Tragedy has struck the world of reality television.
On Friday, Olivia Flowers confirmed that her brother, Conner, died at the age of 32.
“Conner was an amazing young man, with a gift of compassion and love for others, making friends everywhere,” Olivia’s family said in a statement.
“These values are instilled in his faith and his family.”
The statement ends as follows:
“We know his absence will be felt for many years. Please respect our privacy as we grieve the loss of our son and brother.
Family friend and Southern Charm alum Thomas Ravenel shared a social media tribute to his late friend on Wednesday, Feb. 1 … writing that Conner had died a few days earlier.
“RIP Conner Flowers 2/9/1990-1/30/2023 Words cannot describe how rare and extraordinary you were. You will be greatly missed by those who were so kind and selfless to you.
“Sincere sympathies to the broken-hearted family,” Ravenel captioned a montage of Instagram photos, including a picture of her and Conner drinking wine.
Flowers was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina.
He was “known by many as full of life and a fun-loving friend, as well as an avid golfer,” according to the Heritage obituary page.
Flowers most recently worked in real estate in Charleston and “treasured time with family,” according to the same obituary.

Conner’s obituary page notes that there will be a visitation service on Saturday, February 4, in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
Leslie Green – mother of Olivia’s costar and friend Taylor Ann Green – one of the many writing thoughtful notes for the Flowers family.
“Precious Olivia, Robin and Garry … please understand how heartbroken we are for the unspeakable loss,” Leslie wrote in the memories and condolences section of the website.
“We hold you in our hearts and pray for peace, comfort and God’s strength to carry you through. With love, Leslie and Rick Green (& the entire Taylor Ann family).
Flowers is survived by his parents, Garry and Robin, his sister Olivia and his grandfather.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Bunga’s name to LymeDisease.org or Pet Helpers, a nonprofit pet adoption center and spay/neuter clinic serving the community in Charleston, South Carolina.
We send our condolences to the loved ones of Conner Flowers.
May he rest in peace.
