Mike is survived by his parents, Timothy and Mary (Rothrock) O'Brien. Before Mike, they were a happy couple, but he made them a family and filled their lives with more joy than they ever knew could exist. Also surviving are his sisters, Katie (Justin) Morrison and Michelle (James) Fitzgerald. Mike did everything a brother should do for his sisters—picked on them sometimes and protected them always. He was a wonderful uncle to Andrew, Maddie, and Jack, and never let a Christmas go by without making sure they opened up toys that would annoy their mom. He truly understood the meaning of unconditional love and expressed that to his daughter, Kiara. They were often separated by distance, but he always kept her close to his heart. Mike's greatest love was his fiancé, Courtney Horan. He loved her deeply and cared for her as she took her last breath just two years ago. He missed her terribly and knew she would be waiting for him. Also waiting for him in heaven were his grandparents, William and Mildred (Ryan) O'Brien and Virgil and Erma (Henderson) Rothrock.
Visitation for Mike will be from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM on Friday, February 18, 2022 at St. Jude Hettiger Hall, with Recitation of the Rosary at 7:00 PM. Funeral Mass will be on Saturday, February 19, 2022 at 10:30 AM at St. Jude Catholic Church, with a one hour prior visitation. Fr. Patrick Henehan will officiate. Burial with Military Honors will follow at Resurrection Cemetery.
