Michael J. O'Neill, a retired FBI special agent in Cincinnati and pilot for Air Carriers Inc. in Bessemer, Ala., died Dec. 1 in a plane crash there.

        A devout Catholic, he served as lector and distributor and sang in the choir in several parishes. He moved to Alabama to fly for a mission there.

        “He was a wonderful person who was very caring and always reaching out to people,” his wife said. “Whatever he did he just put his whole self into it.”

        Mr. O'Neill was a member of Southern Gateway Chorus..

        In addition to Jacqueline, his wife of 38 years, survivors include two sons, Michael O'Neill of Fort Myers, Fla., and Timothy O'Neill of Fort Myers Beach, Fla.; three daughters, Caroline Seta of Bridgetown, Christa O'Neill of Miami Heights and Kiera O'Neill of Birmingham, Ala.; a brother, Timothy J.
