Michael Conner a.k.a. Big Mike was so much more than a great security guard. Mike was a cherished friend, a loving grandfather, and a beacon of wisdom for all the kids who crossed his path.

Mike always went above and beyond his duties, greeting MRHS with a warm smile every morning and ensuring our safety with unwavering dedication. But his impact went far beyond the walls of our school. Mike had a way of making everyone feel seen and heard, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew him. As a friend, Mike was always there to lend a listening ear or offer his worldly advice. His calming presence could turn the toughest day into a brighter one, and his humor never failed to bring a smile to peoples’ faces. Whether it was a joke in the hallway or a quiet chat on a tough day, Mike’s friendship was a gift many will always treasure.

To his grandchildren, Mike was a source of endless love and guidance. He shared his stories, his wisdom, and his unwavering support with them, shaping their lives in ways only a true grandfather can. His legacy of kindness and compassion will live on in each of them, a testament to the man he was.

For many at MRHS, Mike was a mentor and a role model. His time was always offered, his advice always heartfelt, and his presence always comforting. Mike Conner touched MRHS in ways we will never forget, and his memory will continue to bring smiles for years to come. Though he may no longer walk the halls of our school, his spirit will forever remain, watching over us like the guardian angel he truly was. Rest in peace, Mike Conner.  ***Please feel free to use the comment function below to leave your condolences and well wishes.***
