William O'Brien

Born to William and Hannah O'Brien, William (Bill)
O'Brien lived a remarkable life filled with love,
adventure and deep devotion to family, After time in
England - where he rode his motorcycle and mastered
the art of fixing just about anything - he immigrated to
Canada and made a home in Markham, Ontario, where
he raised his family with pride and dedication.
A loving father to Corinne, Billy, Charlene and
Colleen, Bill was also a cherished grandfather and
great-grandfather. He found joy in the simple
pleasures of camping with his young family, traveling
and especially golf and loved making every Christmas
unforgettable with warmth and wonder.
Bill had a lifelong passion for cars and racing-
especially Formula One- and loved nothing more than
taking a drive in his Cadillac. Whether he was under
the hood fixing a car or behind the wheel enjoying the
road, his love of driving was as strong as his love for
those around him.
A skilled mechanical engineer, Bill worked proudly for
Goodyear until his retirement, known for his incredible
ability to fix anything he was a true handyman and
problem-solver.
Above all Bill was a storyteller. His tales of growing
up in Ireland were legendary- woven with humor, heart
and history. He brought the past to life with every
story, leaving his family entertained but deeply
connected to their roots.
Bill O'Brien leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter
and craftmanship. He will be remembered always for
the warmth of his presence, the strength of his hands
and the stories that will live on through generations.
