Zoran Botic Obituary
1948 - 2017
Dr. Zoran Bozidar Botic was born on October 6, 1948 in Valjevo, Serbia to Bozidar Botic (father) and Vinka Radovic Botic (mother). On November 17, 2017, after a two-year battle with melanoma, he passed away at The Ohio State University James Cancer Hospital with his family by his side. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Martello Botic, two daughters, Simonida and Christiana Botic, son-in-law, Timothy Simeone, and grandson, Alyosha Simeone. Dr. Botic deeply loved his family and God. He practiced medicine for 40 years. As an anesthesiologist, he was known for putting his patients at ease and making them laugh even in the toughest of circumstances. He attended medical school at the University of Belgrade and went on to do a residency in anesthesia at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and a fellowship in high-risk obstetrical anesthesia at the University of Louisville. Most importantly, he was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Dr. Botic will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor, larger-than-life stories, great intellect, unwavering faith, and tender heart. He was a member of St. Stevan-Dechani Serbian Orthodox Church and Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Columbus, Ohio. Arrangements were entrusted to SCHOEDINGER NORTHEAST CHAPEL 1051 E. Johnstown Rd, Gahanna, OH 43230 where a visitation will take place on Tuesday, November 21, 2017 from 5-7pm.

Dear Pat and family,
So sorry to hear this news. It has been a number of years since we were neighbors and I worked with Zoran at Shelby. I'll never forget the moment we learned your Dad/Grandfather, Arno Martello taught me geometry at Thomas Jefferson High School; this connection fostered our professional relationship. Zoran enjoyed life and brought many laughs and cherished memories to our careers!
