Conner Flowers, the brother of Southern Charm star Olivia Flowers, passed away on January 30, 2023, at the age of 32 due to Lyme disease, which he had battled for nearly two decades. Conner had faced several misdiagnoses and unnecessary medicinal treatment at a young age because of how complex and incredibly difficult it is to diagnose Lyme disease. The Flowers family confirmed the news of Conners passing and released a statement to Us Weekly, saying, "Conner was a remarkable young man, with the gift of compassion and love for others, earning him friends everywhere he went. His values were seeded in his faith and in his family. We know his absence will be felt by many for years to come. Please respect our privacy while we grieve the overwhelming loss of our son and brother". Olivia Flowers shared that Conners final words to her were, "Everyone knows me as your sister. Like, everywhere I go they’re like, ‘Oh, you’re Conner’s sister. I don’t think I can throw as many parties as you did. I don’t know as many people." Conner laughed and joked that he was "passing on the torch" to Olivia. The brother-sister duo ended the call by saying they would see each other "soon" and telling the other they love them.
