Vito Anthony Impastato, a native of Baton Rouge, LA, and a resident of Houston, TX, passed away on November 27, 2020 at the age of 60. Vito attended St. Thomas More Elementary and graduated in 1977 from Catholic High School in Baton Rouge. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Business in 1981 from the University of Louisiana Lafayette. He was a successful self-employed home remodeler for many years. A loving son, brother, and father, Vito was a devout Catholic and an avid golfer, baseball and softball player and a big LSU fan! He was loved by many and always there as a friend and brother. While he struggled with depression for most of his life, he fought tirelessly to overcome and keep a smile on his face.
