Vincent Yotti

Born in Chicago, Illinois
Departed November 21, 2023 in Melbourne Beach, Florida

Vincent Yotti, better known as “Vince,” is survived by his wife of 72 years, Duane Marilyn Yotti; his daughters Peggy Yotti Lynch, Lindy Yotti Olinger, Cara Yotti Hudnall and her husband Nick Hudnall. His grandchildren include Cody Vincent Farrington, Shea Nicole McKibben, her husband Scott McKibben, Evan Lynch and Austin Lee Olinger; great grandchildren include Caylee Farrington, Chloe Farrington and Silver Avery McKibben.

Vince was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois and served in the Air Force for 3 years in 1950. Vince married his wife Duane in June of 1952 and started building and remodeling homes in DesPlaines, Illinois. Vince and Duane moved to Florida in 1957 and Vince continued building as a very creative and successful General Contractor. When Vince passed at 94, he was still holding an active General Contractor’s License and had rental properties. His mind was sharp until the end; inventing things, tinkering in his garage with many projects and had ideas of how he was going to develop his commercial property.

The best way to describe Vince was he lived a “full life”, he knew what he wanted and didn’t want and “Don’t You Forget It”, just one of his favorite expressions. Vince loved his family, made a friend wherever he went and touched many lives. He will be missed!!

Vince passed away in peace at his home and was surrounded by his family.
