Timothy O'Brien

Timothy A. O’Brien, 55, of Brookfield, OH, passed away Sunday morning, November 23, 2025, following an extended illness.

He was born April 13, 1970, in Sharon General Hospital, a son of James and Carole (Greenlee) O’Brien. He graduated from Brookfield High School in 1988, where he was a standout on the varsity basketball team. He matriculated at Colorado State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree.

Full of entrepreneurial spirit, Tim’s main interests were real estate and land development. He owned and operated Landtech Excavating and O’Brien Real Estate. His business acumen brought several major businesses to invest locally.

With a kind heart and quick wit, Tim was always willing to help others, often putting their needs before his. Regardless of the time of day, he was ready to unlock a door, bring needed money, or drive to an urgent destination. He enjoyed being active and spending time outdoors, riding his mountain bike and skiing during the winter. Tim loved traveling, especially trips to Ireland and touring through Colorado with his brothers in the VW Bus.

In addition to his parents, James and Carole, Tim is survived by two brothers, Sean O’Brien (Maria), Brookfield, OH, and Brendan O’Brien, Denver, CO; three nieces, Gillian O’Brien, Cincinnati, OH, Delaney O’Brien, Denver, CO, and Paige Martin (Caleb), Brookfield, OH; numerous cousins; and many dear friends, including his close companion, Chrystal Carpec.
