Dean Alfred Pallozzi

Dean A. Pallozzi, 62, of Underhill, Vermont, passed away unexpectedly on December 26, 2025, in Fort Myers, Florida, surrounded by his loving wife, Beverly and his caring sister, Lorna. Dean was born March 16, 1963, in Acton and was the son of Agnes (Kielty) and Salvatore Pallozzi.

Dean graduated from Acton-Carlisle High School, class of 1981. He was a member of the CCHS tennis team that placed second in the state finals in 1981. Dean obtained a bachelor of arts and master of science degrees in math and biostatistics from the University of Vermont.

Dean had a rewarding career in data governance, forecasting, and data analytics. For the past 10 years, he was employed in security administration overseeing electronic health records and health data for UVM Health. In addition, he was part of the team responsible for generating data that informed community health improvement efforts for the state of Vermont. Dean was cherished by his colleagues because of his kindness, intelligence, and commitment to professional excellence.

Dean was noted as being an exceptionally kind and thoughtful person, and he loved animals, especially his cats. He enjoyed plants, flowers, and gardening at his home in Vermont. He and his friends had many memories of swimming at Huntington Gorge in Vermont.

Dean was passionate about the outdoors and was an avid and graceful skier and a competitive tennis player well into his adult life. For many years he skied the gorges at Tuckerman Ravine, but his favorite mountain for skiing was Mount Mansfield in Stowe, Vermont, which he could see from his home in Underhill.

Dean was predeceased by his father, Salvatore. He is survived by his mother Agnes Pallozzi; his wife Beverly of 32 years; his sister Lorna Hayward (Matthew) of Wellesley; and his brother John Pallozzi (Sandra) of Acton. Dean also leaves behind nieces and nephews Julia and Andrew Hayward and Alexander and Dani Pallozzi. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.

A celebration of life will take place in May 2026 in Vermont. A private interment will take place at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Acton.
