David P. Zotti
WWII Veteran
12 September 1925 – 23 May 2024

David P. Zotti was a man of many talents and passions, including his intricate wildlife carvings, exquisite wooden ship model building, and beautiful paintings. Each piece he created reflected his dedication, skill, and love for the craft, leaving behind a legacy of artistry that will be cherished by all who knew him.

In 2018, David had the honor of participating in the Southwest Florida Honor Flight to Washington, DC. The Honor Flight’s mission is both straightforward and noble: to transport veterans safely to Washington, DC, to be honored at their memorials and to give them the welcome home they deserve. This experience was a poignant reminder of the respect and gratitude he earned through his service during World War II.

David’s peaceful passing on May 23, 2024, brings comfort to his family, as they are certain he is reunited with his beloved Madeline, Louise, Bobby, his parents, and his brothers and sisters. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to his caregiver, Anna, and the staff at Gulf Coast Village for their compassionate care and support.

A memorial service will be held in Connecticut later this summer to celebrate David’s life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions in David’s memory be made to S.W. Florida Honor Flight Inc., P.O. Box 495065, Port Charlotte, FL 33949.

Mullins Memorial Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Cape Coral is entrusted with David’s final care.

May he rest in peace, forever remembered for his service, his artistry, and his love for family and friends.
