A Celebration of Life: 5:00 p.m., Thursday, August 27, 2026, Fellowship Baptist Church in Saginaw. All who knew and loved Vince are welcome to gather and honor the remarkable life he lived.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Fellowship Baptist Church (https://fellowshipbaptistsaginaw.churchcenter.com/giving) or that guests bring a potted plant to the Celebration of Life in Vince's memory.

Vince dedicated 22 years of his life to military service, where he served with distinction as a photojournalist. His career allowed him to combine his love of storytelling with his commitment to duty, and he retired with honors, a testament to his professionalism and dedication to his country. That same sense of purpose carried him through every chapter of his life.

On June 13, 2014, Vince married the love of his life, Debbi Gail Warner, and together they built a partnership filled with joy, adventure, and shared passions. The two loved to travel, whether the destination led them to the mountains or the beach. What mattered most was the journey and the company. Vince and Debbi became a beloved duo in their community, especially during the holiday season, when Vince would don the red suit and play Santa Claus with Debbi by his side as Mrs. Claus. Their performances brought smiles to countless faces, and Vince treasured every moment of it.

Vince was, above all, a man who loved to make people laugh and smile. He had a fun-loving spirit and a quick wit, known for sharing humorous observations about life, including his good-natured commentary on the inability of some folks to park big trucks. He was a collector at heart, amassing treasured collections of Happy Meal toys, pins, ballcaps, and Funko Pops. He was an avid fan of anime, cartoons, and graphic novels, embracing his love of comics with pride and enthusiasm.

More than anything, Vince loved sharing his faith. A devout Christian, he lived his beliefs openly and warmly, never missing an opportunity to share the hope and love he found in Christ. His faith was the foundation upon which he built his life, and it sustained him through every season, including the deep sorrow of losing a child. Vince now rests in the arms of his Savior, reunited with those who went before him.

Vince was preceded in death by his son, Benjamin Warner, and his brother, David Warner.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Debbi Gail Warner of Fort Worth; his sons, Daniel Warner, Merlin Warner, and Simon Warner; his sister, Marlene Romine; numerous extended family members and friends whose lives he touched with his generosity and warmth.
