Thomas O'Brien Obituary
Thomas D. O'Brien, age 86, was called Home to the Lord on Good Friday, April 10, 2020, at Luther Manor Health Center in Wauwatosa. A man driven by faith who had a brave and beautiful soul. He had an innate ability to captivate the hearts of strangers and friends alike through poetry, song, and wisdom. It was an honor and gift to know him, to be loved by him, to learn from him, and to simply be in his presence. Remarkable Father of Scott (Piper) O'Brien, Michael (Marie) O'Brien, Patrick O'Brien, Jennifer (Ian Martin) O'Brien.

Brother of Timothy (Kay) O'Brien, Brother-in-Law of Jim (Peggy) Knorr, and adored by many other family and friends not mentioned here. We hope his legacy of love remains with you all.
