William O'Brien Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Poole Funeral Home & Cremation Services - Woodstock on Jul. 15, 2024.

William ‘Bill’ O’Brien of Woodstock passed away Sunday, July 14th, 2024.

Bill was born on December 7, 1953, to William and Catherine O’Brien in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Bill was an amazing man. He was a loving husband and father. He was married to the love of his life, Donna, for almost 30 years. Spending time with his family was one of his great joys in life. He enjoyed coaching his son’s softball team and was an all-around wonderful family man.

Bill was a natural engineer; he loved to tinker and build. He was able to take scraps and random bits and see something new and complete. He had a passion for computers, often he could be found working on his own. He loved UFO’s and aliens. He found the idea of life beyond our world fascinating.

Bill was strong, he was a fighter. He was determined to outlast the doctors’ prognosis; and he did.

He was loved and will be greatly missed by the many people in his life.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, William and Catherine Uetrecht O’Brien.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Donna O’Brien; sons, Adam O’Brien and Keith O’Brien; grandson, David O’Brien, sister, Mary Robinson, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, July 18, 2024, from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm. Funeral services will be held on Friday, July 19, 2024, beginning at 12:00 pm. Services will be at Poole Funeral Home in Woodstock, Georgia.

Family and friends are invited for fellowship and food following the funeral service at Liberty Hill UMC at The Mill, 225 Reformation Pkwy, Canton, Georgia.

In honor of his wishes, Bill will be cremated afterwards.
