Daniel “Dano” Galli, age 54, passed away on May 7, 2026. He was born on January 28, 1972.

Dan was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, and friend who cherished time with his family and those closest to him.

Daniel was survived by his wife, Alison Galli, of Hixon, TN and his stepchildren: Aryana Hill and Antonio Hill . Dan was also survived by six cousins, two aunts, and an uncle.

Dan earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Culinary Arts from Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island, a reflection of his passion for cooking and sharing good food with others. Whether preparing a meal for family or friends, Dan expressed his care best through the kitchen.

Outside of cooking, Dan loved being on the water. He enjoyed going out on his boat, fishing, and taking in the peace that came with time on the ocean. A dedicated football fan, Dan was a lifelong supporter of the New England Patriots. His love of the game extended beyond watching—he gave back to his community by volunteering with local junior football teams, where he proudly ran the concession stands and supported young athletes.

Dan was also a devoted dog lover and shared his life with many beloved dogs over the years, including Mickey, Harley, and Brady, each of whom held a special place in his heart.

Above all, Dan enjoyed being surrounded by friends and family whenever time allowed. He will be remembered for his warmth, generosity, and the genuine care he showed to those around him.

Dan’s memory will live on through his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
