Our family is devastated by the sudden and unexpected loss of my uncle, Tim O’Brien — a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, and a steady, selfless presence in our lives.
Tim worked hard and gave endlessly of himself to his family. After losing his job a while back, he was out of work for nearly a year. He had only recently returned when he passed, still in the process of getting back on his feet.
He was the full-time caregiver for his wife, Lynda, who is legally blind and on dialysis. He also helped care for my grandmother, always showing up when his family needed him most. That’s who Tim was—dependable, loving, and strong. His absence leaves a huge hole in all of our lives.
He leaves behind his children, Devon and Kellyn, and Granddaughter, Sydney, who are now trying to cope with this unimaginable loss while stepping in to care for their mother and handle the many responsibilities Tim carried.
We are raising funds to:
Cover funeral and memorial costs for Tim
Support Lynda’s continued medical needs and daily care
Ease the financial burden on Devon and Kellyn as they take over caregiving responsibilities
All money raised will go directly to Devon and Kellyn O’Brien, who will manage these expenses and care for their mom, just as Tim would have wanted.
Even the smallest donation helps more than you know. If you can’t give, please consider sharing this with others. Your love and support during this tough time mean the world to us.
With love and gratitude,
Ashly Tuttle
