John O'Donoghue

Comhbhrón ó chroí lé clann John. I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I got to know John sitting on the bench outside Lilliput Stores in the Batter, he'd be having his fag and coffee and the chats with everybody passing by. I was amazed that he seemed to know everybody by name. He was such a lovely, warm, generous person and I really enjoyed meeting him for coffee or a pint in Walshes. We became good friends over the years and I loved meeting him. He was always so interested in people and I missed him when I moved from the Batter. John called me in July from the hospice, now I know he was calling to say goodbye. Fear uasal, go raibh suaimhneas síoraí agat a John.
Lé grá agus mór mheas, Marie

Anambhriste agus croíscriosta Clann Uí Dhonnchadha na laethanta seo. Léiríonn na línte measa agus molta thuas , uathu siúd a raibh aithne acu ar bhur deartháir John gur fathach fir ab ea an caractar seo. Méadaíonn a fheabhas mar dhuine , méala mór a bháis dár ndóigh ach maireann na cuimhní cinn go deo mar thaca.
Mo chomhbhrón ó chroí do
Dhairíne Ghleoite , Áine na hÁille, do Mhairéad , Maria , Chlíodhna agus Donncha.

My heartfelt condolences to all of John's family. He was both a talented and dedicated actor and a gentleman. John was a brilliant leading man in the Chekhov plays 'The Bear' and 'The Proposal', which we put on in Rathfarnham Castle in 2016. I will miss his winning smile, charm and wit. Rest in peace John. I'll never forget you, your support and your sense of the possible.

My deepest sympathies to all of John's Family and friends.I am devastated and deeply sadened to hear of John's passing. I had the privilege of working with John in Chekov's 'The Bear'. I was still training with the Stanislavski Studio and John treated me like an equal. John was a very kind, gentle person with an infectious laugh and a great sense of humour. John had the wonderful gift of making you feel he knew you for years. I am privleged to have met you John. Many thanks for your kindness, May you Rest in Peace. ~ Eamonn

All the best John & thanks for your friendship and kindness in Stoneybatter over the years ...

I had the privilege of sharing my first acting class and first time stepping onto the stage at the Focus Theatre Saturday studio with John. We shared special times and had the pleasure of working together both on stage and in film. John was magnetic, charismatic, generous, deep, a thoughtful human being with a wicked sense of humour, who loved people, the simple things in life and who always kept it real. I treasure the life experiences I got to share with him. John was proof that life is no dress rehearsal.

My heart is broken, especially for Áine and the entire family. To everyone who loved and adored Johno I extend my deepest sympathies to all.

Go raibh maith agat J. Rest in Peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Lovely happy memories of cousin John especially when we were young kids, playing together during summer holiday breaks in Athlone and Howth.

Maria Cliodhna Donncha Dairine Aine and Mairead you are in our thoughts. Rest in Peace John

My deepest condolences to all the O’Donoghues and all John’s connections. Sorry never got to know John in his adult days but from all the tributes sounds like a chip of the O’Donoghue block - warm, wise, big-hearted, talented and humorous.

Just want to pass on my sincere sympathies to John's partner and the O'Donoghue family on Johno's passing - very hard to believe that someone so full of life has been taken so soon. Our respective parents were great friends for a life-time and he has been re-united with them now.

May he rest in peace.
