Andrew James Mazzarella-Faria, 46, of Dartmouth, peacefully passed away with his wife and children by his side, on Friday, June 7, 2024 at Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston. He was the beloved husband of Patricia Faria, with whom he shared almost 14 years of marriage.
Born in New Bedford, he was the son of the late Pasquale Mazzarella and Annemarie (Johnson) Mitchell.
Andrew was a graduate of Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School. He started and owned his own business, iMedia Solutions for over 10 years. He was actively involved in church where he was a Youth Minister for several years. Over 6 years ago he started working for what he would refer to as the best place he could ever dream of working with New Relic as a Solutions Engineer/Software Architect. He was a devoted husband, true and loyal friend, and most of all a proud and dedicated father. He enjoyed working in his garden, camping, fishing, farming, taking care of his animals, and any other outdoor activities that came his way. Andrew had a heart of gold, loved everyone, and could always see the good in others. He will be deeply missed.
In addition to his wife, Patricia, he is survived by his loving children, Michael Andrew Faria, Gabriel Andrew Faria, Rafaela Marie Faria, and Seraphina Maria Faria, all of Dartmouth; his in-laws, Antonio Faria and his wife Lilia of São Miguel, and parental figures, Stephen Paterna and his wife Dolores of Lakeville.
His Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, June 17, 2024 at 10:00AM at St. Julie Billiart Church, 494 Slocum Rd., Dartmouth, MA 02747. Everyone is to go directly to church. Burial will be private at a later date. Arrangements are in the care of WARING-SULLIVAN HOME AT DARTMOUTH. For online tributes, please visit our website at www.waring-sullivan.com
