Michael L. Connell

"Able to leap tall buildings in single bound......" That is the way I saw Mike. Bullet proof. Indestructible. So.....when I got the call on that awful Friday night, my first thought was that there must be some mistake. Not THAT Mike Connell. HE would NEVER leave his family.
I only knew him casually, thru the family. I knew him well enough to admire & respect him. In the last 8 years or so I observed how he gave himself to you, Lauren, Patrick, Austin, Maddie and to Heather. I...

Dear Heather,

Our prayers are with you and your children. Through all the years of working with Mike off and on and knowing both of you, you all have been a true blessing to all. May the Lord's love and guidance be with you in this difficult time.

Dear Heather, Lauren, Patrick, Austin and Madison,
We are sorry over Michael's passing. He was a deeply loving Husband and Father as well as an extraordinary man. Despite time-consuming business commitments, he spent quality time with all of you. What you'll see with each passing day is that his deep involvement in your lives will be a source of affection and inspiration.
We always thought well of Michael and believed he was an extraordinarily good, down-to-earth and decent...

To the Connell family,
May the prayers of your friends and family strengthen and comfort you. "Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee..." {Isaiah 41:10}

Our prayers are with you,
Dan & Vickie Evans

My deepest sympathies to Mike's friends and family. My prayers go out to you all. Last week, I recieved the annual Connell family newsletter and smiled at the glowing stories and photos of the family adventures. It was always amazing to see the continued growth of Mike's love of family and deep faith. It was quite an evolution from his early days in the Bush '88 Iowa headquarters.

May God bring you comfort during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Those we love are forever in our hearts. May you find some peace and comfort at this difficult time knowing that your loved one is watching over you from a far better place.

My deepest sympathy to you in such a terrible time. I enjoyed working on Mike's planes - He was always so considerate and congenial - Truly a great loss to all of us!

Dear Connell family,
We are so sorry for your loss and extend our deepest sympathy. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

May he Rest in Peace...So sorry for your loss!
