They bring comfort and they will for months and years to come.
It is a wonderful gift that we can so easily share stories of how Conan touched our lives.
Here are a few excerpts from some of the facebook posts:
To deal with something no one could imagine but still manage to bring joy and inspiration to those around him. I don't get attach to a lot of people but I can truly say he is someone who helped me in a great way. He had faith in me the minute I stepped on the field.
My heart is heavy today for anyone who knew Conan Dalton , but especially for his baby girl due in February who will never get to meet her daddy. I will forever be confused about why things like this happen to such great people... praying his wife and family can find strength knowing the suffering is over and Conan is finally at peace.
RIP Conan. In all the years I have know you I have never known you to be nothing but a great friend. I, among others, will miss your smile. Love you man!
You always said, "To be on time is late and to be early is on time". We all are saying it was too early but I'm sure you knew it was right on time. You were such a wonderful person. Words cannot describe how hard this is. You were one of the best coaches I have ever had. You showed me the strength within me and also showed all of us the strength you had within yourself. I can't count how many times you pushed me and helped me become a better person and athlete. The lessons you taught all of us weren't just for soccer they were also for life. I am so thankful to have been able to call you a coach and a friend. I am so blessed to have the memories. I will never forget you and all you've taught me Conan Dalton.
Heading to bed with a heavy heart and hopes that in heaven's soccer matches everyone uses their left foot- or they're going to hear about it from coach Conan Dalton. You'll be greatly missed.
I'm so thankful that I was able to know such a wonderful person. Someone who genuinely cared about everyone else before himself, even when he was going through such a rough time.

I have a very heavy
heart tonight as I think about how this world has lost a great guy. He wasn't
just a classmate but a friend from my first day of school to the last soccer
game we coach against each other. Praying for his family as they have some hard
days ahead of them. RIP Conan
Dalton. I will miss ya on the sideline.
