Timothy O'Reilly passed away on December 12, 2025 at the age of 35. He is predeceased by his father, William J. O'Reilly Jr. He is survived by his loving wife, Claire O'Reilly; his mother, Deborah O'Reilly; brother, Brian O'Reilly (Jaime Schaefer); niece and nephew, Ava and Jackson O'Reilly; and his favorite four-legged besties, DJ and Milo.

Tim spent 10+ years working on cruise ships, which fueled his passion for travel. He visited more than 20 countries and had plans to visit many more! The two activities merged when Tim reconnected with a former crewmate during one of his travel adventures, leading to his marriage to Claire Pearce O'Reilly, his perfect match. Tim's time spent as a cruise ship DJ fostered his love of music in all forms. He frequently traveled to Buffalo, Toronto, and beyond to attend concerts and music festivals.  Tim had come to truly enjoy camping - preferably in its rustic form, and would often include his four-legged friend, DJ, on his camping adventures. 

After leaving cruise life, Tim returned home and began working for his brother, Brian, at his Fairport restaurant, Great American Diner. Tim worked there in several capacities as well as handling the business's social media, which he truly loved doing!

Tim's approach to life has always been easy going and positive. He is so loved and will be so deeply missed by everyone who has known him.
