John Joseph O'Brien

June 26, 1937 — December 4, 2016

John is survived by his first wife of 53 years, Judith O'Brien, children: Erin, Christopher (Shelley), Karen, (Dan); Bumpo' to Hayden, Connor, Ian, and Kayla (Armando), and many beloved in-laws, nieces, and nephews whom he loved dearly. John was the son of Bridget and John, stepson to Mr. Fred who raised him along side Bridget. John was the youngest of ten and has now joined his entire family. He was an Irishman through and through! He loved telling and retelling stories, pulling practical jokes, but loved his family most of all. He truly was the biggest leprechaun ever!
A celebration of his life will be held December 19, 11:00 at St. John's Lutheran Church, 4500 Buena Vista Rd., Bakersfield, CA. In lieu of flowers and for his love of the game, donations in John's memory can be made to Kern River's JS Golf Junior Coaching Program, c/o Jacque Servadio, 252 Jefferson St., Bakersfield, CA 93305-3534, and/or for the love of his grandchildren, St. John's Lutheran School, 4500 Buena Vista Rd., Bakersfield, CA 93311-9702.
