In Loving Memory Of
December 10, 2004 – August 22, 2026
Giovanni Pietro Bollettieri passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, August 22, 2026 in Gainesville, Florida. Giovanni was the beloved son of Cindi (Eaton) Bollettieri and the late Nicholas “Nick” Bollettieri of Bradenton, Florida.
Gio’s life story, while brief, was packed with immense love, joy and adventure. A word many used to describe him since he was a little boy is “extraordinary”… and, indeed he was.
The moments we shared with Gio are the treasures we'll carry always.
