Andrew Malizia ’12

Andrew Malizia ’12 passed away on November 6, 2021. Andrew enjoyed a rich and wonderful childhood growing up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. A talented young scholar and athlete, Andrew worked hard throughout his adolescence to become a nationally ranked junior tennis player and an exceptional student. In 2008 he graduated from Chapel Hill High School as valedictorian. At Dartmouth, where he graduated with an A.B. in mathematics, Andrew played varsity tennis as well as on the club table tennis team. Andrew had a true talent for working with young people, including math tutoring and tennis coaching. He was interested in helping adolescents and young adults cope with the stress and anxiety they faced in athletics and academics and had completed one semester of graduate work in this area. Andrew enjoyed all things sports, animals (especially dogs), and rap music and wrote verses that often expressed his deepest feelings. He will be remembered for his loving smile, engaging personality and infectious laugh, athletic abilities, brilliant mind, and most importantly, his beautiful soul. He loved and was loved by many and lived a life full of warmth, community, and meaning. Andrew is survived by his family, girlfriend, and friends. In his own words: “Eliminate ‘shoulds’ from your psyche. Do what feels positive and right.” And “Talent does not equal motivation. Enthusiasm goes a long way.” The class of 2012 has made a donation in Andrew’s memory to Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (www.orangehabitat.org).
