Victor Zirlott

Victor (age 71) of West Fowl River passed this life peacefully at his home, surrounded by family, after a short illness. He was devoted to his wife Patricia of 52 years as well as to his large family. All of which he was very proud.

Victor is preceded in death by his father Robert Ellis Zirlott, his mother Laurice Gray, step father Lavern Gray, daughter Jessica Zirlott Rhodes, grandson Quinton Zirlott and nephew Richard Zirlott.

Victor is survived by his wife Patricia Johnson Zirlott, brother Chris(Judy) Zirlott, sisters Wanda(Kenny) Zirlott, Carmen Zirlott, Kim Zirlott, sons Simon(Lori) Zirlott ,Jeremy(Kim) Zirlott, daughters Rebecca(Troy) Cornelius), Kate (Jeromy) Brinkman, Susan(Derek) Wainwright, twelve grandchildren, one great granddaughter and a great grandson soon to make his appearance. Also many nieces, nephews and other relatives.

Victor was a life long commercial fisherman, wooden boatbuilder and a seafood distributor.

Most days Victor could be found on one of his hand crafted boats running crab traps in Portersville Bay and Mississippi Sound. When not catching seafood, he was helping in his family based river front seafood business, Zirlott’s Gulf Products. Many people far and wide have enjoyed the blessings of the sea produced by Victor and family.

He was hardworking, stubbornly independent yet generous and humble as he patterned his life according to the verse below. He will be missed by many.

Micah 6:8

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee; but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God
