Andrew Dinneen Obituary

Andrew Kevin Dinneen, 35, formerly of Plymouth, went home to Jesus, Friday, May 23, 2014. Although he passed unexpectedly, his family finds comfort in knowing he is now at peace after living a full and eventful life, to say the least. To know Andrew was to love him as his laughter and kindness was contagious to all. Andrew leaves behind those he loved the most as a son, brother and uncle, always putting them before himself as their protector. Andrew was an avid sports fan, loved playing the guitar and reading his Bible daily. Also, he recently went back to school to further his education. Andrew's best friend was his 5-year-old nephew, Daniel Perolta; and in March he was blessed with his first niece, Audrey Farrell, whom he also planned to spoil. Andrew leaves behind his mother, Anne (Ballinger) Mullaney and her companion Warren Borsari; his father, Richard Dinneen; as well as his sisters, Erin (Dinneen) Farrell and her husband Will Farrell, Kelsey Mullaney and her fiance Joseph Benoit; and his "baby sister", Victoria "Tori" Mullaney; his grandparents include James and the late "Nana June" Ballinger and Robert Dinneen; and his "Nana" Christine Mullaney. Andrew was also the stepson of William Mullaney. His closest friends, and sometimes "his protectors", were the Alonardo brothers. Andrew leaves behind too many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends to list, but when you were with him, he made you feel you were the most important person in his life with the love and appreciation he shared with you. Although his family now grieves the loss of "our Andrew, our protector", they find comfort in knowing he will be waiting for them in his new home with open arms as they greet "Our Heavenly Father." Visiting hours were at the Shepherd Funeral Home, 216 Main Street (Rte. 106), Kingston, Monday, June 2, 2014, from 4-8 p.m. Funeral services were at the Shepherd Funeral Home, Kingston, Tuesday, June 3, 2014, at 9 a.m., followed by his funeral Mass at Saint Peter's Church, 86 Court Street, Plymouth, at 10 a.m. Interment in Saint Joseph's Cemetery, Summer Street, Plymouth.
