Brian O'Callaghan passed away on October 13th, at the age of 34, after a long battle with colon cancer. He leaves behind his wonderfully devoted wife Debbie, and two adorable daughters, Eileen, 7, and Abbey, 5.
Brian O'Callaghan and Debbie Hynes were high school sweethearts. In August 2013, devastating news would change the course of their lives forever. Brian had colon cancer. Brian fought, with Debbie alongside, for three long years. Through several hospital stints, Brian never spent a day or night in the hospital alone. Debbie always made sure either she or someone else was with him. Until the final hour of Brian's life, Debbie was there. Brian and Debbie fought for each other until the end and went down swinging.
While we grieve his loss, and mourn with Debbie and the girls, we remember that Brian was not only a husband and father, but a son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to SO many. His larger than life personality, quick wit, kindness, concern for others, and love of music touched so many lives. He will be sorely missed.
What can I do to help?
Consider making a generous donation to help Debbie and the girls as they transition into this new chapter in their lives.
Brian was the sole breadwinner, and his loss has an immediate impact, including the loss of health insurance. Funds raised will help with any remaining funeral and medical bills, as well as day-to-day expenses in the short term.
Thank You,
Phil and Danielle (Wurster) Hoden
