Dax Tejera Obituary
January 24, 1985 - December 23, 2022
New York, New York - Dax Tejera, Executive Producer of the ABC News flagship public affairs program "This Week," died in New York City on Friday, December 23. He was 37. While Dax's life was cut short, he lived the time he was given to the fullest. He married a woman who shared his passion for life and commitment to family, fathered two beautiful girls and rose to the peak of a profession he revered.
A proud Miami native, Dax attended Palmer Trinity School, serving as senior class president and graduating at the top of his class. He then attended Dartmouth College, graduating cum laude with a B.A. in History and Government in 2007. Strong willed, Dax led with his own compass. He was a devout Episcopalian, attending mass at St. John's Episcopal Church across from the White House every Sunday with his family. He treasured family and poured his boundless energy into the roles he deemed most sacred: loving husband, doting father, devoted brother, faithful son, caring cousin and loyal friend.
He is survived by his wife, Veronica; their daughters, two-year-old Sofia and six-month-old Ella; his parents, Gloria and Richard Tejera; his brother, Justin; aunts and uncles, Maria and Jeffrey St. George, Patricia and Alejandro Chediak; cousins, Bianca Chisholm, Zaba St. George Castro, Alejandro M. Chediak, and Daniela Chediak of Miami, Florida and in Vero Beach, Florida; his aunts and uncles, Charles Gibbons, Kevin Gibbons, Heather Lowther, Madge Dobeck; and the larger extended Gibbons family. He is predeceased by his uncles, Darby, Mark, and Carter.
Dax will be laid to rest in Miami under the Tejera headstone following a church service at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Coral Gables on Saturday, January 7, 2023 at 11 A.M. There will also be a memorial service at Saint Thomas Church in Manhattan on Friday, January 13, 2023 at 2 P.M.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to Sofia and Ella's education fund. https://go.fidelity.com/wa365p
