My heart breaks for Vicki, Petey, Johnny & Ryan and families. John was a great boss at CFSL and at the USDA. A great mentor and good friend. I hate that we lost touch the last few years! John loved his family and so proud of his kids! He will be so missed!
We were so saddened to hear that John had passed-away. John was a childhood friend and teammate on those wonderful days of Southwest Longhorn football. John will be missed.
Our sincere condolences to Vicki and all of the McConnell family members.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of John. We graduated with John from Southwest High School in 1964. Wonderful memories of all those years. He worked with us on several reunions. I know he will be truly missed. Our sympathy to Vickie and his whole family.
My heart goes out to you and all of your family.. Truly sorry for your loss
So saddened to hear about John’s passing. He was a childhood friend and classmate at Southwest HS. My condolences to his family.

To Vicki and the McConnell family – I’m so sorry for your loss. I went to Southwest High School with John and have many fond memories.
May he Rest In Peace.
We were neighbors when his family moved to St Louis and we attended Southwest High Together
He will be terribly missed
My condolences to his entire family
Vicki, So sorry to hear of John’s passing. Still remember John and Petey coming to our first girl’s softball practice. Little did John know he was to become my assistant coach. Great guy!! I know he will be missed by your whole family and his extended SW Longhorn family. Bob and Barb Strathman
I was hoping I would not come across this obituary but I was afraid I would someday. It was a pleasure caring for John, despite the most unfortunate of circumstances. Vicki, you and your family were so lovely and well deserving of a miracle if there was one to be had. It was wonderful getting to know your family and talking sports with everyone but John – Hallmark movies were fun to talk about with him, though. Getting to know incredible individuals like you all is refreshing and a reminder of why I chose the career I did.
I’m so very sorry for your loss but find comfort in knowing that John is no longer suffering. You guys have been in my thoughts for months and I will continue thinking of you all as you navigate the road to healing. Many, many hugs. <3
So very sorry for your loss
