Vytautas Nasvytis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 30, 2024.
Vytautas A. Nasvytis passed peacefully on March 15, 2024. Funeral mass will be held Saturday, April 6 at 11:30am at The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist (1007 Superior Ave, Cleveland, OH 44114). Following the service, Celebration of Life Luncheon at Gintaras/The Lithuanian Club (877 E. 185th Street, Cleveland).

Vytautas was born January 28, 1934 in Lithuania. As a young boy, he and his family escaped the Russian front and lived in a displaced persons camp from 1945 until immigrating to the U.S in 1949.

He was a kind and happy-go-lucky soul who found joy in ballroom dancing with his wife Milita of 58 years, passionate about playing chess, loved strolling through Edgewater Park and enjoyed discussing stocks, world history and politics. He was especially proud of his Lithuanian heritage and service as a Marine.

Beloved father to Linas, Ingrida and Arunas Nasvytis; cherished grandfather to Alliah and Aidan Nasvytis and great-grandfather to Alina Gargano. Loving son, brother and cousin to all of whom have preceded him into eternity and uncle to many.

A heartfelt thank you to the medical staff at Louise Stokes VA Medical Center/CARES and all the caregivers who've provided him with compassionate and respectful care, especially during his last days at Heroes Harbor.

The family suggests donating in his memory to your favorite charity or organization. Know that any Veterans or Lithuanian related organizations were near and dear to his heart.

Of all the Nasvytis families ,we were closest to our Cleveland family,
Uncle V was the youngest brother of my Late father Kazys Nasvytis, Uncle V was the last of the brothers and last of that generation ! They are at peace and all together at home once again. All are always loved and missed, I am grateful for all the times and memories that were shared together growing up.
They would come up to Canada and visit often ,as we would visit in Cleveland.
I remember he taught me to shave at the house on 1234 West blvd.
He and Kazys would often take each others cars out for a test spin , to see whats under the hood, which as young kids we loved haha Probably were our love of performance cars started . He and dad would discuss stocks and world events etc and have spirited debates, again why I still trade stocks.
He was always upbeat, and when I called to say I was coming to visit, he would say bring me a bottle of Canadian whisky. I would, and we would enjoy , not sure how happy Aunt Militia was always about this. He ialso taught us to play chess, Im not bad but he was a master, Once I went to the Parama credit union in Toronto to make a deposit, when the teller saw my name ,he asked do you have an Uncle Vitus ,I replied why yes , he said I was playing chess against him in Buffalo on the weekend,, Small world , xoxo Love you all
