Eric Thomas Dienno

Eric Thomas Dienno, age 36, of Downingtown, PA, died on Friday, October 25, 2024, alongside his father in a tragic accident. Eric was the beloved son of Vito Thomas Dienno and Sharon Cambria Dienno of West Chester. 

Understandably, Eric and Vito’s family is devastated. One thing is clear; Eric and Vito loved each other and were loved deeply by their family. The entire Dienno and Patton family requests your grace, patience, understanding, and to refrain from judgement as they navigate their very complicated loss. 

Eric was a 2007 graduate of Upattinas School, Glenmoore, where he made many lifelong friends and explored his passion for designing and building anything and everything. 

He owned and operated several businesses throughout his life, most recently Dienno Mechanical LLC, a home remodeling and HVAC business. 

Eric had a brilliant, busy mind, filled with ideas that drove him to invent many things. He enjoyed bouncing his concepts off others. He loved to share his opinions and to socialize. He was always making new friends while keeping ties with lifelong friends. 

He will be remembered for his charm, humor, and determination, for always being true to himself and his love of his family, and yes, his three cats. Eric had a huge heart and didn’t hesitate to help others in need. 

Survivors include, in addition to his mother, Sharon; brother, Dustin and his wife, Adrianne, of Flagstaff, AZ; sister, Nikki Patton and her husband, Jason, of West Chester, PA; four nieces who adored him, Kylie, Kendall, Emi, and Ona; and numerous cousins, uncles, and aunts.
