Gerald W. O’Brien, Jr.
“Jerry”
February 20, 1961 – November 23, 2024
Jerry passed away peacefully after spending his final days surrounded by family and friends. He is predeceased by his parents, Jerry and Dolores O’Brien, and brother Scott O’Brien. Jerry will be missed by his daughters Melissa (Colin) Corner and Jess O’Brien, grandson Teddy Corner, and siblings Eileen (Marty) Wolff, Eric (Evy) O’Brien, Shawn (Tammy) O’Brien, and Scott’s life partner, Lisa Lodar, along with an extended family of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncle, cousins, and friends.
Jerry was an avid biker and was a member of several motorcycle clubs; the Widows Sons, American Legion Riders (Post 468), and the Patriot Guard Riders. He enjoyed riding for fun as well as participating in charity rides and supporting Veterans’ causes.
Jerry lived his life on his own terms, never losing sight of what was important to him. He worked hard to recover from double leg amputations and was determined to remain positive and maintain his independence. He was an inspiration to many.
The family would like to thank Jerry’s home care team, Erica Andressi and Karen Lane, as well as the incredible staff at Hildebrandt Hospice Center for their compassionate care and friendship with Jerry.
A celebration of Jerry’s life will be held at a future date.
