William O'Brien Obituary

William M. "Billy" O'Brien, III
of Hudson, NH; 36

HUDSON, NH - William M. "Billy" O'Brien, III, age 36, a resident of Hudson, NH died unexpectedly on Friday, July 13, 2018 at his home.

He was born in Lowell on December 16, 1981, and was a son of the late William M. O'Brien, Jr. and the late Bernadette M. (Goforth) O'Brien. He received his education in Lowell School.

Billy was employed for many years as a painter.

Billy was a fun loving, generous man who had a passion for singing and dancing, which earned him the nickname "Happy Feet". He also loved motorcycles and recently he became a proud member of the Hillsborough County NH Ruff Ryders.

His greatest enjoyment came from time spent with his loving family, especially his adoring daughters. His daughters were his world and he treasured his time with them, whether it was practicing sports or just having fun.

Billy is survived by his daughters, Ciera and Selena O'Brien and their mother, Crystal Burns and her husband Derek, all of Nashua, NH, and his daughters, Alexa O'Brien and Brianna O'Brien and their mother Melissa Gingras, all of Hudson, NH; his brother, Shaun O'Brien and his wife Anne Lacasse of Nashua, NH; his three sisters, Chandra Wheeler and her husband Jacob of Derry, NH, Chayna O'Brien of Gardner, and Katherine Harrington of Ashburnham; and many nieces and nephews.

O'BRIEN - Relatives and friends are invited to attend Billy's Life Celebration at the MCKENNA-OUELLETTE FUNERAL HOME, 327 Hildreth Street, Lowell on Wednesday from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM.

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to ME". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

My sweet, sweet boy, the sun will never shine as bright as it did when you walked this earth. I will miss your beautiful blue eyes, and your silly ways. The way you lit up a room, everytime you walked into one. And your beautiful smile. God took you too soon. I love you so much and will miss you forever, my beautiful boy. ❤
Love you always,
Ma

Daddy, I miss you soooo much already. You have no idea how many people love you. And will always love you. You always knew how to make someone happy. Make them laugh, make them smile, and just so much more. I have no idea what to say except for the fact that I miss you with every ounce of my body. Your hugs. Your hugs were my absolute favorite hugs. Your sarcastic remarks when I text you, mostly because i said something stupid lol, or when I'd call you, you'd pick up the phone and say house keeping or when I'd go there or you'd come here and we'd play catch, or just sit on the front porch and laugh and joke and act a fool. I miss absolutely everything about you. About who you are. About everything. You're my best friend. Always. Im so so sorry about everything you have gone through. Anything you have ever struggled with. You are so so so dearly missed daddy-o. You loved when I called you that. I hope you're enjoying being back with your momma, and that you guys party all night, and dance all day AND night!!!! I love you with my whole body. Alexa, Selena, and Brianna will always have be by their side. Their older sister will NEVER leave them to be alone. Ever. I promise to look after them and be the best big sister for them. I promise promise promise ❤ As you would always say Okay I love you, bye-bye! Love forever and always; Munchkin ❤

Fly high Boob. Til we meet again, Rest easy.
