Vito Franz Flores at the age of 77 died after a courageous battle with cancer, he went home to Jesus peacefully with his loved ones by his side on November 12, 2023, at his home in Ashburn, Virginia.

Vito was born to Vito Flores Sr. and Cerafina Parra on July 24, 1946 in La Paz, Bolivia.

Vito was the oldest of two children. A son of a military doctor, he traveled all over Bolivia, ultimately planting roots in Cochabamba where he would go on to meet his first wife Julieta Zambrana. They were married in 1969 and together had 6 children, 1 of which died as an infant. In 1988, they embarked on a journey to build and provide a better life of opportunities for their children and moved to Virginia. They were married for 18 years before divorcing and remaining good friends until his last days. Vito went on to find love again when he met Martha Irene 12 years ago and from then on shared a wonderful life, until his passing.

During his life he held a number of professions, a hard worker, who was dedicated and passionate enough to achieve the American dream only 9 years after arriving in America. He bought his first home in 1997 and shortly thereafter purchased "Amigo Market". A local latin american store in the heart of Fairfax County. A true friend, Vito was always surrounded by many who loved him and respected him. His loving character and welcoming smile was of comfort to many.
