YOUNGSTOWN -- Vincent P. Vega, 55, passed away Wednesday, May 18, 2022, after a long battle with muscular dystrophy.
He was born Feb. 28, 1967, in Youngstown, a son of the late Albert L. and Pamela J. Wilkie Vega, grandson of the late Nicholas and Dorothy Saker Alexander.
Vince was a 1985 graduate of Chaney High School and received an associate degree in electrical engineering from ITT Technical Institute. He retired as a press operator from GM Lordstown.
Vince was an avid Miami Dolphins fan and would often refer to football as his "first love." If you ever needed help with your fantasy football lineup, Vinnie was your guy -- winning several Fantasy Football leagues each year. He enjoyed collecting sports cards and Roberto Clemente memorabilia.
Vince is survived by his daughter, Cassandra Vega of New York City, N.Y.; a brother, David (Colleen) Vega of Austintown; a niece, Jacqueline Vega; a nephew, David Vega Jr.; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Family and friends may call from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, May 20, 2022, and from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 21, 2022, at Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel. A funeral service will follow at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the funeral home.
