Tony Carl McConnell met his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, January 14th in Maryville, TN while at home with his wife and children. He was a beloved husband, father, mentor, friend, and disciple of Christ.
He was born and raised in Blount County and graduated from Alcoa High School in 1975. He worked 20+ years for Wendy’s of Knoxville and another 20+ years at Newell Rubbermaid. Tony loved being active at Foothills Church in the Deacon Ministry, Care & Prayer Ministry and Hospitality. He is survived by his wife Michelle of 31 years and children Leann and Matthew.
Tony’s greatest desire was to finally be called home and rejoice with the Lord in Heaven. While his earthly body is no longer with us, we rejoice alongside him that he is Home.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you.
