He was deeply loved and respected by his community homes of Little Rock and Sheridan. Conrad was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church of Sheridan and a proud member of the Iron Springs Masonic Lodge in Landmark. One of the great loves of Conrad's life was his grandfather, Charlie Ward, who taught him the skills of his life's passions, hunting and fishing. Conrad was an avid sportsman and an excellent provider for his family. He was rarely seen without a smile, and he always had a funny story to tell.
