Conrad had many gifts and was skilled with his hands. He obtained a certificate in computer technology. He was an avid hockey lover and excelled as a young teenager. He maintained his love for hockey into his later years. He loved the outdoors, being on the water in his boat, on the land in his camper and snowmobile in the winter. He was very active and found the time to play slow pitch fastball in the summer. He genuinely loved his family, was loyal to his friends and loved to tease and laugh, spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was always there to lend a helping hand. Like many Indigenous children he experienced childhood trauma and rose above those experiences to become a productive and respected community member. He was a staunch protector of Indigenous rights and honoured the spirit of children impacted by difficult experiences.
