Neil Zuncic Obituary

Neil K. Zuncic
Born: September 1, 1978
Died: November 1, 2024
Neil K. Zuncic, age 46, of Highlands Ranch, CO, passed away on Friday, November 1, 2024. Neil left this world surrounded by his wife, Olivia Zuncic, and parents, Christine and Kenneth Zuncic, who deeply mourn his loss alongside Neil's daughters, Vivian Christine and Ava Lillian, his brother, Eric Zuncic, their extended family, and community members.
Neil's boundless commitment to his family was his greatest achievement in life. He will be remembered for his ability to connect with people of all different walks of life, adventurous spirit, equal love of the mountains and the beach, and passion for any gathering of good people.
Born on September 1, 1978 in Illinois, Neil's childhood was spent adventuring in the La Grange Park neighborhood with friends, enduring long road-trips with his brother, swimming competitively, and finding his true purpose in life. After graduating from Lyons Township High School in 1997, Neil went on to Southern Illinois University where he earned a degree in Business Management and expanded his circle of brothers at Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Neil built his career in various sales leadership positions, serving clients around the country and building e-commerce businesses, and found his passion in veterinary pharmaceutical sales, where he developed an expertise. No matter where he was, Neil made connections and new friends through his curiosity and remarkable memory. He was beloved by colleagues, neighbors, and friends who deeply valued his loyalty, honesty, and ability to create a community.
There was no love greater than that which Neil had for his beautiful wife, Olivia, and their daughters, Vivian and Ava. Neil's purpose in life was ultimately discovered in creating his own family, and his sudden loss is an unbearable grief.
Neil is survived by his wife Olivia and daughters Vivian and Ava, mother Christine and father Kenneth, brother Eric and his wife Grace, sister-in-law Alana and her husband Matt, mother-in-law Karen Abraham and father-in-law Craig Littler and wife Lynn, cousin Anna So and husband Shaun, and nieces and nephews Charlie, Ellie, and Maverick. He is preceded by his beloved grandparents and relatives - all who surely welcomed him with a warm embrace.
The Zuncic family would like to extend an incredibly heartfelt thank you to Summit View Elementary School in Colorado. A Celebration of Life will take place on November 23, 2024. One of Neil's most important goals in life was to see his daughters through college. We kindly ask that any donations are made to the Zuncic Family Fundraiser [https://givebutter.com/u6nuad] to help make that goal possible. The Zuncic family is eternally grateful for your support, love, and prayers.
