Helping Anthony O’Connell Honor His Father’s Memory 
 
Introduction 

We are heartbroken to share that Jimmy O’Connell, born July 1, 1960, passed away on Wednesday, January 14, 2025, after bravely battling cancer. 

Jimmy was not only a loving father but a devoted single parent who raised his only child, Anthony O’Connell, completely on his own. He did whatever was necessary to make sure his son was cared for, supported, and raised with strong values. 

A Father’s Legacy 

Jimmy taught Anthony how to be strong, respectful, and most importantly how to be a man. He was Anthony’s entire world—his father, his family, and his foundation. Now, Anthony is facing the unimaginable pain of laying to rest the only family he has ever known. 

Why We Are Asking for Help 

In the midst of deep grief, Anthony is also facing the financial burden of funeral/cremation and final expenses on his own, while still raising children. During this time of sorrow, any support would help him give his father the proper burial and respect he deserves for a lifetime of sacrifice and love. 

How You Can Help 

Any contribution—no matter the size—will go directly toward funeral expenses and immediate needs. Thank you for showing compassion and kindness to a young man who is about to bury his father—his only family. Your generosity will help Anthony honor his dad’s memory with dignity and love. 

We are deeply grateful for your support during this difficult time. God bless everyone, thank you.
