Ryan O’Callaghan of Southampton died on March 30, 2018. He was 44.
Born in Port Jefferson on December 15, 1973, Mr. O’Callaghan loved nothing more than spending his days paddling out on his surfboard in search of that perfect wave, snowboarding on fresh powder, skateboarding, or hitting the links. He graduated from Southampton High School and Ithaca College. From there he moved to different parts of the country and met many wonderful friends, but always gravitated back to his hometown of Southampton.
Survivors said that he had a fierce love for his family. His son, Taylor, was born in 1997 and from that moment he was Ryan’s guiding force and greatest source of pride.
In addition to his son, Mr. O’Callaghan is survived by his wife, Andrea Pizzanelli O’Callaghan; his parents, Marcella and Leo “Bud” O’Callaghan; sisters, Christine O’Callaghan Hopkinson and Erin O’Callaghan; and brothers- and sisters-in-law, Bryan Grossbauer, John Hopkinson, Lara Pizzanelli, Michael Pizzanelli, Robin Pizzanelli, and Kathy Bruton-Wink; aunts, uncles, cousins, five nieces, and six nephews.
Visitation took place at Brockett Funeral Home on Sunday, April 8, with a funeral Mass at The Basilica Parish of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Church on Monday, April 9.
Memorial donations may be made to the Surfrider Foundation.
