Tragedy has rocked the world of reality television.
On Friday, Olivia Flowers confirmed that her brother, Conner, had died aged 32.
“Connor was a remarkable young man, with a gift of compassion and love for others that made him friends everywhere he went,” Olivia’s family said in a statement today.
“His values were sown in his faith and in his family.”
The statement ended as follows:
“We know he will be missed for many years to come. Please respect our privacy while we mourn the enormous loss of our son and brother.
Family friend and Southern Charm alum Thomas Ravenel posted a tribute to his late friend on social media on Wednesday, February 1, writing that Conner passed away a few days ago.
“Rip Conner Flowers 2/9/1990-1/30/2023 Words cannot adequately describe how rare and remarkable you were. You will be greatly missed by those for whom you were so kind and selfless.
“My sincere condolences to your heartbroken family,” Ravenel captioned a montage of Instagram photos, including photos of her and Conner drinking wine.
Flowers was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina.
He was known as a “full of life and a fun-loving friend as well as an avid golfer” according to his Legacy obituary page.
Flowers had recently worked in real estate in Charleston and “treasured time with his family,” according to the same obituary.
We have also taken the following photo from it.
Conner’s obituary page states that a visitation service will be held on Saturday, February 4, in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
Leslie Greene — the mother of Olivia’s co-star and friend Taylor Ann Greene — was one of the first to write a thoughtful note to the Flowers family.
“Precious Olivia, Robin and Gary … please know how heartbroken we are for your unspeakable loss,” Leslie wrote in the memories and condolences section of the website.
“We are holding you in our hearts and praying for God’s peace, comfort and strength to move on. With much love, Leslie and Rick Green (and all of Taylor Ann’s family).
Flowers is survived by his parents, Gary and Robin, his sister Olivia, and his maternal grandparents.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations in Flowers’ name to LymeDisease.org or to Pet Helpers, a non-profit pet adoption center and spay/neuter clinic serving communities in Charleston, South Carolina.
We extend our condolences to the loved ones of Connor Flowers.
May his soul rest in peace.
