Bereavement Notice: Frank Dinello

With sadness, we have learned of the death of Frank Dinello, the founder and director of the DePaul Mental Health Clinic.  Frank passed away on June 12, 2024 at the age of 95.  He is survived by his wife, five children, nine grandchildren, great-grandchild, and extended family and friends.

Frank’s life exemplified the strength of family and the transformative power of education. It was marked by a commitment to his loved ones, to the DePaul University community, where he worked for over two decades, and to the people of Holiday Island, Arkansas, where he retired.

Frank served at DePaul for 23 years, making a substantial impact as a faculty member, a distinguished scholar, and a compassionate therapist.  Frank was known for his conscientious commitment to his students and patients.

Life Events: Notice of Birth and Bereavement 

With a mix of profound joy and sadness, we share news of the birth of twins to Tyneka Harris Coronado, associate director in Information Services, and her husband, David, on May 2, three months before their due date, followed by the eventual loss of their son, Daniel, eight days later.  

Daniel Juan Ricardo Coronado was born on May 2, 2024, one minute after his twin sister, Daniella Vira Aliean Coronado. Daniel then passed peacefully in the arms of his loving parents due to a lung infection on May 10, 2024, at the Renée Schine Crown Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Prentice Women’s Hospital in Chicago.  

Daniel’s life was a profound gift to his parents, family, and loved ones and it has changed them forever. He leaves to cherish his memory Tyneka and David and seven siblings, Sonia, Sophia, Zoe, Zyana, Mateo, Micah and Daniel’s twin sister, Daniella, as well as his grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and a host of other relatives.
