Velimir Kondic, of Chicago, passed away Sunday morning, June 29, 2025 in Des Plaines, IL. Born June 20, 1930 in Sanski Most, Podovi to the late Rosa and the late Despot Kondic, he moved to Novi Sad, Serbia and then later realized his lifelong dream to immigrate to the United States in 1972.
He was the beloved husband of Bosiljka; loving father of Gordana (Dragisa) Mirjanich and Stevica; cherished grandfather of Nicole (Ryan) Moore; proud great-grandfather of Simon and Ilya; dear brother of Milan (Zora) Kondic; fond uncle of Spomenko (Lauren) Kondic, Spomenka (Dan) Biner, Marinko (Susan) Kondic, and their families; and kind in-law to Prija Desa Mirjanich and her family.
Velimir was a member of Old Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Church for over 40 years and a member of Srpska Bratska Pomo (Serbian Brothers Help). He was a former bus driver for the CTA, a former member of the transit union, and also worked as a realtor throughout the Chicagoland area for many years. He especially enjoyed discussing politics and business, and was a hard worker who always encouraged his children to strengthen their education and to be self-reliant. He was always there to lend a helping hand to everyone who needed it, especially those within the Serbian community. He will be dearly missed by Kumovi, family and friends.
