To all the McConnell Family, I got to work with your Son, Brother, husband and Dad when he came to Colorado these past few years. I was impressed with his love and kind stories about his family. He was such a sweetheart! And he loved his yellow highlighters, so I always had some on had for him. Blessings on your family.

Laura, Cayley, and Alysa - A big man, bigger than life. I was inspired by his humor and perseverance in the face of tribulation and daunting demands. He made coming to work a pleasure although we only worked together for a short period of time. That said we became lasting friends interested in each others personal lives. He lived a full life, grateful for all that he was blessed with, the most important being is loving family.

A gentle man who fought his battles with grace and positivity. I was fortunate to have had lunch with him on his last day in the office. Laura, Cayley and Alysa - my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of a husband and dad! Everyone who knew John fully understood that his heart belonged to you three. I will keep you in my prayers.

Judy and the entire McConnell family, I heard terrible the news last night and I am truly at a loss for words. Having only met John recently at the funeral home, my first and last impression of him was that we was a good man, a straight shooter, and an all around stand up guy. Our hearts are breaking for you folks but please know if there is anything you need, we're here for you. Rest easy my friend.
