Stephen Gibbs

Mcconnell

Stephen Gibbs McConnell, also known as MAC, passed away on June 25, 2025 at age 73.

Stephen is proceeded in death by his loving parents, Raymond McConnell and Maxine Ramberg McConnell of Michigan.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Ginger Eileen McConnell of Wichita Falls. Also, his six children; Sue Hopkins and husband Doug Hopkins, Mark McConnell, Chris McConnell, Jennie Chadwick, Doug McConnell, and Angela Garcia and husband Adrian Garcia. He has 11 grandkids and 7 great-grandkids.

Stephen lived a life full of love, laughter, and tons of jokes. He proudly served in the U.S. Air Force, graduated from DeVry University, rode bulls in many rodeos, and was a whiz with computers. He never met a stranger, he would help anyone in need, and did it all with a smile.

For the past four, almost five years he had the best caregiver from Visiting Angels in Wichita Falls. Juan Perez was the most caring, patient, and loyal caregiver and turned out to be Stephen's best friend. Juan not only made sure he was doing the basic caregiving, but he would go above and beyond, even played games with Stephen and talked for hours.

He loved his family wholeheartedly to the very end, he was still trying to make sure his wife was happy and laughing with us. He is loved by many and he will be missed dearly.  He will continue to live on through our memories!

A celebration of Stephen's life will be held Sunday, July 6th, 2025 at 2:00pm at the Lucy Park Cabin in Wichita Falls.
