Dreux A. Telesha

Dreux Anthony Telesha, 68, of Cheshire, passed away peacefully while surrounded by his loving family on November 7, 2025. Born in Bridgeport on October 29, 1957, he was the son of the late Phyllis (Cobb) and Daniel Telesha. Dreux attended Milford High School and was a 1975 graduate from Foran High School.

Dreux had a successful career in sales at Marshall Industries and Burndy Corporation for many years. With the slowing of the electronic industry market, he decided to follow his passion in restoring and refinishing boats, which he continued to do for over 20 years. Dreux enjoyed boating, vacationing in Cape Cod, and on most weekends he would spend his days on the beach at the Surf Club in Madison. In his later years, he especially enjoyed surrounding himself with family, including his cherished granddaughter Paisley, who dearly loved him and called him “Pop”.

Dreux leaves behind his devoted son Justin Telesha (Amanda), his step-son Kevin Garrick (Carey Allen), his granddaughters Paisley Mae Telesha and Madison Garrick, his sisters Danette Busby (Edward) and Tara Telesha, and several nieces and nephews. Dreux now joins his late parents and his brother Michael Telesha.

All arrangements are private and at the convenience of the family.

Prospect Memorial/The Palmerie Family Funeral Home is honored to care for Dreux and assist his family during this difficult time. Please leave your condolences, memories, and words of comfort for his family on Dreux's Tribute Wall on this page.
