尤金·奥凯利，在纽约市出生和长大。1972年进入毕马威，担任助理会计师，经过30多年的努力，于2002年4月成为毕马威公司的首席执行官，并一直担任该职到2005年6月确诊前，后来保留了公司的资深合伙人一职。他于2005年9月10日辞世。

当 时，尤金•奥凯利(Eugene O’Kelly)正处在巅峰时期。他时年53岁，担任着美国毕马威会计师事务所(KPMG)的董事长兼首席执行官，工作勤恳，家庭幸福，社交繁忙，并为今后惬意的退休生活拟定了计划。 去年5月，他到神经科医师那里进行了一次体检，检查轻微面瘫的病因。他猜想，病因可能是贝尔氏麻痹(Bell's palsy)，或者是与压力有关的其它疾病所致。但脑部扫描结果表明，他患有晚期脑癌，仅余下3个月生命。 正如奥凯利在讲述自己生命最后时光的自传《追逐日光》* (Chasing Daylight)中所描写的那样，他将这条消息视为一件幸事。他要利用这100天的日子，为生命划下完美的句号：向同事、朋友和家人道别；为妻儿计划将来。奥凯利是一位不折不扣的会计师，他希望在掩上生命的书卷之后，所有事情都井井有条。
