Brian O'Donnell Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 17 to Feb. 18, 2023.
On Saturday, February 11th, 2023 Brian C O'Donnell, 62, grew his wings to join his beloved mother Charlotte O'Donnell. He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by the company of his best friend Jennifer of 26 years after a long battle with cancer.

He was an amazing friend and Uncle "Doodles" to Madison, Sydney-Anne, Melana, Violette, and Ava.

He loved spending quality time with his adopted family in Texas, traveling the world, drinking fine wine, gardening, cooking, baking, watching Peppa Pig with Ava, going to the market for groceries, drinking coffee, blaring Marilyn Manson, The Beach Boys, Dancing to the Rocky Horror Picture show, creating unique art, studying menus, and eating good food.

Doodles was known for his humor, wit, big heart, kindness, thoughtfulness, generous spirit, "deep fry nights", and Saturday night parties.

He is survived by his brother Scott and his sister Sue.

He will be truly missed and will never, ever be forgotten. I love you Poo bear! See ya later Doodles.

There will be a celebration of life and releasing of his ashes on his favorite island of Exuma in May 2023.
