The Mountie shot and killed in Coquitlam, B.C., last week was remembered over the weekend as ‘one heck of a member and one heck of a person’
A decorated member of the RCMP, Constable O’Brien achieved his dream of becoming a police officer later in life with the support of his family after going through bouts of depression and homelessness.
But he pulled himself together, built stronger relationships with his kids, and met his future wife, Nicole Longacre – who had three children of her own.At the time, he was working six days a week as an education assistant and after-school support worker in Chilliwack and Surrey. He started to feel the itch again to find a more fulfilling and better-paid career.
“He was cracking jokes and chatting with every neighbour on the street,” Ms. Drummond wrote. “He was very funny and kind.”
