Adored husband of Helena and beloved son of Sheila, on May 1st, peacefully and surrounded by family in the tender care of University College Hospital London’s One Grafton Way after living with an illness, Ewing’s sarcoma, borne with strength and dignity over the course of eight years. He was 32.
Predeceased by his father, Robert Lane, and his stepdad, Brent Parker, Conor is an irreplaceable loss to his wife and mother, and will be deeply missed by Helena’s parents and three sisters, extended family and friends in the US, Macmillan colleagues in London, former NUIG and City University London classmates, and his wide circle of friends in the UK, Ireland and around the world.
He was a devoted husband, son, son-in-law and brother-in-law, an empathetic friend and colleague, and a talented journalist and broadcaster. A cancer activist whose health series in The Irish Times heightened awareness of Ewing’s sarcoma and a dedicated volunteer who ran the London Marathon in 2021 to raise funds for Shine UK, Conor was a rare person who inspired many in the cancer community. May perpetual light shine upon him.
