Yan Nits Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Mitzvah Memorial Funerals - Northbrook on Feb. 18, 2026.
Yan Nits, age 79. Beloved husband of Olga; loving father of Anna and Oksana and the late Stas; cherished grandfather of Daniela, Isabel, Sawyer, Silas and Shayden; dear brother of Vera Nits; loving uncle of Sabina Nits (Ilya) Bernshteyn.

Yan was a man of great strength and deep devotion to his family, with a heart truly made of gold. He was steady, patient, and quietly proud, always happiest when surrounded by the people he loved. He cherished time spent together, especially around the table sharing stories and his favorite Russian jokes. Above all, he was a loving husband and devoted family man who placed his loved ones at the center of his world.

He will be remembered for his resilience, humor, bright smile, calm nature, incredible strength and the deep love he gave so freely.
