Mr. Robert Wayne Vincent Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Robert Wayne Vincent 02-27-1937 to 12-11-2020 With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Robert “Wayne” Vincent of Dallas, Georgia. Wayne was born on 02-27-1937 to his proud parents Mrs. Lucille Walden Vincent and Mr. Robert Merrill Vincent (formerly of College Park, Georgia). Wayne was never at a loss for words regarding his love for his family and his adventures growing up. One of his greatest joys in his life was his loving sister Mrs. Christine Vincent Edwards. At the mention of his parents, his youth, or his sister Christine, he immediately smiled, his eyes brightened, and a story unfolded. There was no doubt of the love and appreciation he had for his hard-working parents and loving sister. Even at the end of his long battle with Dementia, he would proudly recall his sister and their childhoods and the wonderful times they shared throughout life. Wayne attended North Clayton High School where he was an avid football player. He loved those days. To this day, we have football programs and memorabilia from his high school days. His love for football continued and later he became a referee for youth football programs. Wayne was a proud Veteran and served in the United States Army and later joined the Georgia National Guard. He was stationed in Germany and stories from this era of his life continued even into his last months of life. When his memory was failing, or the cloud of Dementia frustrated him; one could ask him about Germany, and he would relax, and the floodgates would open with story after story. He loved his country and proudly wore the title of Veteran. Wayne was an avid runner and participated in the Peachtree Road Race for many years and would always cross the finish line with his hands raised in thanks and praise to God. He loved those shirts and pictures from the races. He also ran locally at many races and placed tops in his age division. He loved running and spending time outdoors every chance he could. He also enjoyed hunting with his sons Eric and David. Wayne met his loving bride of 59 years, Myra Anna Lindsey, while working at Gulf Oil in Atlanta. He always said, “She was the prettiest sight I’d ever seen”. Their love was golden and evident even in their last days when he would go to her bedside, pat her arm, softly speak to her, and hold her hand. Dementia could not overshadow their bond and love. They were always together and concerned for the other. This held true even in the end. Myra preceded Wayne in death by 3 weeks. Wayne was a kind, Christian gentleman. He loved God and his various church families over the years. He and Myra were faithful in attendance and giving throughout their lives. Wayne was a faithful Sunday School Teacher, Choir member and completed many Mission Trips including ones to help build churches on various Indian Reservations He and Myra conducted Sunday School for many years at Brian Center Nursing Home in Austell, Ga. He would also fondly recall the many church trips he and Myra had taken over the years to various places across the US. Church worship and fellowship was so important to him that he insisted on attending even well after his physical disabilities overcame him. Of all his joys, adventures, and accomplishments, being a Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather were his greatest. He was a Father anyone would love to have. He embraced the titles of Father, Husband and Provider and excelled in every aspect. He held a special relationship with all 3 of his children and never waivered in his love or devotion to his family. He was a father that was present and available in all walks of their lives and forever will be held in highest regards and missed dearly. The stories of his compassion and caring go from him telling of his love for his “Baby Girl Moni” to the adventures, proud moments, and antics with his two sons Eric and David. Each had a special bond and a special place in his heart. Being a proud Grandfather and Great Grandfather was also high on his list of “bests”. He was uniquely gifted with the ability to make anyone feel special and this was never truer than when he was with one of them. May each precious memory and treasured moment be engraved in their hearts and minds, always remembering, and emulating his love for each of them and his love for God. Heaven rejoices and the angels are singing as Wayne has now entered the courts of heaven and suffers no more memory loss or pain. He is now renewed and whole, worshiping his Savior. We are consoled by knowing we will see him again one day. Wayne was preceded in death by his loving wife Myra Lindsey Vincent. Parents Mrs. Lucille and Mr. Robert Merrill Vincent. Numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and friends. He is survived by Daughter Moni Vincent Hendrix (J.D.), Son Eric Vincent (Sandy), and Son David Vincent (Kim).
