Robert O'Reilly Obituary Robert David OReilly (Bob), age 68, resident of Brainerd, died on February 3, 2025, at his home. Bob was born on June 20, 1956, in Brainerd, MN to Raymond Vernon and Juanita Rita (Jewell) OReilly.
Bob enjoyed annual fishing trips up north with the guys, good times at the lakes with Jan & special friends, Vicki & Jeff, and just spending time with friends and family who all enjoyed his great sense of humor. Bobs famous line was "one more and I gotta go!" Yep. He was always up for one more beer. But, with that, he wanted one more minute of time with you, sharing stories, laughter, fellowship, and love. This time you really did go, Bob, and we find ourselves wanting, "JUST ONE MORE!" We love you. We miss you.
