He grew up in Howie Centre before moving with his family to the Mira, a place he treasured, in high school. Known for his ease in connecting with people, Vince valued the friends and family in his life more than anything. He was a beautiful musician, talented athlete, and sincerely good listener. Throughout his life he maintained an easygoing demeanor which touched each person he met; his contagious smile and genuine interest in others afforded him many friends who cared for him deeply. Vince found much joy in his Tuesday night church group, where he very quickly became part of a family; he experienced the power and strength of Jesus’ love and wanted to share that with everyone around him. He believed in eternal life and happiness, and in the beauty and peace that awaits us all after our time on earth. Vincent’s memory lives on in his Mom, Debbie, who always held a special place in his heart; siblings Meaghan, Emily, Alex and Morgan; stepfather, Pat; grandmother, Susie Favaro; a very close extended family and so many friends. Visitation for Vincent will be held at T.W. Curry Parkview Chapel on Saturday, Jan. 18th from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. His funeral service will be at Our Lady of Fatima parish, officiated by Fr. Norman McPhee at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 19th. Memorial donations may be made to Talbot House. Online condolences to www.twcurry.com.
