Dennis George Cote, 74, of Manchester, NH, passed away on June 13, 2026. Born in Lawrence, MA on August 10, 1951, he was a son of the late George and Lucille (Bodah) Cote. He shared 38 years of marriage with his wife, Debra (Dugay) Cote.

Dennis grew up in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He attended Lawrence High School and Essex Agricultural School. He was a hard worker who could do just about anything and held a variety of jobs throughout his life, including construction work and courier services.

In the late 1980s, Dennis and Deb opened the Copy Print Center in Lawrence, which they owned and operated together for several years. He later worked as a manager for PCF, a sub-division of the Boston Globe. After retiring, he worked as a card dealer at the Beach Club Casino in Hampton, a role he truly enjoyed because it gave him the chance to meet and talk with people every day. In recent years, Dennis returned to his passion for graphic design and printing. He built his business, Memorable Images, where he created custom printed items and keepsakes.

Dennis was a kind-hearted jokester who loved making people laugh. He was a huge racing fan, especially NASCAR, and enjoyed traveling up & down the east coast with Deb and his family to attend races. One of his greatest joys was being crew chief for his grandson, Jordan, with JDP Racing (Jordan, Dylan & Papa), in the 603 Mini Cup series. He also loved sports and spent many years coaching his children in their youth leagues. He was a loyal fan of the Boston Red Sox, Patriots, and Bruins. He enjoyed taking trips to the beach with Deb and spending time with his family. Over the years, he was a source of guidance, support, and encouragement to his children and grandchildren.

Dennis is survived by his wife, Deb Cote of Manchester; his children, Shawn Garrison of Alabama, Jamie Garrison and partner Naresh Gajera of Manchester, Jennifer Belanger and wife Dina Desharnais of Methuen, Thomas Cote of Manchester, Frederick Cote of Manchester; his grandchildren, Ashlee and husband John, Dylan, Trayeu, Jordan, and Amelia; his great-granddaughter, Addison Lynn; his sister, Linda Khoury and husband Brian Khoury Sr. of Derry; his brother, Michael Cote and wife Martha of Texas; as well as several nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. In addition to his parents, Dennis was predeceased by his brother, Richard Cote.

Dad, you were the rock of our family – a steady source of strength and wisdom. Though our hearts are broken by your passing, your legacy will live on through us, the grandchildren, and all who cherished you. You will be deeply missed and forever loved.
