Daniel Patrick McMenimen

Daniel Patrick McMenimen, 62 years young, long time resident of Plymouth, NH passed away peacefully February 5th 2023 after a time of challenging and declining health.

 

Dan aka "Spike" was born in Winchester MA in 1961, the fourth child of George C. and Florence (Cormier) McMenimen Jr .

 

He was a kindhearted individual with a unique laugh and a good sense of humor. He always tried to help someone out if he could.

 

Dan was a member of the Class of 1979 at PAHS and participated in wrestling and track. His first job was working at his parent's restaurant "Little John's" on Main Street in Plymouth. He worked many other places before becoming self-employed doing landscaping until his health condition prevented him from working.

 

Dan loved the outdoors, bike adventures, hiking and trail blazing, camping, watching TV (especially Jeopardy), cooking, open mic nights, listening to the radio, board and card games and chess.  He avidly rooted for all Boston sports teams and could not miss a game. He also liked vintage 70's music, trivia, anything tie dyed, and general  1970 time warp artifacts and stuff. He was a unique retro kind of groovy guy. He enjoyed spending time with his good friends, Max MacPherson Jr, Michelle Lemay, and "Queen Elizabeth".

 

Huge thanks for the years of care, kindness, and friendship to Dr. John Bentwood.

 

He was predeceased by his parents. He is survived by his four siblings Jean M. Laverdiere and her husband Robert, of Newmarket NH, David M. McMenimen of  Cambridge MA, George C. McMenimen III of Plymouth NH, and Timothy P. McMenimen and wife Nancy, of Marlborough MA.  He also leaves behind his favorite niece Valerie Laverdiere and nephew  Peter "Little Pete" Laverdiere, many cousins and great friends, friendly acquaintances, and good neighbors.

 

The family extends  extreme gratitude and appreciation to MidState Healthcare, the Cardiovascular Team at Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital, Pemi Baker Hospice and Visiting Nurses, The Wound Care Team at Speare, and Lakes Region Community Services, and VNA Hospice in Concord.

 

In lieu of flowers, Dan suggested that tribute/ memorial gifts be made to: 

Plymouth State University

c/o Plymouth Opportunity Scholarship Angel Fund.

He wanted to help students in financial need get a boost to finish their education and move on successfully in the world.

 

 

Services  will be held at a later date.  

Burial will be in the family plot at Riverside Cemetery in Plymouth, NH.
