Publish in a newspaper
His career started as a press operator with Augusta Print Shop and J.S. McCarthy. In 2001 he started his career with the United States Army and National Guard. He proudly served his country from 2001-2024. The Army/National Guard gave him the adventurous career he sought. He served two tours of duty in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He retired in 2024 as a 1st Sargent.
His proudest moment was becoming a dad to his daughter Evelyn. He was the happiest spending time with her weather on an adventure or cuddling on the couch. He loved boating, skiing, 4 wheeling and many other outdoor activities. He lived life to the fullest seeking out the next adventure.
He was a leader, teacher and listener to all he encountered. He had a kind, loving, caring, soul who was always willing to lend a hand. He looked for the good in others always willing to offer a second. Chance. He will be missed by all that knew and loved him.
He is survived by his mother Candace Pineo of Chelsea. His daughter Evelyn Pineo of Winthrop/ Minot. His sister Andrea Larrabee, her husband Jon and children Maddy and Cole of Derry New Hampshire.
