Dennis Neil Obituary

Dennis Neil, 21, of Carver, passed away September 27, 2014, in a tragic car accident. He leaves behind his family that loved him so much. His parents, Dennis and Rachel Neil; his three sisters, Amanda, Krystal and Brittany Neil of Carver; his beautiful baby boy, Dillon Cadogan; longtime friend and his son's mother, Kayla Cadogan of Plymouth; grandparents, Dennis and Barbara Neil of Carver, Donald Brine from Rockland and Donna Nichols of Plymouth. He was nephew to Becky Mahoney of Carver, Jason, Paul Neil, Chris Mahoney of Carver and Donald Brine from down the Cape; cousin to Kailey Neil of Carver, Emma and Marlee Mahoney of Carver; and also survived by his best friend, Scott Pardo of Carver. Dennis could walk into any room and light up everyone's day just by that smirk on his face. Dennis's favorite saying was always "only the good die young", and he was right. He loved spending his spare time with his son, fishing with the boys, being with family, and of course going mudding in his Tahoe. Dennis will be missed by many, and will never be forgotten. Memorial visiting hours will be held Wednesday, October 8, from 12-4 p.m. at the Shepherd Funeral Home, 116 Main St. (Rte. 58), Carver. A reception will follow at the Carver Sportsman Club. In lieu of flowers, an account has been set up to benefit his son Dillon, donations may be made to Mutual Federal Bank, 74 Main St., Carver.

its not what I would like to say about Dennis, it is what I would like to say to him.."my grandson you were and always will be the love of my life. I have to stop myself when thinking of you because I cry every time. I know you are in heaven and looking down on all of us. Your son is growing and just entered kindergarten handsome and looks like your twin. Your sister Amanda is a mom now and a great mom at that. Her little boy Zachary is adorable it is so sad he never got to meet you. Your other sisters are beautiful too and doing well. Krystal goes to Cardinal Cushing now for the over 22 program and loves it...I take her as much as I can. She is a joy ! Brittany has worked very had to improve her life . She finished high school and enrolled at Massasoit.
