Young & Restless Youngster Judah Mackey Grieves the Loss of His ‘Papa’: ‘I Know He Will Always Be With Me’

Genoa City youth’s beloved family member will be missed every day.

Young Judah Mackey, who plays the charming Connor Newman on Young & Restless shared a touching memorial post on social media in tribute to his ‘Papa’, as he grieves the loss of the man he saw as “the smartest, most generous person,” who “loved his family so much.”

Mackey shared a beautiful series of photos of himself with his Papa that spanned from the time he was a baby until the present and spoke about the special things he’ll look back on. “I’ll miss our talks about space and the universe, woodworking in his shop, playing cards, watching the races and going on hikes together.”
