Paul David O’Malley, of West Roxbury, passed away peacefully on June 27, 2025, at the age of 57, surrounded by and in the thoughts and prayers of loving family and friends after a courageous two-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

Paul enjoyed traveling, spending summers on Cape Cod, and fishing on the “American Pride” with his lifelong friends. He was an active member of the West Roxbury Knights of Columbus and was loved by many in the West Roxbury and Roslindale Community. Paul was a diehard Boston sports fan, and a season ticket holder for the New England Patriots.
