Michael and Rebekah McConnell, residents of Memphis, Tennessee, have shared 20 plus years of marriage built on deep love, unwavering faith, and extraordinary resilience. Their story is one of enduring partnership through life’s brightest joys and deepest sorrows.

Over the years, Michael and Rebekah built a home filled with love, laughter, and purpose. Their family was the center of their world, and they were devoted parents. Tragedy struck, however, when their beloved son was lost in a pedestrian crash, a heartbreaking event that profoundly shaped their lives.

In the wake of that unimaginable loss, Michael and Rebekah leaned on each other and their faith to carry them through the darkness. Rather than allowing grief to define them, they chose to honor their son’s memory by becoming advocates for pedestrian safety and by offering support to other families who have experienced similar losses.

Together, the McConnells continue to find meaning in their shared journey. They are a testament to the enduring power of love, a couple who have walked through fire and emerged with greater empathy, deeper faith, and a commitment to helping others.
