and was so encouraging to
Connor through his life and in his hours of need. Thank you! Relatives
and friends are cordially invited to attend his Mass of the Angels on
Friday, July 20th at 10am at St. Michaels Church, North Andover with
interment to follow in Ridgewood Cemetery. Calling hours will be on
Thursday, July 19th from 5- 8 pm at the Dewhirst & Conte Funeral
Home, 17 Third Street, North Andover, MA 01845. For those who wish,
Connor may be remembered through donations to the Jimmy Fund,
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, 10 Brookline Place, 6th Floor, Brookline,
MA 02445. For directions or to send online condolences, please visit www.contefuneralhomes.com.
