Obituary for Douglas Andrew O'Brien

Douglas “Doug” O’Brien, a beloved father, husband, and friend, unexpectedly passed away at his home in Winter Springs, Florida on February 2, 2025.


Doug was born on September 30, 1958, to Roland and Theresa (Hoaglund) Gonsalves in Salem, Connecticut. He graduated from East Lyme High School in 1976. In 1990, Doug moved to Florida to start a new chapter with then wife, Amy, and stepson Brady O’Brien Holmgren, and welcomed their children Austin, Curtis, and Casey O’Brien.


With a love for the outdoors, Doug owned and operated two businesses in Florida, Green With Envy and Oviedo Gardens Nursery. In 2008, Doug began his career with the commercial landscape company Brickman, now Brightview. Continuing his adventurous life filled with laughter, good music, and travel, Doug married Glomarie Echevarria-Turner on November 9, 2024, in New Smyrna Beach, FL.


Fondly known for his humor, pranks, contagious laughter, and commitment to landing the biggest fish, Doug's memory continues through his family and friends. He crafted a life rich in laughter, love, and delightfully questionable dance moves, always making sure everyone enjoyed themselves. His life stands as a motivating reminder to cherish every moment with joy and a light-hearted spirit.


With his passing, Doug leaves behind his wife, Glomarie; his three children Austin, Curtis and Casey; and his two sisters, Jennifer Petrizzi and Dana Tyler. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Roland Gonsalves.


A celebration of life is being planned where we will share stories and laughter. We ask that all questions and desires to attend be directed to his daughter, Casey, at casey.e.obrien@gmail.com, Please feel free to include any photos or videos in your email which you may have of Doug. Casey will coordinate with the family and once a celebration is planned, details will be shared.
