Andrew P. Sleeman

Andrew Patrick Sleeman, age 2, of Norwood, passed away unexpectedly on October 7, 2022. Andrew was born on August 25, 2020 to Joseph Sleeman and Karen MacKenzie-Sleeman. He loved dogs, exploring nature, reading books, and most especially, trying to keep up with his big brothers. Andrew attended First Congregational Church in Norwood where he was known for his beautiful, ever present smile. He also could be found walking his brothers to and from school and waving to all the school buses, trash trucks, and construction vehicles that drove by. It was impossible to be in Andrew’s presence and not be happy.

Andrew is survived by his parents, Joe and Karen, big brothers JJ, Tommy, and Ryan Sleeman, grandparents Shirley MacKenzie of Methuen, MA, Joanne and Mark Preston of Dunnellon, FL, and Joe and Anne Sleeman of Vero Beach, FL, his MacKenzie and Latraverse aunts, uncles, and cousins, and many wonderful neighbors and friends. Andrew was predeceased by his Gramps, Bill MacKenzie, who is undoubtedly building elaborate train sets for him to play with in heaven.

Visiting hours will be held Tuesday, October 11, 2022 from 4 to 6 pm at the Folsom Funeral Home, 649 High Street, Westwood. Relatives and friends are invited to attend Andrew’s funeral Wednesday at 10 am at the First Congregational Church, 100 Winter Street, Norwood. Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Andrew’s honor to the Animal Rescue League, 55 Anna’s Place, Dedham, MA 02026 would be appreciated
