Established: 2017
Justin O’Connor was a loving son and caring brother. Only 17 years old, he was a generous friend and gifted athlete whose joy and love for life were contagious. Justin was entering his senior year of high school with a dream of playing college baseball. That dream ended on an early morning in July 2017 because of distracted driving. His family started the Justin O’Connor Memorial Fund at Eastern Carolina Community Foundation to honor Justin’s memory and share his dreams with other young people.
