Ioannis Giannakouros Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Yanni carried himself with a presence that was larger than life, it was always known when he was nearby. He was Jovial and positive and had a way of building-up those around him. His laugh and smile were infectious, as he genuinely loved to spend time with family and friends. Yanni had a heart of gold and was never shy to provide a helping hand. As a man with many talents, he was able to whip-up a meal while plotting his next venture. He enjoyed the hustle and was continuously working hard to better his life and those around him. Yanni would tell you, "Don't be afraid to cry, it will free your mind from sorrowful thoughts."
He is survived by his mother, Eleni Sigalas of New Smyrna Beach. He shared his life with his partner Tara Salvati and her children, Janine, Marissa, and Devon, and 4 grandchildren. His brother Kosta and wife Kelley, and their children and his sister Evangelia "Lisa". Now he joins his father in heaven, Christos Giannakouros.
Funeral service will commence on Wednesday, July 20, 11:30 AM at Baldwin Brothers Funeral in New Smyrna Beach. Followed by a procession to Edgewater cemetery. A celebration of life to follow in New Smyrna Beach, all are welcome.

Eleni and Tara, this is Jennifer. I just heard of this very very sad news 10 minutes ago. Yanni was my friend. He would pick on me at Walmart every time I seen him there working. I will never forget the good times we had working together at the restraunt. My blessings and prayers are sent to you both. Please call me Eleni when you can. 386-273-2363....I love you, Jennifer (Nicholas)
