John Bowlby Obituary
John was born on July 22, 1969, in Pittsfield, MA, to Lenore Horrigan and Craig Bowlby, both deceased, and is survived by his wife Selene, daughter Jaidyn, and brothers Jim and Mark. He was predeceased by his brother T.J. in 2025.
John attained an Associate's degree in Fine Arts from Berkshire Community College in 1991 and enjoyed drawing, listening to music, collecting comics, doing puzzles, birdwatching, and rooting for the Bruins and Steelers. He could make people laugh in any situation with his wicked sense of humor.
A service will be held in Pittsfield in the spring. Details to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to http://support.pancan.org/goto/johnbowlby
