Emmet O'Callaghan

Emmet S. O’Callaghan, (Weymouth), age 29, dearly loved son of Colm and Gerardine “Ellen” O’Callaghan (nee Linehan) passed unexpectedly on March 2, 2026.

Emmet attended St. Francis Xavier School in S. Weymouth and graduated from Boston College High School, class of 2015, where he was a gifted soccer player, a striker with an eye for the top corner. He was also a very talented musician, using his acoustic guitar to write music and play with friends and family. Emmet was a loving brother and a loyal friend to many.

After graduating from Boston College High School, Emmet attended Saint Anselm College, where he continued to exemplify his athleticism as a member of the college’s soccer team.

Emmet was a gentle soul who found great joy in bringing happiness to others and was known for turning up with thoughtful and funny gifts at gatherings. Emmet was proud of his Irish heritage and cherished the opportunity to visit Ireland nearly every year as a child to spend time with family and strengthen his connection to his Irish roots.

Emmet is survived by his parents Colm and Gerardine (Ellen) of Weymouth, his brother Ronan and his wife Lauren of Pembroke, and his brother Colm Jr. of Weymouth. Emmet was the nephew of Liam, Finbarr, John, Tadgh, Tomás, Annmarie, Helen, Michael, Catherine, Mary, and the late Ann. Emmet was especially fond of his nephew Rory. Emmet's memory will also live on in his countless friends and cousins. Emmet was also very close with family friends, the Moriartys, Seamus, Denise, Kate, Shane, and Brian.
