Vince was born on June 27, 1959 to parents Jerry and Judy Patton (Rees) of Dawson, IL. He is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Brenda Patton (Fry), and their five children; Aaron Patton (Marie) of Petersburg, TJ Bestudik of Mechanicsburg, Nick Bestudik (Leah) of Mechanicsburg, Jessie Patton of Mechanicsburg and Jenny Patton of Buffalo as well as six grandchildren; Aurora, Emily, Conor, Lyla, Wade, and Whitley. He is also survived by his mother, Judy, and three siblings; Melanie (Donald), Mark, and Todd (Pam). He is preceded in death by his father, Jerry Patton.
A simple, hardworking man, Vince loved music, working with his hands, and his motley crew of rescues. He was happiest with a guitar in his hands and his dogs at his feet. Those that knew him well should find comfort in the fact that he was stubborn and full of it until the very end.
Per his request, no formal services will be held. Donations in his honor may be made to the Animal Protective League at 1001 Taintor Road, Springfield, IL 62702 or online at http://www.apl-shelter.org.
