Const. Rick O’Brien loved to laugh. He loved his job, he loved being an RCMP officer, he loved making jokes and he loved his wife and family above all.

O’Brien was laid to rest Wednesday in a ceremony at the Langley Events Centre after he was shot and killed in the line of duty on Sept. 22 in Coquitlam.

Speaking on behalf of O’Brien’s wife, Nicole, Stephanie Porter said the couple was set to take a trip soon, just the two of them.

“And instead, I’m sending you off to a different paradise,” Porter said. “How am I going to live without you?

“My favourite thing was loving you and how you loved me back. I loved loving you and I love our story.” The couple had six children between them.

O’Brien had wanted to become an RCMP officer to help kids and educate them that police officers are there to help and protect them.
