It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Marko Niketic, age 17, of Glenview, IL. Marko departed from us on Sunday evening, May 12, 2024. Born on July 6, 2006, in Park Ridge, IL, he was the beloved son of Gordana and Nebojsa Niketic, loving brother of Luka, cherished grandson of Radojka Sulejic (the late Milorad), and Stanko Niketic, dear nephew of Donna (Dalibor) Mijatovic, Milovan Niketic, and Zorica Niketic, and cousin of Milorad, Mateja, Mia, Eva, Anastasia, and Ksenija.
Marko was a vibrant member of our community, involved in our Soko folklore group. His presence brought joy and enthusiasm to all who knew him.

He will be dearly missed by all of his Kumovi, family, and friends in the United States and in Serbia.
