Dennis Paulazzo
March 1st, 1937 - March 13th, 2025
In Loving Memory of Dennis Paulazzo, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend to all. He passed away peacefully on 3/13/25 at the age of 88 with family at his side. Born in 1937 in Santa Barbara, he graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1954, and attended UCSB before serving as a sergeant photographer in the US Army.
He was preceded in death by his daughter Tami Paulazzo and is survived by his wife Susanne, children Perry Paulazzo, Denise Meeder, Kyle Ross, ten grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. A man with a big heart, Dennis was known for his humor, loyalty, and contagious smile. A social butterfly with a twinkle in his eye, he made everyone feel special and spread joy wherever he went.
Dennis was deeply involved in his community, founding the Goleta Valley Little League, Santa Barbara Figure Skating Club, and volunteering at Cottage Hospital for 14 years. He had a deep passion for trains and was a proud, longtime member of the Gold Coast Garden Railway Club. A true lover of cats, good food, and the Dodgers (he lived for every game).
A mass celebrating Dennis’s life will be held on 3/31/25, at 10am at Saint Raphael's. He will be greatly missed but always remembered for the love and laughter he brought to those around him.
In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF)."
