Louis Wayne Vuletich, born on May 29, 1966, husband to the late Betty Jo Vuletich, passed away on Monday, February 26, 2024.

Born and raised in Globe, AZ, Louie moved from Phoenix to New Castle in 1995, taking up his wife's journey to return to her children. It's a journey he made possible for her, one they filled with their own way of living, sharing the joys of fishing, gaming, goofing, and loving.

He walked by his wife, holding her hand as they found their place in Virginia. He showed up for those last hell-raising years of her children as teenagers and gave up himself by helping raise grandchildren who loved him beyond measure and without judgment. Louie had the gentlest of souls, and his kindness towards others is the legacy he leaves behind.

Louie is preceded in death by his wife, parents, three sisters, and one brother.
