Bryan O'Neill

Bryan M. O'Neill, a cherished father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away on November 3, 2025, at the age of 48. Born on February 11, 1977, he was the son of the late Daniel and Patricia (Winnicki) O'Neill. Bryan's legacy is carried on by his loving daughters, Kayde O'Neill and Kennedy McMullin, and his adored grandson, Carter O'Neill. He is also survived by his brother, Daniel O'Neill and his constant companions, his dogs, Bailey and Steve. They were more than pets; they were members of his family, and he loved them greatly. The O'Neill family faced profound sorrow with the loss of Bryan's son, Ryan O'Neill, in 2019, and his brother, CJ O'Neill. His Irish heritage was a source of immense pride, and he celebrated it with gusto every St. Patrick's Day, sharing his joy with all who surrounded him. Bryan was a dedicated fan of the Chicago White Sox and the Bears, finding camaraderie and excitement in each game. Motorsports also captured his heart, fueling his love for speed and competition. Bryan was an active participant in his community, joining pool and bowling leagues where his competitive spirit and friendly nature made him a beloved teammate. Those who knew Bryan would describe him as loving-a man whose generosity knew no bounds. He was the type of friend who would quite literally give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. A celebration of Bryan's life will be held at a later date. An online guestbook has been made for the family, where you may sign the guestbook, share memories and photographs.
