Michael Connell Obituary
Born on November 4, 1970, in Blackfoot, Idaho to Mary Lynn and Bill Connell. Mike grew up in a large family as the fifth of 12 children.
Spending his early years in Buhl and Soda Springs, Idaho, he developed a love for baseball and wrestling. Later, he moved to Marietta, Georgia, where he graduated from Marietta High School.
Mike's life was filled with numerous stories and fun facts that highlighted his vibrant personality. He leaves behind a legacy of love and memories for his family and friends to cherish.
Mike is survived by his father, William Ray Connell; his siblings Monte (Marielena), Terri (Scott), Jim, Billi (Stan), Becky (Randie), Connie, Mary (Damon), Lori, Lena (Vern), Jenny, and Rocky (Crystal); 24 nieces and nephews; and 11 great-nieces and nephews.
His mother, Mary Lynn Jardine Connell, preceded him.
Mike's family and friends will deeply miss him.
