'Heaven gained a new saint': Funeral for Michael Lovell, late Marquette President 

Marquette University held a funeral for Dr. Michael Lovell Thursday afternoon at The Church of the Gesu on Marquette's Campus.
Dr. Lovell, who was 57, passed away from Sarcoma on June 9 while on a trip to Rome.
"I believe heaven gained a Saint on June 9 in Rome," said Dr. Lovell's wife, Amy, at the funeral.
TMJ4 reporter Brendyn Jones attended the viewing of the funeral from the Al McGuire Center across the street.
Prior to the funeral, TMJ4 spoke to multiple people who were attending.
"He was a very technically accomplished person but he has a built-in softness and a soul in his heart," said Michael Farrell.
“The bottom line is there are very few people in this world that loved and breathed and represented Marquette better than Mike Lovell," said Jeff Altenberg, an Adjunct Professor at Marquette.
Inside the funeral mass, Lovell's wife, Amy shared words about Lovell as a leader.
“He prayed for the people his decisions would affect," Amy Lovell said. "He always found the good in the people he encountered."
