Darrell O’Pray
1944-2022
Darrell Frederick O’Pray, age 77, passed away
peacefully on Saturday, May 7, 2022 in Riverview, NB following many
years of battling through severe heart issues. Born in Truro, NS he
was the son of the late Frederick and Helen (Connolly)
O’Pray. Despite this, he continued to fight to the end with
never a complaint to be heard. Darrell was a graphic artist at heart
which could be seen on the Town of Riverview’s RHS Royals
Zamboni as well as his impeccable handwriting that he loved showing
off. In his early years he was a world-class candlepin bowling and an
avid tennis player. After a few different career stops he found his
true calling as an addictions counsellor at the Dorchester
penitentiary, a vocation he truly loved. He attended the Immaculate
Heart of Mary Catholic Church. Above all else he was kind to everyone.
Besides his parents, Darrell is predeceased by his wife Bernadette and
brother David. He is survived by his children Michael (Adrienne),
Aundrea, Ian, grandchildren Harrison, Sophie, Stella, Zoe as well as a
sister Carol.
His family will be receiving friends and relatives on
Thursday, May 12, 2022 from 6 – 8 pm at Cobb’s
Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview
(869-2007). A service celebrating Darrell’s life will take
place from the funeral home on Friday, May 13th
at 11 AM with Father Charles Broderick officiating..
Face Masks are encouraged for both
events. A special thank you to Dr. Dan
Landry, Dr. Ron Bourgeois, staff of The Moncton Hospital Heart Clinic
and the staff of Monarch Hall for their care and support for Darrell.
Donations made to Pro Kids or the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be
appreciated by his family.
