Obituary for Mr. Bill O’Bryan William “Bill” Larry O’Bryan passed away on the morning of Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at his home in Owensboro, KY. He was born on October 17, 1951 in Daviess County, KY.

He is survived by his wife of 41 years Rebecca “Becky” Hamilton O’Bryan; his daughter, Katie Lynn O’Bryan of Owensboro, KY; his son, Dr. John Benjamin O’Bryan of Seattle, WA; his brother, Ronald (Kathy) O’Bryan of Kokomo, IN; his brother, Patrick (Susan) O’Bryan of Owensboro, KY; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins across the nation. Bill was retired from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1701. He also worked at Green River Steel and Century Aluminum.
Bill was a truly kind-hearted and compassionate person. He shared his inherited loyalty and devotion to family with his mother. He inherited his father’s sense of curiosity, ingenuity, penchant for mischief, and general stubbornness.
Bill loved to laugh and often playfully ribbed those close to him. He was an avid outdoorsman, loving animals and hearty campfire-style breakfasts. Most importantly, he was truly proud of the accomplishments of both his children, never once doubting their ability to accomplish their dreams.
