Nicon Andritsakis passed away suddenly on August 8, 2022, at the age of 83. A native of Sparta, Greece, he was born February 1, 1939 to George and Panayiota Andritsakis. Growing up in Greece herding sheep in the mountains of Laconia, he also never stopped learning and was always at the top of his class. Nicon immigrated to the United States in 1965, making his permanent home in Layton, Utah. In 1978, he returned to Greece and married Despina Niavis, and together they came back to the United States to start their new life together, where they had one son.
Nicon was a very skilled architect and contractor, building homes, restaurants, and commercial buildings for over 40 years before he retired. His work ethic, honesty, and fairness earned him the respect of many throughout the Wasatch Front.
