We are heartbroken to share that Bryan Connell, husband to Rachel and father to Jackson (9) and Georgia (6), passed away unexpectedly last night.

There are no words for this kind of loss.

Bryan was the kind of man who showed up, consistently and without needing recognition.

At school, you saw him coaching, helping at Dad’s Club events, investing in kids, and making people feel welcome. At church, he served faithfully. At home, he was everything to his family.

A loving husband. A present, engaged dad.

The steady center of their world.

And now, everything has changed.

Friends and family are coming together around Rachel, Jackson, and Georgia to support them, care for them, and help carry them through the days ahead.

We are heartbroken with them.

This page has been created as one way to show the Connell family how much they are loved and cared for, and that we are standing with them as they navigate what lies ahead.

All funds raised will go directly to Rachel to support the family’s immediate and future needs as she cares for Jackson and Georgia.

If you can give, thank you.

If you can’t, sharing matters more than you know.

This family has given so much to this community.

Now it’s our turn to show up for them.
