JOSEPH GENE EUDE (JOHN) VINCENT March 24, 1932 - May 26, 2018 Born in Montreal to Albani and Rose Vincent, he was the only boy amongst five adoring sisters. He grew up in a home filled with love and Godly devotion until 1954 when he married Virginia Holland. For the next 63 years they were inseparable. In 1957 their son Keenan was born, and their daughter Giselle followed in 1958. Giselle gave John and Virginia two grandsons and two granddaughters. Sadly, in 1987 at 29 years, Giselle died taking a piece of John's heart with her. A precious relationship with the grandchildren, Joel, Jesse, Justine and Janine was forged over the next 30 years. As a lifelong servant of Jehovah God, he inspired countless people across Canada with his encouraging and dynamic style. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 9 at 2:00 p.m. at Lakewood Kingdom Hall Centre, 227 Lakewood Blvd. Please join us to reflect on a life well lived.

Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

  • John was my grandpa. He was THE most incredible man I have ever known. He holds a place in my heart that no other human will ever take. I don't know how I was blessed with the most amazing grandpa and grandma, but I'm sure glad I was. My grandpa was my best friend. I'm missing him and my grandma so much tonight. I can't wait to hug him again, hear his laugh, and hear all his stories over and over again. I so badly wish he got to meet my 2nd husband, and to meet/ hold my 2 sons. Soon enough, he will. Miss you grandpa. Janine aka Barnabette - Posted by: Janine (Granddaughter) on: Jun 18, 2025

  • So sorry to hear about the loss of your dear father Keenan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family. To me John was one of those men that you felt would always be a part of the congregation. He not only gave me and other very helpful spiritual council but also made me laugh with his illustrations and his use of words to draw you to the point he was making, like 'stick handling like Jean Beliveau' and then asking 'can you stick handle your way out of a serious bible question using the scriptures like my man Jean?' John was a jewel of a man and that's why we will miss him so much. Lots of love and thoughts of better days ahead. How good it will be to see him again. - Posted by: Larry Caruk (Friend and brother) on: Jun 07, 2018

  • How very sad to hear of John's death ..My heart feels for you at this difficult time...John was dear to me as when I first came into the truth he taught me that the ministry was a gift and priority...He made it fun the way it should be. He loved it and showed it and he shared it ..and for that I am so grateful ..Still to this day I bring his name up and speak of the great times we spent together in the service..Next to Jehovah was the love of his wife and family and he put that love into action ..You were all the apple of his eye ..so naturally you will miss him greatly as will, so many others. He was one of a kind!! Patricia sends her condolences along with myself. Gord. - Posted by: Gord Evans Jr. (friend) on: Jun 07, 2018

  • When we think of John, warm memories come to mind of a man who truly loved Jehovah, his Wife, his complete family and those of us in his spiritual family. His many letters, notes and words of encouragement were greatly appreciated and fondly remembered. We look forward to a wonderful future shared with John. - Posted by: John and Susan Hole (Friends) on: Jun 06, 2018

  • To Keenan & family. We will also John , being neighbors with John & Virginia, we got to know them well . We were literally 10 feet from them at the condo . We shared many happy times and a few not . One winter there was a storm, & the meeting was canceled. John rings me up and asked if we wanted to come over and do the Watchtower study. What a great morning we had . Giving them rides to the meeting later on in there years was also our privilege. We will miss him dearly. - Posted by: Slobodzian Tom (Friend) on: Jun 06, 2018

  • To Keenan and John's sisters: What a character he was! One of a kind. As they say, they broke the mold when he was made. Always ready with a smile and a handshake and always also a Scripture. Humble to the core and yet a spiritual strongman. Never wavered in his faith in spite of his troubles. He will be missed. I will miss seeing him on my next trip to Winnipeg. Jehovah's blessing on all of you and your families. Your brother, Vaughn Ford Aldergrove, BC - Posted by: Vaughn Ford (Brother in the faith) on: Jun 02, 2018

  • Such a loving brother! The span of our life can be 80 years if we are strong but our years come to an end like a whisper, and away we fly. Jehovah's promise of a resurrection can sustain us and when the pain passes, your memories will bring comfort. - Posted by: Harry and Ada Hall (Friends in the truth) on: Jun 02, 2018
