He was a lifelong resident of Vinton. He worked as a welder for over 50 years and retired from Westlake Chemical North Plant. Kenneth cherished his Catholic faith and was a lifelong and faithful parishioner of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Vinton.
Kenneth spent many days at the Gray Estate Ranch trapping alligators and enjoying God's country. He was an avid reader and knew the name of every plant, tree, blade of grass in the marsh. Kenneth was always known as a hardworking and generous man who would give you the shirt off his back! He enjoyed being in the woods, hunting, target shooting, and drinking coffee every morning at Glenn's Mart. The thing he cherished most was his grandchildren and spending time with his friends.
Those left to cherish his memory are his two daughters, Natalie Vincent East and husband, Scott of Vinton, Penny Vincent Borel of Vinton; his brother, J.L. Vincent and wife, Peggy of Vinton; his sister, Carolyn Whitaker and husband, Carroll of Lumberton, TX; his grandchildren, Brookelynn, Logan, Roman, Hailey, Heidi, Hannah, and Reece; his great-grandchildren, R.J., Maddilyn, Gauge, and Ella; and a host of extended family and friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Yule Vincent & Lula Mae Vincent Young; his brother, Rickey Vincent; his grandson, Gavin Benoit.
