Henry Stanley Dziekan Jr., passed away on Wednesday, November 26, 2025 after a long illness. He was the devoted husband of Cathy (Alea) Dziekan, and the father of sons Salvatore 'Sam' (Kate Daniels) of Branford and Henry III 'Jake' (Bolam Kim) of New York City. He is survived by his brothers Andre, James, Daniel, and Richard and his sister Irene. He was predeceased by his infant brother Joseph.
Henry was born in Derby, CT on August 23, 1952, the eldest son of the late Henry and Genevieve (Kapusta) Dziekan. Henry was a devoted husband and proud father. He loved nothing more than spending time with his family whether it be traveling together or just having pizza and movie nights at home.
He was a proud Veteran of the U.S. Navy and served in the Vietnam War on Gunboats. He always remained connected by being involved with the Catholic War Veterans Post 1562 in Derby and more recently VFW Post 12106 in Branford. After his years in the military, he spent his career of 35 years at Yale New Haven Hospital in the Engineering Department, serving the last several years as Lead Man.
We would like to extend our gratitude to the amazing doctors, nurses and staff at VA Hospital in West Haven. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the amazing care you gave to Henry.
