Rangers Lead the Way
Connor Bednarzyk, 1992-2018
CPT Connor J. Bednarzyk was an inspiring and proud product of the Buckingham Community. He spent his elementary and secondary educational years in the Central Bucks School District and participated in local youth sports programs. The encouragement and mentorship Connor received in his formative years provided him the foundation to follow his passions. Connor was determined, hardworking, and a true team player. As a student and Army Officer he embraced his Buckingham roots by demonstrating leadership, compassion, and inclusiveness. As an Army Ranger, CPT Bednarzyk’s wise and humble character made him a natural and admired leader to those under his command. A lover of music, Connor often entertained his family and friends with the piano and guitar. CPT Bednarzyk was killed on September 7, 2018 during a training mission near Ft. Benning, Georgia. With full military honors, CPT Bednarzyk was laid to rest at Washington Crossing National Cemetery, reflecting his long-held wish to return to his native Bucks County.
