James Brian O'Connor's Obituary
James Brian O’Connor, better know as “Jimmy,” died on Sunday, December 5, 2021. He was born on July 19, 1975, in Holyoke, Massachusetts to his late father, Jim O’Connor and mother, Teresa O’Connor.
Jimmy was a prominent divorce lawyer in Lexington, South Carolina. He loved spending time with his girls, traveling, and collecting art. He was a history enthusiast and a true patriot. Jimmy’s charismatic personality left an impact on everyone he met. He could easily walk in a room and fill it with humorous storytelling, or intelligent and stimulating conversation. He was an adventurous guy from the time he was young, and carried that over with every moment he spent with his loves, his beautiful 3 girls. At many stages of his life he was faced with adversity, but he met each challenge with courage, enthusiasm, and perseverance. His ambition and ability were remarkable.
In addition to his mother, Jimmy is survived by his children, Emma Hadley O’Connor, Abigail Ryan O’Connor, and Isla Shay O’Connor; Brothers, Joseph O’Connor and Robert O’Connor (Alayna); and sisters, Carrie Watters (Kevin) and Deena Lashway (Larry).
