Thomas (Tom) Lynn Vincent, 78, of Lincoln passed away Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at the Decatur Memorial Hospital, with daughter by his side.

A Celebration of Tom’s life will be held Sunday, October 26th 2025 from 11-2 as a potluck/open house style at Madigan State Park South Annex.

Thomas Lynn Vincent was born on August 21, 1947 in Lincoln at St. Clara’s Hospital the son of Vestie Clifford and Ruby D. (Cummings) Vincent.

Surviving is his daughter: Hayley Vincent (Travis Boward), grandchildren: Ender Boward and Corran Boward. Three sisters: Phyllis Druien, Jo Ann Leininger, Norma (LaVerne) Turner. Several nieces and nephews also survive.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Step Father Sam Garcia, first wife: Pamela Vincent, Step sons: Chris and Jay Lambert, two brothers: Curtis Vincent and Marvin (Judy) Vincent.

Tom was the Uncle Tom everyone knew and loved. He never had a lot but he did have a heart of gold. Caring with a gentle soul he would give what he could to help and comfort others when asked. The world will not be the same without his wit that could make you laugh till you cried. Everyone was instantly happier in his presence.

Tom enjoyed bicycling, restoring motorcycles and classic cars. He had a natural talent for drawing. He could always beat you at a hand of cards. Tom retired from Garland Gehrke Trucking after 17 plus years. He had also worked at Lehn and Fink in Lincoln for many years.

Memorials may be made to his family.
