Andrew K. Galante

Andrew Keith Galante, Sr., 44, of Lyndonville, passed away on November 9, 2026, at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital after a long illness.

Andrew was born on October 25, 1982, in Beverly, MA, to Michael & Kelly Galante. He lived in many places before settling in the Northeast Kingdom in 2012. He served with the Army National Guard for four years. He married Arilene Peterson on August 14, 2010, sharing 16 years together before his passing.

Andrew will be remembered as a lovable, kind-hearted, and understanding person. Though not a people person, to those whom he loved, he was their rock and their world. Family was the most important thing to him, especially his wife and two sons. He would take the boys on fishing trips and taught them his love of gaming. He enjoyed smoking marijuana to take the edge off some of life’s challenges, and he did have many challenges. He fought metastatic melanoma for over two years and went through any treatments he could to have more time with his family. Though he was taken from them too soon, he will never be forgotten by those who love him most.

Andrew is survived by his beloved wife, Arilene Galante of Lyndonville; sons Andrew Galante, Jr. & Jacob Galante of Lyndonville; father Michael Galante of Lynn, MA; brother Michael (Kerri) Galante of Salem, NH; sister Sheena Weaver of CA; step-father Raymond Martin of Springdale, AK; aunts Kim Stetson & Dianne Galante; in-laws Lyman Peterson, Jr. & Tammy Peterson; siblings in-law Tiffany Peterson, Edward (Ingrid) Peterson, Brian (Emily Sosa) Brown, April (Jay) Spring, Robert (Tammy) Peterson & Lyman Peterson III. He was predeceased by his mother, Kelly Martin and his grandmother Gail Galante.

A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
