Petix, Dean

Dean Petix, 47, was called home on February 17, 2021, having suffered a traumatic brain injury due to an equipment malfunction of his plane while on the ground at the Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport.

Dean was born in New Haven, CT on October 4, 1973 to Irene (Barnes) and William Petix of Mansfield Center, CT. He was a graduate of E.O. Smith High School and the University of Connecticut. Dean was a computer prodigy who was employed by numerous organizations. He was loved and cherished as an only child and as a loving husband. Dean was a very generous man with his family and his coworkers. His giving personality kept giving even in death as his organs were donated and saved the life of at least two recipients. He will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

He leaves behind his wife of 25 years, Laura, daughter

of Gene and Marlene Whaples formerly of Mansfield, CT; his loving mother and father; numerous aunts and

uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

A private service was held on March 21, 2021 at the Mansfield Center Cemetery where he was laid to rest. A zoom memorial service was held on April 10, 2021 in honor of Dean's life and many accomplishments.
