Andrew Olivieri

    Andrew "Andy" Olivieri, 45, of Belmont, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully, on June 1, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. He faced his diagnosis with unwavering determination and a grace that moved everyone around him. Andy was born on January 7, 1981, in Belmont, where he grew up, went to school, and built a life rooted in the people and places he loved. At Belmont High School, he found lifelong friends on the football field and hockey rink, teammates who would remain close for decades. He went on to earn a BS in Computer Information Systems from Bentley College, followed by a Master of Science in Corporate Finance from McCallum Graduate School of Business, leading him to start a career in finance at Staples, and then the last 14 years at New Balance. Those who worked alongside him will tell you he didn't just do the job well, he made an enormous impact on the people around him, in the way only someone quietly exceptional can. Andy had a gift for the good things in life, and he pursued them with great commitment. Dunkin' Donuts; cookies in generous portions; chocolates. He was a man who appreciated comfortable silence, expensive cars, fast drives down a New England highway with no particular agenda, and a great deal at box stores. You might find him logging steps around Fresh Pond, catching a sunrise on Cape Cod, hiking Mount Monadnock, cruising Newbury Street or out on the water with friends, as the DJ with his tropical EDM. He was a devoted Boston sports fan, because of course he was. His most cherished adventures were the ones shared with his nephew, Ryan, the kind of memories that don't need much explaining to the people who were there. What set Andy apart, more than anything, was his instinct to show up. Selflessly, without hesitation, without complaint, in the big moments and the small ones alike. His dry, subtle humor had a way of landing exactly when you needed it. And his presence, whether in a crowd or a quiet room, made people feel steadied.

    Andy is survived by his mother, Judy Rogers; his brother, Nico Olivieri; his sister, Rachel, her husband, Michael Coffey; and their son, Ryan; and a wide circle of friends who loved him deeply. A Celebration of Andrew's Life will be held this summer.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in support of cancer research.
