O’Brien, Todd William
November 20, 1969 ~ March 11, 2018
O’BRIEN, Todd William– It is with Shattered Hearts that we announce the passing of Todd O’Brien on Sunday, March 11, 2018 at Bluewater Health Palliative care, Sarnia, after a 14.5 month battle with cancer. He is lovingly survived by his wife Lisa (Sutherland/McMurphy). Todd was the only much loved son of Bill and Joyce O’Brien. He was the only sibling and fun loving brother to Stacey and Mike Moulton. Devoted father to Madyson O’Brien, loving and fun step dad to Travis (Sutherland/McMurphy) and Jordan and Celeste McMurphy. Kind and thoughtful son-in-law to Wayne Sutherland and sweet brother-in-law to Cynthia and Dave Herr and Jeff Sutherland. Devoted and very loving grandad to Emma and Parker. Fun and adventurous uncle to Kody and Jack Moulton, Peyton and Daniella Herr, and Ethan, Quinn and Monica Sutherland. Todd is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. Todd was the best friend and master ball thrower to Lola, and she went everywhere with him in the car. Todd was a union pipefitter and proud member of Local 663, where he was blessed with many true friends and workmates. Todd was also a licensed mechanic where his love of motors and loud machines was an obvious true lifelong passion.

Dear Bill & Joyce,
I was so saddened to hear of the loss of your son, Todd. Over the years I remember him as a wee lad once when you visited Bob and I. Full of fun. As I read the other condolences he had a great sense of humour like his dad. I pray that as you now walk this path of mourning that your hearts will find strength with the love and memories you have together. God Bless the whole family.
Love always
Your sister Teri

Dear Joyce, Bill, and Family. So sorry to hear about Todd. I remember him as a little boy, and a young man. Although we haven’t been close over the last few years, you are thought of often. I can’t help but think that Todd would be honoured by the decision to have an Irish send-off. We are currently in Florida, but rest assured that we will raise a glass to him on St. Paddy’s Day. Share the stories of his life, and he will live on.
Lisa & Family Sending you peace,love and prayers to you during this difficult time.
