Vincent DiTommaso Obituary
Born: May 31, 1956
Died: January 17, 2024
Vincent Louis DiTommaso, age 67, of Yorkville, Illinois passed away unexpectedly of an undiagnosed heart condition on Wednesday, January 17, 2024. He was born on May 31, 1956, in Chicago, Illinois. Vince is the youngest son of Vincent and Loretta DiTommaso.
Vince was united in marriage to Tristen (formerly Anderson) on March 13, 2010. Together they built a life that they loved in the countryside, often surrounded by friends and family.
Vince was a prominent attorney in the Chicagoland area, proudly practicing law alongside his son James at DiTommaso Law.
He was a loving husband, father, stepfather, grandfather, brother, and uncle, making friends everywhere he went. He will be deeply missed by so many.
Vince is survived by his wife, Tristen DiTommaso; his children, Alexandra DiTommaso, and James (Karyna) DiTommaso; his stepson, Dominic DeGradi; his brother, Anthony (Lucy) DiTommaso; his sister, Anita (Michael) Plecas; many nieces and nephews, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Terry and Barbara Anderson; countless beloved friends; and his faithful furry companions Bo and Lily.
Vince was preceded in death by his parents, Vincent and Loretta DiTommaso, and his grandson, Ryan Levine.
Though he was taken far too soon, he lived an extraordinary life surrounded by people who adored him.
A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at Saint Francis Xavier, 124 Spring Ave, La Grange, IL 60525 with Father Bill Tkachuk officiating. Interment will be private.
