Obituary of Kevin Britt O'Leary

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Kevin O’Leary at his home in Kennebecasis Park on April 7, 2008, son of the late Constance (Britt) and Charles Hubert O’Leary; husband of Catherine Ann (Quinn) O’Leary and father to Daniel of Kennebecasis Park, NB, Justin of Kitchener, ON., Ryan (Cindy) of Grand Falls, NB, Cathleen of Kennebecasis Park, and loving “Poppy” to grandson Corie Ryan O’Leary of Kennebecasis Park. He leaves two sisters, Valerie and Colleen O’Leary of Kennebecasis Park, Uncle Philip O’Leary of Fredericton, several nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law. He was predeceased by his parents and his brother Michael. Kevin was born Sept 30, 1947 in Fredericton, N.B. He attended St Thomas University and later worked with the John Howard Society. For many years he has been employed by the Center for Youth Care Inc. in Saint John. Kevin was a man of few words but his concern and care for his clients spoke volumes. He was a member of the Knight of Columbus, Grand Bay-Westfield branch. Kevin enjoyed traveling, sports, in particular golf and his beloved Boston Bruins. He supported the sports endeavors of his children and was their number one fan, always there to cheer them on. Kevin was not only a father, a husband and a “Poppy”; he was a friend to his sons, daughter, grandson and wife. He will be sadly missed. Resting at Brenan’s Select Community Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John (634-7424) with visiting hours on Wednesday and Thursday from 2… 4pm and 7-9pm. Kevin’s family invite friends and family to a Mass of celebration of his life to be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, Rothesay, on Friday, April 11th at 12:30pm, followed by a reception in the church hall. Interment will follow at a later date at St. Joseph’s Cemetery. For those who wish, remembrances to Divine Mercy Catholic School or a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
