Dickie Nee Memorial

Dickie Nee was loved and admired by many. He could make anyone laugh with his witty jokes and unique sense of humor. It didn’t matter if you had met Dickie for a day or known him your entire life, he made you feel like family. And that was what mattered most to him, his family. He was a proud husband to Katie and an even prouder father to their seven children. He was blessed with the role of grandfather this May and flawlessly did so after watching his own father be a standup grandparent. Dickie showed his family what it meant to be selfless and trust completely in God. After many months of battling cancer, Dickie passed peacefully surrounded by his family on December 24th.

Dickie dedicated much of his life to advocate for children with special needs. Holding two close to his heart, his two youngest children, Annie and Coleman.  He raised money for research and ran in the Boston Marathon for the Rett Syndrome Team, never giving up faith that someday their will be a cure. Both Annie and Coleman are in wheelchairs because of their diseases. All money that will be raised will go to purchase a handicapped accessible van for these two.

The family is at peace knowing the Dickie is no longer suffering and is reunited with his son Seamus and brother Tommy. They are overwhelmed with the amount of support after his passing and the passing of his father, Thomas. Any size donation is greatly appreciated by the entire Nee family.
