James Stewart OBrion

James Stewart "Jim" OBrion, aged 85, passed away peacefully on October 10, 2026, in Barnstable, MA. Born on February 4, 1941, in Quincy, MA, to his loving parents, he led a life of dedication, hard work, and integrity.

A reserved, hardworking, honest, and dependable man, Jim was known for his unwavering commitment to his family, friends, and work. He was a steadfast figure in the lives of those who knew him, always providing a reliable presence.

Jim was a proud alumnus of Quincy High School, where he honed his dedication and commitment that would later serve him in his professional life. He built an impressive career in the steel industry, starting at Carlson Metal Craft before moving on to Union Steel Erectors Corporation. As a dedicated General Manager, he oversaw operations and shaped the work environment with his strong leadership.

In addition to his significant contributions to the steel industry, Jim also ran a successful business on Cape Cod for over 20 years. His entrepreneurial spirit was evident in his running of the White Hen Pantry, where he served his local community not only as a businessman, but also through generous donations.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents Louis and Dorothy OBrion whose memories he cherished. He is survived by his daughter Deborah Ann OBrion, son Sean OBrion (Michaelle OBrion), his grandchildren Jonathan “Tyler” Lynch, Sean Jr, Emily and Liam OBrion and his sister Janet White, all of whom meant a great deal to him. His legacy will undoubtedly live on through them.

A life so deeply lived deserves to be beautifully remembered. Services to honor Jim's life will be held on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at Doane Beal & Ames, 160 West Main St, Hyannis from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

While we mourn the loss of a beloved figure in our lives, let us also celebrate his life and the many ways he touched our hearts. We invite all who knew Jim to join us in remembering a remarkably dedicated individual and sharing the precious memories he left behind.
