Brendan Cronin Obituary
Brendan was born in Weymouth and was a proud graduate of Hanover High School, Class of 1996, and went on to earn his degree from Westfield State University, Class of 2000. A natural athlete and competitor, Brendan played football at both schools where he built lasting friendships and carried his love of the game throughout his life.
Brendan was a devoted husband, father, and proud business owner. He and his beloved wife, Kerry, shared over 20 years together, building a life full of love, laughter, and family.
Above all else, Brendan's greatest joy and accomplishment in life was being a dad. He was endlessly proud of his sons, Connor and Matthew, and lit up when talking about them. Whether traveling together, cheering them on in their pursuits, or simply spending time side-by-side together, Brendan treasured every moment with his boys.
As the owner of ForeverLawn Massachusetts, Brendan built more than a company-he built a community, cherishing the friendships he formed with both colleagues and employees.
Brendan especially treasured the peace and quiet of family time spent up north in the mountains. Known for his unmatched wit and sense of humor, he had a gift for making those around him laugh. A lifelong fan of Boston sports, Brendan took great joy in cheering on his teams, particularly the New England Patriots on a Sunday.
Brendan leaves behind his wife, Kerry (Giolito); his sons, Connor and Matthew; his mother, Constance (Anderson) Cronin; his mother-in-law, Linda (Loffredo) Giolito of Duxbury; his brothers, James Cronin Jr., of Hanson, Kevin Cronin and his wife, Taryn, of Hanover, along with his niece, nephews, and extended family. He was predeceased by his father, James E. Cronin, Sr., father-in-law, Carl J. Giolito and cousin Brian M. Cronin.
A funeral mass will be celebrated on Monday, September 29, 2025 at 10:00AM at Our Lady of the Angels, 392 Hanover Street in Hanover.

So very sorry to hear of the loss of Brendan. He was a good man and I worked closely with him to develop his K9Grass business. Please let me know how I can assist as you move forward.

Dear Kerry, Connie, Kevin, Jimmy, Linda, Matthew, & Connor & others,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Why it was Brendon´s time so young is beyond understanding on this side. What God´s purpose is in this only time will tell. Know that you´re all in my prayers. I also lost my Dad on September 15th, 19 years ago. I still think about him all the time (even though he was much older.) Kerry, LMK through Connie if you need help with anything. I´ve been a widow for 7 years now too. Matthew & Connor, I´m looking forward to seeing you both again. Your Grandma Connie has shared photos through the years. KNOW that you are both miracles. MANY people prayed for you both. God has a plan for both of your lives. I was a nurse @ the Brigham when you were born who worked in obstetrics. I made many visits to the NICU. A co-worker kept telling me there was "no way" you could survive...LOL My Bible verse for this week is: "With God, nothing is impossible." -Luke 1:37.
It´s okay to grieve as long as you need. You do NOT need to be the"men of the house..." not for a long time. ALWAYS live to make your Dad proud of you!!! This live is hard, filled with losses, & God doesn´t always answer our prayers the way we want, but the way He knows is best for us. It´s okay to let Him know you´re furious @ Him too...He can take it. Just be honest when you talk to Him.
Kerry, I know it seems like your life is over, but trust me, it isn´t...only this season of it is. You WILL have joy & happiness again someday. It´s okay to grieve for years too if needed. With love & prayers,
Diane Danahy
