James “Vinnie” Vincent

James dedicated many years of service to Emergency One in Ocala, FL Carmate, and the Boilermakers Union Local 154, showcasing his strong work ethic and commitment to his craft of welding. Known for his love of motors, especially his Harleys, James found great joy in riding with his close, longtime friends, sharing the open road and the camaraderie that came with it.

Family was the cornerstone of James’s life. He is survived by his loving wife, Karen (Ziemba) Vincent; his children, Jessica Vincent (Benjamin and Matthew Kysor), Jacob Vincent (Athena Reilly, Jayce Vincent, Kyrielle Bailey, and Liam Bailey), Adam Vincent (EraLynn Miller, Elliott, and Eli Vincent), and Jaime Vincent. He was a soft-hearted grandfather who cherished his time with his grandchildren, each of whom added a profound joy to his life.

James was preceded in death by his parents, Ruth Leona and Frederick “Gene” Vincent; his sister, Rebecca Vincent; and his first wife, Vicki Vincent.

A memorial run with his sons and close friends will honor James’s life and passion for motorcycles. He will be laid to rest at Mt. Collins in Tionesta, PA, where friends and family can visit and reminisce about the many journeys they shared with him.

A later date for celebration of life will be announced.
