Dennis Valliere, 69, of Pelham, NH, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2025, at Lowell General Hospital, surrounded by his loving family.

Dennis was raised in Salem and graduated from Salem High School. Following graduation, he proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam era. His time in the service instilled in him a deep sense of duty and camaraderie that stayed with him throughout his life. Dennis was employed at MFS Investment Management where he worked as a Change Release Management Senior Engineer.

Dennis was a devoted husband to his wife, Denise, with whom he shared many wonderful years. Together, they built a life filled with laughter, love, and adventure.

A proud member of the American Legion in Pelham, Dennis valued the friendships and connections he made through his fellow veterans. He was an avid reader, loved spending time in the mountains, and was happiest when skiing or enjoying the great outdoors. Dennis also had a fondness for playing tennis, trying his luck at the casino, and cheering on his beloved New England Patriots.

Dennis will be remembered for his sense of humor and his ability for making people laugh. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his beloved wife Denise Valliere of Pelham, NH; his 2 sons, David Marion of Chelsea, MA and Joshua Marion and his wife Roxanne of Pelham, NH; his 5 siblings, Gerald Valliere of Manchester, NH, Deborah Fuller of Salem, NH, Daniel Valliere of Orlando, FL, Patrice Shaw of Manchester, NH and Gary Valliere of Aurora, CO; 20 nieces and nephews, several great nieces and nephews and great great nieces and nephews and several long time friends.

He was predeceased by his parents, June and A. Bernard Valliere and his brothers, Thomas and John Valliere.
