OBITUARY
Mike O’Connor
Michael G. O’Connor
reunited with his loving wife on
March 25, 2019.
Mike was born in Great
Falls, Montana on July 30, 1946
to Loren “Larry” O’Connor and
Helen (Larson) O’Connor. He
grew up and attended elementary and high school in Nashua,
Montana. After graduating from high school in 1964, Mike
joined the Army National Guard and finished his service with
the Army Reserves after being honorably discharged.
On June 29, 1968 Mike married his high school sweetheart
Maryann (Burns) O’Connor in Glasgow, MT where they called
home for a short time. It was then that Mike began his career
with Montana Power Company reading meters. He was later
accepted into an apprenticeship as a lineman in Havre. In 1972,
Mike and his family moved to Great Falls where he continued
work with Montana Power. In 1974, Mike was promoted to
the Town Manager position in Fort Benton. Mike was quick
to make friends and knew that this was the place he wanted to
raise his family and call “home”.
On May 13, 1982 Mike was injured in a work-related
accident in Loma, leaving him paralyzed. At the time of his
accident, doctors gave him only a few years to live. Mike refused
to let this slow him down and he beat the odds. In 1983, he
became the high school’s Athletic Director, dedicating himself
to the school’s athletic programs. He served in this capacity
until 1994.
He loved his family, the community of Fort Benton, high
school sports and Montana Grizzly Football. He enjoyed
playing cards, watching college basketball and football, and
going to coffee and “bushing” with his coffee crew.
Mike’s spirit was nothing short of amazing. He was an
inspiration to all that knew him. Despite injury, illness and
loss, he met every challenge with a smile on his face and rarely
a complaint.
Mike was preceded in death by his wife and love of his
life, Maryann; parents, Larry and Helen O’Connor; brother,
Daniel; and in-laws Donald and Anne Burns.
He is survived by siblings, Patrick (Nan) O’Connor,
Kathleen (Jim, deceased) Nicholls, and Colleen (Martin)
Johnson; daughter Kristi (Dwynn); son Brent (Lauren);
grandchildren Jeremiah, Madalyn, Hadley, Michael, Tyler and
Olivia and many nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held Friday, April 5, 2019 at
2:00 pm at the Fort Benton High School Gymnasium followed
by a reception at the Montana Agricultural Museum. Mike
was not one for formal attire so please feel free to wear your
favorite Montana sports apparel in his honor. A private burial
for family will occur at a later date.
