Paul Cabral Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by O'Brien Funeral Home - South Boston on Oct. 21, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Paul R. Cabral Jr., of Bingham Maine, formerly Quincy MA, passed away unexpectedly on October 16 2025 due to complications from a lifelong medical condition he ultimately succumbed to.

He is survived by his loving father, Paul R. Cabral Sr., his mother, Margaret M. Cabral-Haller, his step father, Daniel A. Haller, and his sister, Michelle Darling. He also leaves behind his nieces Tanya Darling and Marissa Darling, his nephew Ryan Darling, and his great-nieces and great-nephew - Shanelle Mosher, Christian Iglesias, and Cadence Iglesias - along with many cousins who loved him deeply.

Paul was one of a kind. He was bold, assertive, funny, and unapologetically himself. His sense of humor was sharp, his sarcasm unmatched, and he had a way of making everyone both laugh and think at the same time. He was passionate about his beliefs and never afraid to stand his ground - always convinced he was right (and more often than not, he was).
Beneath that tough exterior was a heart that loved fiercely and completely - sometimes to a fault. He cared deeply for his family and friends, and when he loved you, he loved you with his whole being.

Recently, Paul found a peace and happiness in his new home in Maine that he had never known before. Those who knew him best will remember his dry humor, his stubborn streak, and his deep, loyal love.

Visitation in the O'Brien Funeral Home 146 Dorchester St South Boston on Sunday October 26th from 2-6pm. Funeral Mass in St. Gregory Church 2215 Dorchester Ave Dorchester on Monday October 27th at 10am. Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend. Interment Blue Hill Cemetery, Braintree. Celebration of life following the burial at The Chateau in Braintree at 12pm.
