Vince Xavier Salinas

Vince Xavier Salinas, age 24, of South Phoenix, Arizona, passed away on February 17, 2026, while at work with Suntech. Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Vince lived a life full of laughter, love, and dedication to the people closest to him.

Vince was the beloved son of Lisa Marie Barreras and Jesse Salinas II and the proud father of his beautiful daughter, Ella Rose Salinas. Vince was a loving and caring father who was excited to become a dad and loved Ella with his entire heart. Becoming a father was one of the greatest joys in his life, and he often spoke about the dreams and plans he had for her future. Though he is no longer here to see them through himself, his family promises to continue carrying those dreams forward so Ella will always know how deeply her father loved her.

Vince built a career in construction with Suntech and took great pride in the work he did. He loved building things and working with his hands, and he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication.

Those who knew Vince will remember him for his humor, his contagious smile, and his ability to make anyone laugh. He had a personality that drew people in, and it didn’t take long for anyone he met to become a friend. Vince was someone who took pride in helping others and being there when people needed him.

Family was everything to Vince. He shared a close bond with his siblings, Jovino, Lisette, Erica, Jazmine, Fabian, and Jacob. He loved spending time with them and cherished the moments they shared together growing up and as adults.

Vince also adored his niece Marylynn and his nephews Alijah, Angel, Ryan, Luciano, Fabian Jr., and baby Moreno. They brought him so much joy, and he loved them deeply. Vince was also very close with his mother and the cousins he grew up with, creating memories that will live on forever in their hearts.

Vince was loved by many and taken far too soon. His laughter, kindness, and unforgettable smile will never be forgotten. Though he may no longer be with us, the love he shared and the memories he created will continue to live on through his family and friends.

We will forever miss his contagious laughter, the joy he brought into every room, and the love he gave so freely. Vince will always hold a piece of our hearts. As a family, we will continue to stand together, support one another, and keep his memory alive.

We love you, Vince. This is not goodbye — it’s until we see you again.
