Vince Allen Spears, age 63, passed away on June 3, 2025. He was born on July 5, 1961, in Chicago, Illinois, to the late Allen James Spears and Melia Oneda Stephens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though disabled for much of his life, Vince lived with a strong spirit and a love for the simple joys that brought him comfort. He especially loved his truck, often asking the nursing home administrator to start it up and take it for a ride. He was also a devoted fan of The Andy Griffith Show, capable of recalling every episode from beginning to end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Family meant everything to Vince. He was lovingly raised by his grandparents, Elsie Mae and Hershel Stephens, and held a special place in his heart for them, particularly his grandmother.<\/span><\/p>\n

Graveside services will be held on Thursday, June 5, beginning at 1:00 PM at the Stephens Cemetery in Linden, TN.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Spears is survived by his brother, Eric Spears; sister, Debbie Spears; nephew, Richard Lee McNabb; nephew, Roy Daniel Hinson; niece, Amanda Beth Robinson; and niece, Shelby Spears Jackovich.<\/span><\/p>\n
