Our goal

Liam O'Connor tragically lost his life doing what he loved. Skateboarding. He wasn’t just a teacher. Liam had a gift for making students feel seen and heard. He encouraged them when they were nervous, believed in them when they doubted themselves, and celebrated every success—big or small. His kindness, patience, and ability to connect left an impression on everyone lucky enough to know him.

Liam was able to give our son a love of music.

I will miss Liam's "Zen-like" nature and his unwavering love of the drums, music and skateboarding. He was an amazing teacher. Our silly banter, discussing music, sharing stories and our telescope pictures also made every lesson special. We laughed together at our mistakes or improvisations, but that didn't matter too much. We were having so much fun, all while chugging down cans of cold Lime Spindrift during lessons. Good times and good memories. Thank You Liam! Honored to help a student shine!

We miss you, Liam. We lost a friend, a teacher, a band member, a rock star, a great talent. Liam brought joy, kindness, fun to our whole family and friends. We'll be eternally grateful to have crossed paths with him. Enabling others to succeed, and offering them an opportunity to thrive through music was part of Liam's mission. We are extremely grateful that Liam's legacy will continue through this fund and that deserving kids will keep his memory alive as they spread music through this world.
