The McConnells tragically lost their son, Tyler, age 28 on January 27 in Boulder, Colorado. Tyler was laid to rest on Saturday, February 1 next to his grandfather, James Stewart in the Ash Grove Cemetery near the McConnells home. 

His devastating and untimely death has left the McConnells with unexpected funeral expenses to bring him home to Missouri. Family members and friends have already stepped up to cover more than half of the funeral expenses. The McConnells are AG Missionaries and generous churches and friends have been donating through the AGWM account #221995(09). For those outside of the AG that would like to give, we wanted to offer a way to do so.

For additional funds raised that go over covering the final expenses we'd also like to contribute money to support Heather and Dwight as they take time to grieve and find space to heal. Ideally, we’d love to have funds in excess to send Heather and Dwight back to Namibia where Tyler was born.
