There will always be a place in our family that belongs to Vess. We will miss his presence, his laughter, and the familiar words that only came from him, like his favorite saying, “I’m get some skin off you,
” which will forever bring a smile to our faces.
Vess lived with compassion, resilience, and quiet strength. He faced life’s challenges with grace and welcomed everyone with a grateful heart. Through his words, his encouragement, and the love he shared, he gave us memories we will treasure for the
rest of our lives.
His legacy lives in the family he helped shape and the people whose lives he touched. Whether we knew him through his honored Military Service, his years at the Post Office, or the closeness of family and friendship, each of us carries a part of his story;
Together, we will keep those memories alive for generations to come.
As we grieve his absence, we honor Vess by carrying forward the kindness he showed,the love he modeled, and the integrity he lived by. May his memory give us strength in difficult times and bring us joy as we reflect on the years we shared. He will always be
remembered with deep love and respect.
We will forever carry him in our hearts.
