Vincent Laino

Vincent Anthony Laino (Vinnie) passed away unexpectedly on September 10th, 2025. He was only 38 years old, born on December 26th, 1986, and residing in Zion Illinois. He is survived by his mother Gina M. Laino; his uncles, Daniel Laino and Gerald (Butch) Bundgard; and his cousin Annie Genovese. Vincent was preceded in death by his beautiful aunt, Maryeve (Laino) Bundgard; great great aunt, Katherine Hurry, and grandmother, Jean (Fitzgerald) Laino.

He graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Parkside, Kenosha, WI in 2018 with a B.A. in Management Information Systems, and honors in Beta Gamma Sigma International Honor Society for Collegiate Schools of Business, Dean's List, Provost’s List and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. He worked at Medline as a Business Analyst, where he was extremely happy and successful.

He loved learning about all sorts of things and often spent his spare time researching quirky topics of interest. He enjoyed all kinds of music and had a talent for finding new artists and playing lots of unique songs. He used to enjoy making his own tracks and beats and said he was going to find time to start creating again. He followed several artists on You Tube and always kept up with the latest equipment. Vinnie loved gaming, especially Call of Duty but often accused his computer of cheating! He loved watching sports, especially football and was excited when the season started, and he could order his buffalo wings and start placing bets on his favorite teams.

He always smelled good and had specific fragrances for the different seasons of the year. He spent time researching what ingredients went well with other ingredients creating the best scents—-How top notes, mid notes and base note combinations worked together. He often spent hundreds of dollars on expensive colognes and candles, and people were always trying to hug or nuzzle him to get a whiff. He was happiest though spending time with his family and friends and just being together. He loved a good joke, silliness, to laugh and have fun. Also, drinking Spotted Cow beer, a good Old Fashion and Crown Royal Apple with lemonade. There are no words to express the loss our family is feeling. He was our Vinster and will be forever missed.
