COLUMBUS--Richard "Dick" O'Brion age 80 of Columbus, WI was called home by the Lord. He peacefully passed away on Tuesday, January 12, 2021. Dick was born to Lester and Fanny (Janzovnik) O'Brion of Fall River, WI. He was a Fall River High School graduate. Dick worked for many years doing industrial maintenance. Dick was a loving father and grandfather to his five children and eight grandchildren.  To his children, Dick was a confidant, supporter, encourager, but most of all, comic relief. To his grandchildren, Dick was a source of candy, cookies and tall tales. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and relished in their mischievous deeds, considering them payback.  Dick was well-liked, kind, loving and compassionate. He loved to laugh, tease, play cards and enjoy life.

A special thank you to Dr. Rolf, Dr. Sam Poser, and the Poser Clinic nurses and staff for the special care, compassion, and treatment provided to Dick over the years. The family would also like to thank the nursing staff at Prairie Ridge Hospital in Columbus for their care and compassionate support.

A Richard O'Brion Memorial Fund has been created at the Farmer's and Merchant's Union Bank in Columbus. The fund is to create a garden space in Rich's memory for the senior residents of the Santa Maria Apartments in Columbus, WI.

A celebration of life gathering and luncheon will be held at 11:00 A.M to 2:00 P.M. on Thursday, July 15, 2021 at Savanna Oaks, Fall River. Inurnment will be in the Fountain Prairie Cemetery, Fall River. We encourage you to please share your online condolences with Dick's family at jensenfuneralandcremation.com
