A little more than two weeks have elapsed since the death of Conner Flowers, the brother of Southern Charm star Olivia Flowers. Thomas Ravenel of Southern Charm was the first to disclose Connor’s death in a since-deleted post, but the Flowers family issued a statement to Decider confirming Connor’s passing following Ravenel’s initial disclosure.
They shared, “Conner was a remarkable young man with the gift of compassion and love for others, which earned him friends wherever he went.” “His principles were rooted in his religion and family. We are certain that his absence will be felt by many for many years to come. Please respect our privacy as we mourn the unimaginable death of our son and brother.
Today, Olivia is expressing a more intimate homage to Conner on her Instagram page, where she has posted childhood images of her brother and their family with the caption:
“always looking up at him
Decent people pass away; the saintly frequently die prematurely.
No one seemed to comprehend that God is safeguarding them from impending evil. Isaiah 57:1″
Olivia also tweeted a tribute to her older brother on February 10 in honor of his 33rd birthday, had he lived. In the same message, she thanked her friends and admirers for their support. Conner, I wish you a Happy Holy Birthday anyway. My parents and I love you. On planet Earth, we miss you #33.”
She added, “Thank you to everyone who has contacted out and been so kind throughout this difficult time. The entire week spent surrounded by individuals who knew and loved Conner was a gift in and of itself. Please be certain that we have read each and every one of your messages.”
According to the local coroner in South Carolina, “the manner and cause of [Flowers’] passing are pending.”
