Derek Hance O'Brien Obituary
We are sad to announce that on August 25, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Derek Hance O'Brien of Portland, Maine. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his pet Kiwi; his parents, Steven O'Brien and Kathleen O'Brien (McCormick) of Warren, ME; his grandfather John McCormick; his siblings, Nicole O'Brien Blake (Neal) of Rockport, ME and Shane O'Brien (Heather) of Hermon, ME; his friends, Liz, Matty and Gaby; his brother Dustin (McKenzie) of Shrewsbury, MA; his siblings' children, Addie, Ella, Kingsley and Jack; his caregiver Margarita; his friends, Shannon, Jess and Bernie; his grandparents, Dorothy McCormick, Robert and Sharon O'Brien; and his sister Tara O'Brien. He was also cherished by many aunts and uncles; 20 cousins that were like siblings.
In lieu of flowers, we ask you to consider donating in Derek's memory to EmpowerSCI and continue to help those with spinal cord injuries live life to the fullest, as Derek always did.
