Express - MySQL conn.end() is not functioning (Cannot enqueue after invoking quit) - mysql

Question

I have already read the post Node Mysql Cannot Enqueue a query after calling quit, the conn.end() is in my query block.
My issue is that conn.end in my dashboard.js does not work and breaks the app with the following error.
I need to use it because MySQL connections are flooding the system till Database stop accepting more of them since they all stay open each time that are used.
For this post I will use only one (dashboard.js) of the several routes of my NodeJS application.
`Event.js` is not a part of my working files, probably is a file from `./node_modules`
|events.js:183
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
