He will be deeply missed by parents Wayne and Marianne; sister Laura (Russ Conly); the love of his life Thy-Thy Quach; grandmother Alvina Morgan and step grandmother Agnes Dusterbeck; as well as aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents Latham and Mary Dusterbeck; grandfather Lorne Morgan; and uncle Don Dusterbeck. Conrad attended W.H. Ford School, Luther College High School and graduated with great distinction from the University of Regina with bachelor degrees in Arts and Education. The highlight of his teaching career was working with the staff and students at Gladys McDonald School in Regina. He also had a great interest in Japanese culture and language and spent a year teaching in Japan. Conrad had a passion for art and music. In his younger years he spent many hours with his grandfather Lorne learning how to draw. He also had the talent to express himself musically through his song writing and onstage performances as a member of local bands She Kills Me and Empire Choir. Music was truly therapeutic for Conrad. Conrad loved movies. He had an eclectic taste in film and he acquired a vast collection of movies and music. He had the opportunity to share his passion with customers at HMV where he was employed throughout his high school and university years. He developed many close relationships with staff and clientele. Conrad loved spending time with his family and friends and appreciated the simple pleasures in life. After being diagnosed with brain cancer in 2007, Conrad continued to live his life to the fullest. He never complained and he accepted his diagnosis with courage and dignity. The name Conrad means brave counsel. He lived up to his name and will remain forever in our hearts. Special thanks to Dr. Ekong and all of the medical professionals that assisted him on his journey. A celebration of Conrad's life will take place at a later date. Flowers most gratefully declined. Donations may be made in memoriam to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. (www.braintumour.ca)
