Paul J
Vincent
May 19, 1960 — Nov 28, 2025
Paul James "Skip" Vincent Jr., age 65, of Wellsville, OH. Passed away on November 28th, 2025
surrounded by his family, leaving behind a legacy as bold, loud, and unforgettable as he was.
Anyone lucky enough to cross paths with him walked away with a story — and usually a laugh.
Born on May 19th, 1960, the son of the late Paul and Ardis Vincent. Skip graduated from
Beaver Local High School in Lisbon, OH. With the class of 1978.
He is survived by his loving wife, Karen Vincent, of Wellsville; He leaves behind two daughters
who meant everything to him, Heather (David) Eck and Chelsea Baker; and the grandchildren
who are absolutely the light of his life — Adriel Baker, Brantley Eck, and Kali and Kai
Mauzzy. Skip also leaves behind his sister, Tracey (Will) Allison, and two nieces Taylor and
Nicole, all of whom adored him.
Skip lived life the way most people only dream about —wide open, full throttle, and without
apology. A man of adventure, he skydived, tore up the drag strip, and found freedom on two
wheels whenever he could. He loved the rumble of a motorcycle, the rush of speed, and the
kind of moments that made your heart pound. If it involved adrenaline he was there, grinning
ear to ear.
A proud Teamster driver with local 341, Skip worked hard, showed up for people, and built
bonds with co-workers who became family. He was the kind of man who'd help anyone —
whether he knew you or not. He never met a stranger in his life; he could turn a grocery store
line, a parking lot, or a gas pump stop into a new friendship. His conversations were legendary,
filled with sarcasm, charm, and the kind of wit that could stop you in your tracks. If there was a
way to make someone laugh, Skip found it. If there was a stubborn argument to be had, he'd
win it — and then still crack a joke to make you smile.
Skip's circle included brothers made by choice — men who stood by him through life's wild
rides, shared too many late-night laughs to count, and created stories that could fill a lifetime.
And if you knew Skip, you can picture him perfectly: leaning back, smirking that sideways grin,
telling a story so outrageous only he could pull it off, and getting a whole room laughing
whether they wanted to or not. He had a way of making people feel like they were part of
something bigger just by being in the room with him.
Visitation will be held from 5PM-7PM on Monday, December 1, 2025 at the Martin Chapel of Care Funeral & Cremation Specialists in Calcutta (Martin MacLean Altmeyer) 15872 St Clair Avenue, Calcutta, OH 43920. The service will follow at 7PM. Dinner will be held at the same location during the service.
Though his life on earth has ended, Skip's stories, his laughter, and the impact he had on
everyone he met will live on for generations. He was one of a kind — the kind you can't
replace.
Until we meet again, "Drive Fast — Take Chances!"
