Yanvari Steven Hitt, of Winter Garden, FL, passed away on Tuesday, November 10, 2020, at the age of 48.  He was born to parents Harry Steven and Vicki Lynn (Siler) Hitt on August 1, 1972, in Defiance, OH.

Yanvari grew up traveling the world as the eldest of three boys in a military family.  Throughout his life, he lived in Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, Germany, Oklahoma, Maine, Virginia, Italy, Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, New York, and Alabama.  No matter where he was, though, his infectious humor and smile drew people in.  Most of his career was dedicated to the restaurant industry.  He also enjoyed sports (especially the Patriots), creating art, cooking, and trips to the casino.

Nothing was more important to Yanvari, though, than his family and close friends.  In 2000, he married Holly (Darley), whom he spent the next 20 years of his life with.  They were there for each other through the joys and the challenges, and she was there by his side when he passed.

Yanvari is survived by his wife, Holly, and brothers Shawn (Lanette) Hitt of Denver, CO,  and Seth (Rachel) Hitt of Orlando, FL.  He has finally been reunited with his parents that both preceded him in death.

A socially distanced memorial service will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at 10:30am at the Ocoee Church of God (1105 North Lakewood Ave, Ocoee, FL 34761).  For those unable to attend in person, the service will be livestreamed for people to view virtually.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a memorial gift to help the family cover the cost of final arrangements.   A webpage has been created in Yanvari's honor with more information about the service, contacting the family, or making contributions. https://sites.google.com/view/yanhitt
