Mirko Ivanovich, 93 of Westmont, at rest July 29, 2024. Beloved husband of Davorka (nee Bogdanovic); loving father of Diane Rose, Donald Mark (Christina Lanese) and Jennifer Mira (Branden Adams); loving grandfather of Lucija Mila and Ileana Lyda Adams; brother-in-law of Anda Ivanovic; fond uncle of Lucija Matkovic and Damir Ivanovic.

Born in rural Croatia between World Wars I & II, Mirko surmounted many challenges growing up in a poor, war-torn country. He was the youngest of 11 children in his family. Mirko first immigrated to France and eventually to the United States of America in 1961, where he met his wife of 58 years, Davorka.

He worked with dedication as a tailor for Hart, Schaffner & Marx for 34 years. Fittingly, he was always well-dressed and paid close attention to quality and detail. As a father, he led by example, instilling values of hard work and prioritizing family. Mirko was stoic, stable and notably witty as was often witnessed at the family dinner table, resulting in tears of laughter.

Upon his retirement, he enjoyed watching birds and other wildlife, caring for his garden and property, construing resourceful repairs to whatever was broken and maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. He was an active participant in the Croatian American Community and held his faith in God close to his heart, until his dying day.
