JOHN LOBKOWICZ Obituary

LOBKOWICZ, John Brooks Died peacefully after many years of health challenges at his home in Prague, Czech Republic, at the age of sixty. Mr. Lobkowicz attended Milton Academy, and graduated from Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts and Wesleyan University, class of 1981. He began his career in advertising in New York City. In the mid 1990's, he moved to Prague, working in advertising and branding. He later founded a magazine featuring politics, health, travel and the arts in the Czech Republic and Europe. He is remembered for his sharp intellect, marketing and writing abilities, sense of humor, and especially his love of poetry and literature. Mr. Lobkowicz leaves his wife Irena and step daughter Dominika of the Czech Republic. He was the son of the late Martin G. Lobkowicz of Dover, Massachusetts. He leaves his mother, Brooks, brothers Martin M and William, his sister Margaret, and five nieces and nephews. A private memorial will be held in Prague at a later date.

Dear All,
John was a good friend. He cared. He helped me when I needed help. He always gave me his precious time.
I had the pleasure of working with John when he was the publisher of the lifestyle magazine. He used to roar back then when things weren't going the way he expected. At times he would even roar at me. But I could see in his eyes he didn't mean to cause me harm.
I admired his bravery, and his wealth of knowledge. I could talk to him about anything and he would either know something about it that I had never considered, or he would probe me with many questions till he had some understanding of the subject he knew nothing about. Like when the last time I saw John in mid-June 2017 and I was trying to explain what a Blockchain is and what is cryptocurrency. He had the curiosity of a young man that made the conversation more engaging.
He was like a lion alright! He loved his wife Irena, Dominika and his dog.
I feel a part of my life gone now that you are gone.

Dear Lobkowicz Family,

Please accept my deep condolences for your great loss. Though I really didn't know John, he was a friend of my older brother Alfred. However, I do remember him vociferously engaging in an acorn war against his brother William and me, while we were stationed in the Lobkowicz family treehouse. I also remember John taking particular delight in Halloween shenanigans on the streets of Milton. Shaving cream and Cherry Bombs were involved...if memory serves.

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
