Brian Joseph O'Shaughnessy

Brian Joseph O’Shaughnessy, 68 of Presque Isle, WI formerly of Chicago, IL passed away peacefully on February 19, 2017. Devoted son of the late Frank and late Anne Marie O’Shaughnessy, cherished brother of Susan (Bob Gerber) O’Shaughnessy, Annemarie T. O’Shaughnessy and Joan O’Shaughnessy, fond uncle of Stephen (Lauren McDonnell) Gerber, Dean (Allison) Eberhardt, Brian Gerber and Elizabeth Gerber, loving great uncle of Daniel and Cole Eberhardt, cousin to many in his “O’Shaughnessy Clan.”

Before he retired to Presque Isle, Brian spent most of his life in Wilmette and Chicago, IL. He was a graduate of the University of Norte Dame. His life took him along many career paths: former high school teacher, education liaison at the Chicago Tribune, co-owner of “O’Shaughnessy’s Take Five” tavern in Chicago, limo driver, real state agent, multiple roles for many years at Campus Painters. Brian had three great loves in his life- nature, music and travel. He immersed himself in these 3 passions and they gave him his great zest for life. As it was Brian’s wish , services were held with the immediate family.

A private memorial will be held in Presque Isle, WI at a future date.
