John W. O'Brien

I am so deeply saddened to have just found out that my friend John, "OBEE" has died.I had no idea at all. I had missed him so much over the years.Bless you Pat and your family. William Davies 847-562-6938 [email protected]

I wish to offer my deepest condolences to the O'Brien family. I met Johnny as a client amidst the challenges RJO encountered after the financial crisis. Johnny was one of the finest people I have ever known. A man of his word, a man who loved his family deeply, a man who wanted to do the right thing and a man of deep faith. The world made brighter with him in it and we who have known him were blessed. May the Lord bless him and keep him. Bill Derrough

Dear O´Brien Family, please accept our sincere sympathy on the death of your dear husband, father grandfather brother and uncle. Johnny was a good man and we prayed for him daily. Count on our continued prayers for all of you at this difficult time. Love Christine and Mark Kengott

Pat and family, I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. There are no words for such a loss. He truly was a strong determined man who loved his family. I pray God brings peace to you and your family during this time.

Johnny, You brought a lot of Joy into this world. To say you were a great friend to our family only begins to describe it. See you on the other side.

Mr. O'Brien was such a key player in the early days of Word on Fire-- his generosity made the ministry's work possible. I am forever grateful to him and to the O'Brien family, and I am so very sorry for your loss. What a wonderful man. My family and I will be praying for all of you. God be with you all and carry you through this tremendously difficult time.

I am so lucky that my dad met his best friend, Big Johnny, as a young kid. He was the funniest and most caring friend anyone could ever ask for and I loved him. Being a part of his 50th birthday celebration in Ireland was one of the greatest times of my life filled with songs and laughs. I'm praying for all of you Pat, LJ, Teri, Tim, and Carmel. Love you guys. Love, Jimbo Jr. (as Big Johnny called me)

John and I were good friends while attending St. Norbert College. He had a magnetic personality and was one of the funniest people I have ever known. Kindly accept my heartfelt sympathy and know that you are all in my prayers.
