Vincent Walter Heyer

Vincent Walter Heyer passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 80 in San Antonio, Tx, from complications related to dementia . He was born on August 1, 1943 in Detroit, MI to Vincent Albert and Freda Heyer. Vincent is preceded in death by his parents. Vincent is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Barbara J. Heyer; his children Vincent R. Heyer, Kristen Heyer; grandson Brandon Heyer; great-grandson Cooper Heyer and his sister Janice Heyer.

Vincent was born and raised in Detroit. As a Boy Scout, he earned his Eagle Scout medal when he was only 13 years old, one of the youngest in Michigan at the time. He met Barbara when he was 21 and they were married soon thereafter. In 1971, he moved the family to San Antonio and after working a couple of years as a new car salesman, he decided to open his own used car lot, later adding a second location. A few years after that he started his Northside Towing business, which he owned and operated until he officially retired.

Vincent was a do-it-yourself kind of guy and he could literally fix anything. He even built the family home they lived in for over 25 years. He enjoyed different hobbies throughout the years including racing cars and motorcycles, hunting, and fishing. He was an avid golfer his entire life and enjoyed playing frequently with his wife Barbara and their friends. He was a loving husband and an exceptional father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was a very kind-hearted man who will be greatly missed.

No service or memorial will be held, but he will be cremated and interred at Sunset Memorial Park at 1701 Austin Hwy, San Antonio, TX 78218. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to the Alzheimer’s Association.
