Brian O'Shea passed away on November 22, 2025, at the age of 45. He was born on March 12, 1980, to the late Catherine and Robert O'Shea of Stowe Twp.

His brother/guardian Dan helped tremendously and was by his side until he passed. Brian spent his later years at Allegheny Valley/Merakey Home in Ingram where he received outstanding care.
While Brian was confined to a wheelchair his entire life, nonverbal and blind, he could smile and laugh at the smallest things, a familiar voice or a pleasant sound.
Brian is survived by his loving brothers Bob (Brad Evans), Dan (Jenifer), Richard and many nieces/nephews and great nieces/nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Catherine and Robert O'Shea, brothers William, David and Michael (surviving spouse Nancy).
