John (Johnny) O'Brien

To all the family sincere sympathy on the sad passing of Johnny.
I only heard today of his passing & was so shocked.
Apologies for not making the funeral. Mind yourselves x

Hi Deirdre and all the family, I'm so sorry to hear that Johnny passed. He was such a lovely, kind, funny guy. He put me, louise and a friend up in his place in Nuremburg and was so welcoming and great to be around. May he rest in peace 🙏

Our deepest sympathies.
We just heard today., may John rest in peace.
Emily and family.

My sincere sympathy to Breda, Catherine, Mark, Dee and all of John's family and friends near and far. His passing brings back fond memories of a carefree childhood in Woodlands Drive. He was a lovable divil and it seems that his character remained true, through his adult life. Ar dheis Dè go raibh a anam.

So sad about Johnny's passing. Condolences to his family. He was such a kind soul, I have many happy memories with him in Nuernberg. May he rest in peace

Dear O’Brien Family,
Sending you all my deepest condolences. Johnny was a legend. I worked for him in O'Sheas many moons ago. Johnny was so warm, funny and kind. I still have so many fond memories of him from almost 30 years ago; he had such a big, Dublin humour, presence. You'll be in my thoughts. Rest in peace Johnny.

I'm so sorry to hear about John. It's so sad. He's way too young. I havent seen him in many years but I remember him from school as big as life personality, full of fun. Sending love and hugs to you all at this time.

Dear Breda and family, so very sorry to hear of John's passing. May he rest in peace.

I am so saddened to hear of Johnny’s passing. I was hoping to meet him on visiting my hometown Nurnberg on the 27th. We worked together in the Irish Rover in Dambach prior to his ownership of O’Shea’s. We had such unforgettable fun times.
May his beautiful soul rest in peace.

I am so saddened to learn of Johnny's sudden passing. Sending my love and sincere condolences to Breda, Catherine, Deirdre, Mark and all the O'Brien family. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace Johnny.

So sorry to hear of John’s death. Sending my sincere sympathy to Breda and family. R.I.P.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the O'Brien family on the loss of your dear son, brother and uncle. Johnny always brought a bit of home back to me. As soon as I heard his Dublin accent it was like having a bit of home in Nuremberg.
Go raibh maith agat, Johnny.
May you Rest in Peace.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Johnny. He always went out of his way to look after anyone he came across and has helped many an Irish lad new to Germany over the years. He was a kind soul, a gentleman and will be sorely missed.

I remember Johnny from school, and also met him a few times in The Horse and Hound. I remember him being a really nice friendly guy and he was very popular. R.I.P. Johnny and my condolences to Mark and all the family

Really sad to hear this, amazing memories with Johnny in Germany. Thoughts are with Mark and all the O’Bs, Johnny was an absolute legend ❤️

It’s never easy to loose a loved one Catherine, Rudy and family. May Johnny rest in peace

RIP John. Condolences to the family.

Sincere condolences to Mark and all of the O’Brien family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Johnny. May he rest in peace.

Dear O’Brien Family,

Sending you all my deepest condolences.

Johnny was one a kind with a huge heart, caring, compassionate and courageous.

Johnny and I would often catch up over a few drinks when he had a free evening off. We would walk around the old city of Nuremberg and he was known by so many!
People would always stop and say hello and he would take the time and talk to everyone he met, that was Johnny.

We always had great fun on our nights out and he always looked out for me. I have so many wonderful and funny memories of him.

He had a brilliant sense of humour and touched all of our lives, he will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

'How is it going'...das sagte er immer, .....all die Jahrzehnte...R.i.P

Whenever we will visit Finnigangs, you will be with us. We first met you 1985 in the old Finnigans. It was a great time. RiP Johnny

Many years ago my husband Ben and I spent a weekend with Johnny in Nürnberg. I've had a wonderful time; the warmth, the welcome, the fun. I often think of Johnny out of the blue.
We will raise a glass to him often, remembering the great man he was.
Rest easy, Johnny, you were one of the very best.
With love and deepest sympathy.

Sincere condolences to all of the O‘Brien family on the passing of Johnny.

I have such fun memories of our time working together over 30 years ago in Finnegans, later in O‘Sheas and whenever we bumped into each other in Nürnberg. To see his roguish smile, hear him ask in his Dublin accent „How‘re ya?“ and his genuine interest in my answer, always brought a smile to my face and a bit of home to Nürnberg. We used to always joke about being the two O‘Briens in Nürnberg.

Will miss you Johnny! Rest now in peace. xx

RIP JOHNNY..l remember working for him on his 2 apartments knocked into one big one in Nuremberg and driving and helping him in the metro on a Thursday for the pubs shopping as he was in bits after another wee after work party!!He would open his door and feed and water anyone that he liked and put you up in his spare room when visiting!!He was a gentleman and he will be sorely missed by a helluva lot of people!😭

I was very sorry to hear the very sad news of Johnny's untimely passing. We had many good times together in Germany. My sincerest condolences to the O'Brien family and to all his many friends.
May his gentle soul rest in peace. 🙏

Sincere Condolences from myself and Mary in Sydney to Auntie Breda, Catherine, Marko, Dee and all the O'Brien family on Cousin Johnny's passing. He was a wonderful character and clearly loved by many people, so will be sadly missed. R.I.P Choc

Good bye my friend, sincere condolences to your family.

RiP Johnnie .

Rest in peace, Johnny. A wonderful friend to my husband Ger Wheeler and a constant presence during your time together in Nuremberg and in the years after Ger moved home. You were always so warm and welcoming when we visited you and we always had a good time in your company.
You will be fondly remembered. Sincere condolences to all who loved you.

We would like to offer our sincere condolences to Catherine and Rudi and the extended O Brien family on the sad passing of Johnny , a kind and caring guy with a heart of gold , RIP Johnny

Deepest condolences to the O’Brien family. John and Mark were great school buddies and we spent lots of time as young kids roaming the neighbourhood. We spent lots of time in John‘s house because we had no TV so it was always off to the O’Brien‘s house to watch Starsky and Hutch and if we were lucky a little bit of Kenny Everest before Mrs O’Brien would come in and tell us to turn that trash off upon reflection. I think that was a good choice anyway John was a top look I don’t think you’d ever meet a kinder guy. He looked after us when we were in Germany.

Johnny was the kindest soul around Nuremberg, always a friendly face and a big smile to make you feel at home. My heart breaks for Johnny’s family at this time. Thinking of you all and sending strength.

Rest in peace Johnny.

Our sincere condolences to Catherine Rudi and all the O Brien family on Johnnys passing,
thinking of you all at this very sad time may he RIP

Sincere sympathies to Breda, Dee, Mark and Catherine on the passing of Johnny, a legend and one of the good ones - a huge loss. Really enjoyed Johnny’s company, always guaranteed banter and laughs. He was a great pal to my late Dad, Jack. Hope they are somewhere backing winners now. Rest easy Johnny.

Rest in peace John.
My deepest condolences to the family

My deepest condolences to all of Choc's family on his untimely passing. Will always remember him singing 'Twice daily' in class many a time in CCS. Rest in peace John.

I would meet Johnny around Johnstown and always have a chat. He was always so nice to my daughter and include her in the conversation. A very nice fella. Condolences to all his family. RIP.

So sad to hear of Johnny's passing. May he rest in peace.
God bless you all xx Frankie

Goodbye Johny, may you rest in peace.

There are countless memories of nights out in Nuremberg and Cambridge - you are a true legend and influenced so many lives. You certainly left a mark on mine. Thank you for your humour, warmth and generosity. I will never forget you.

You'll be in all our hearts forever and we'll see you again in heaven my brother. My sincerest deepest condolences to his family. Your Johnny will never be forgotten.

My deepest sympathy to the O’Brien family. I wish you all peace and strength during this difficult time.
Johnny was a kind soul and will remain in our hearts forever.

Johnny,

You and the lads created an Irish embassy of your own in Nuremberg. You gave a space and a friendly face to many an expat on their travels or more a home. Nothing better than you pulling up a stool or a chair in Finnegans or o’Shea’s and talking shite with us.

It’s a sad day knowing we won’t get that opportunity again.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam and Up the Dubs!

RIP Johnny

Johnny was the first fellow Irishman I met in Nuremberg. Rain or shine he was great craic & always loved chatting about home. He will be sorely missed! My condolences to all his family.

Deepest Sympathy to the family. A warm, friendly, good person Johnny was. Know and liked by all.
