Racine – Robert Richard Connell, 53, passed away unexpectedly at his residence on September 7, 2019.  He was born in Milwaukee on December 22, 1965, son of the late William and Patricia (Nee: Pesko) Connell.

Bob was a coil winder for the Eaton Corporation. He liked to live life to the fullest and was always on the go. Bob had a sincere appreciation for nice vehicles and things that “go fast” including motorcycles, jet skis, and snowmobiles. His creativity and ingenuity are showcased in much of his work, including his home which was the ultimate expression for who he was. His ability to see the best in everything that he did, will leave a lasting impression on anyone who knew him. Bob had many family and friends that loved him and he will be truly missed.

Bob leaves to cherish his memory, his son, Gage (fiancé: Beth Maurer) Connell; brother, Mike (Romy) Connell; sister, Karen Deleon; nieces and nephews, Edward Connell, Michelle Connell, Stephen Connell, Samuel Connell, Lando Deleon, Sophia Deleon; former wife, Shellah Connell; his faithful canine companion, Digger; other relatives and dear friends too numerous to mention.

Bob is preceded in death by his parents, William and Patricia Connell.

A celebration of Bob’s life will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2019, 12:00pm, at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory, 4600 County Line Road. Visitation will be from 10:00am until the time of the service.

    When you came into my life, your heart touched mine and our souls were entwined. This “wound” will never heal. I know you will always watch over and protect the one thing, we did get right. I will miss your kind ways, smile, sense of humor, all that you were…..just YOU! May I walk at your side again, never in front of or behind, just how you made me feel in this life…. except this time we get it right, no “too much water” under the bridge. Until we meet again ….my friend…my ❤
