With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Vincent Antonio McBride, age 31, of Mansfield, Ohio, on October 13, 2026. Born on April 12, 1995, in Mansfield, Ohio, he was the son of Theresa Coomes-Donahue and the late William Samuel McBride. Vincent’s remarkable soul and presence brought light and joy to all who knew him.
Vincent is survived by his significant other, Desiree Bryant and his children, William Aurther McBride, Eli Carson Ray McBride, Jackson Lee Allen Wills, Caleb Henry Allen Wills, Liam Antonio McBride, and Aaron James McBride. He was a devoted father and the love for his children was shown through his pride in watching them grow and thrive. Vince will be deeply missed and remembered by his siblings Victoria Yensen, James Donahue, Aeriel Rhinehart and Desi McCoy Hunt, each of whom shared their own special memories and relationship with him. We find comfort in the many memories Vince gave us and in the legacy of love he leaves behind will be cherished by his nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family, and an abundance of friends. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Vince’s quick wit and radiant smile could light up any room. His humor, warmth, and kindness drew people to him, and his infectious spirit touched a wide circle of friends. He will be remembered for the way he could connect with people on all walks of life and was an example of how to love people for who they are. Vince had his arms open to anyone who needed to be wrapped in love and offered a helping hand as he was a jack of all trades, your typical handy man.
Vince found joy in the intimate moments when life and time was being shared and laughter was created. He had a passion for fishing that was rooted from childhood by his beloved father, who taught him, starting at a very young age, the love for the sport he carried with him throughout his life. His outgoing spirit was fueled by his love for family and friends, with whom he created countless treasured memories.
He walked his life with a flame in his soul that burned bright enough for others to stay warm with him, and strength to continue through battles the toughest warriors would be proud to call their own. Vince’s passing leaves an irreplaceable void, but his spirit will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved him. May he rest in peace.
