Dennis Tedesco Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Eastern Shore Cremation and Funeral Service on Jan. 21, 2026.
Dennis Tedesco, 45, passed away peacefully after a long term battle with cancer on January 9, 2026, at his home in Salisbury, Maryland surrounded by his family and friends.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dennis was a man who lived with passion, humor, and an open heart. Dennis carried his roots with him wherever he went...especially when it came to his lifelong love for the Philadelphia Eagles. Win or lose, he was a loyal fan through and through, always ready for game day and never missing a chance to cheer on his team.

He was a skilled general contractor and painter, known for his strong work ethic, attention to detail, and pride in his craft. Dennis worked hard and helped others even harder...always willing to lend a hand, share his time, or give you the shirt off his back.

He loved tattoos, music, and movies, and could often be found enjoying a round of golf or spending peaceful hours fishing. A fan of Star Wars, Dennis appreciated a good story of loyalty, resilience, and fighting for what matters...values he lived by every day. He had a quick wit, a great sense of humor, and a laugh that made people feel at ease. Above all else, he was a devoted husband and proud dog dad to his beloved "son," Ludo, who was never far from his side.

Dennis is survived by his loving wife, Megan; his mother, Deborah Tedesco; his father, Anthony Tedesco; his brothers, Jason Tedesco and his wife Laura, and Anthony Tedesco and his wife Larissa; his cherished nieces, Alana, Gianna, and Isabella; and his beloved dog, Ludo. He was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A memorial service for family and friends will be held at a later date, with details to be announced.

Dennis's kindness, humor, generosity, and unwavering loyalty...to the people he loved, the team he cheered for, and the life he lived...will live on. May the Force be with him, always.
