Conor Jake Volz, 23, of Williston, North Dakota passed away Sunday morning at his home.

May 28th will forever hold the feeling of the day our beloved son, brother, uncle and friend to many, lost his battle against drug addiction. It will forever change the loved ones he left behind.

Conor was born February 15, 1994 to Danny Volz and Marti Pankowski of Williston, ND. Conor was baptized and confirmed into the Lutheran faith. He was raised in Williston and attended K-12 at Williston Public Schools. Conor loved to dress up for his high school formals. During this time he worked at the Windshield Doctors where he learned the art of tinting windows, which he would do for many of his friends and family. He attended one year of college in Minot State. After that year he decided to move back to Williston and help his “Madre” in the bartending business at Buster’s Bar, where he was still employed at the time of his passing.

Conor was enjoyed by everyone who walked through the doors. He had an infectious giggle and smile that would light up a room! He had a way with people; he could turn your bad day into a great day by just one smile and a pat on the back or a big hug. He could talk to anyone and go away with that person feeling like they made a new friend. He remembered your name even if he only met you once. Buster’s Bar will never be the same without our beloved bearded bartender Conor!

Conor got his first motorcycle at the age of 7 and he was a natural. From that day he never was without one. He had a love for motorcycles, quads, snowmobiles, hunting and just hanging out with friends. Conor enjoyed working on cars with his “Papa Dan” and dreaming of future cars that they would together someday own. Their snowmobile trips will never be forgotten. Conor was an avid outdoorsmen and loved hunting with his dad, stepdad, grandpa and uncles.

Since day one, Conor’s pride and joy was always his sisters, Hannah and Miranda and then later his niece Marlaina. His life revolved around them, loyal and dedicated.

In Conor’s teen years he always had a big group of his friends who if you saw one you knew the others were close behind. Anyone that knew Conor will miss him dearly…his personality was one of a kind. He had such a huge heart and went out of his way to make you feel special.

His beloved dog “Boo”, who was always at Conor’s side, will forever miss him. Rest easy, our boy, and enjoy being back with Dylan and Michael. Now three of the original “Peach Fuzz Mafia” are back together.
