Dennis Meehan Obituary

Meehan Jr., Dennis Dennis John Meehan, Jr, 29, passed away February 8, 2015. He was born on June 25, 1985 in Melbourne, FL. He graduated from West Shore Jr/Sr. High School with Honors in 2003, then with an AA from FESC and continued his education at UCF. He was fluent in French, Spanish, Japanese and sign language. He worked at Meehans' Office Products since 2008. He could fix anything related to electronics, yet his greatest gift was making people laugh. With his sharp wit he could always bring a room to laughter. He loved to go camping with Heather, Gavin, and friends to Rock Springs, Blue Springs, and the Florida Keys. He loved photography and his favorite singer was Cher. Dennis is predeceased by his grandparents James and Mary Meehan and step-grandfather Leon Benjamin of Melbourne, FL; and his grandfather Merril Lunn of Orlando, FL. He is survived by his loving parents Dennis Meehan Sr. and Kathleen (Lunn) Meehan; his sister Heather Broome and her husband Gavin; and his faithful cat Miss Kitty of Melbourne, FL. His grandmother Joyce Lunn of Orlando, FL. His aunt Barbara Miller (Warren); His uncles Ron Meehan (Lee Ann) and Ken Meehan of Melbourne, FL; His uncle Doug Lunn (Janice) of Orlando, FL; and many cousins and relatives. He is also survived by his cherished friend Gina Calistro and her daughter Nevaeh Calistro, who he cared for and loved as his own Daughter. We will always carry Dennis memory in our hearts. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. A private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his honor to Circles of Care, 400 E Sheridan Ave Melbourne, FL 32901; or the National Alliance on Mental Illness www.NAMI.org, or Animal services of www.brevardsheriff.com, go online to donate.

Dennis and Kathy,
I'm terribly sorry about Dennis. I didn't know. I see from his obit that donations were to go to circles, NAMI and/or the animal shelter. I wish I would have known him...seems like we have a lot in comnon... (I take anxiety medication and would do anything for any animal). I just wanted you to know that I only just found out and send you my family's sincerest condolences. Love, Lori Elizabeth Peart Oas

Dennis was a complex, caring, and sensitive individual. Gifted beyond belief, enough so to make those around him jealous until they came to know his warm nature. He was fearless, troubled like the rest of us, and above all else a beautiful human being. Dennis will forever be missed by those who knew him, and by myself - especially so.
