Brent Lino Botti, age 46, beloved husband of Cynthia Kain Botti of Cheshire, passed away on July 24, 2021. He was in the comfort of his home, surrounded by his family, following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.  Born in Derby on June 26, 1975, he was the devoted son of Jane Danko Botti of Derby and the late Rinaldo “Arnie” Botti.  Brent was raised in Ansonia and was a 1993 graduate of St. Joseph’s High School, Trumbull and then earned his B.A. Degree from Fairfield University in English Literature.  He worked as a real estate broker in the family business, Botti Realty, Inc. of Derby, for over 25 years, as well as working independently on property acquisitions, management and sales.  Throughout his life, Brent appreciated the magic and wonder of all things Disney. Brent and Cindy were married in Walt Disney World on August 2, 2005.  He shared this love with his family during frequent Disney vacations.  He was a talented lacrosse player in high school and college and became a coach in his adult years.  For over 10 years Brent coached lacrosse for the Cheshire Lacrosse Club and was a board member and was named Assistant Vice President of Boy’s Competition at CONNY (Connecticut New York Youth Lacrosse Association), the nation’s largest all volunteer led youth lacrosse organization.  He instilled his passion for lacrosse in his children and forever impacted the lives of the many youths he coached.  A fan of music, he attended numerous concerts and festivals with his wife Cindy and friends.  An avid skier, Brent skied the slopes of Vermont right up to his final days, introducing his children to the sport.  Talented in many trades, Brent transformed several houses into unique homes for his family. He will be long remembered as a fun-loving Dad, for his love of family and  for his ability to make each day memorable.  He is survived by his cherished children, Rocco Rinaldo, Cosimo Ward and Quincy Evelyn; brothers, Brian Botti of Orange; Bruce Botti and  wife Charlotte of Huntington, and his sister Beth Esposito and husband, David of North Haven.  Brent is also survived by nieces and nephews, Madison and Reagan Botti, Teresa and Sam Esposito and Mathew Piscitelli.  A graveside celebration of Brent’s life will take place on Saturday, July 31, 2021 at 10:00 AM in Mount Saint Peter Cemetery, 219 New Haven Avenue, Derby.  Family and friends may call at the Wakelee Memorial Funeral Home, 167 Wakelee Avenue, Ansonia on Wednesday, July 28, 2021, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Botti Children’s Educational Trust Fund (kindly make checks payable to Cynthia Botti) in care of the funeral home.  Online condolences may be made at www.wakeleememorial.com.
