Vincentes’ love for soccer as a child in Mexico, continued here as he was known as the BEST GOALKEEPER in SETX! Every Sunday you would find him at Babes Zaharias Soccer Field, plying his favorite sport! As years went by his love for sports grew as he cheered for the Dallas Cowboys and would attend games in Dallas and Houston cheering on his teams! Vicente never met a stranger and welcomed everyone with open arms and a cold Miller Lite! He had many hobbies such as playing washers on the beach with family and friends, playing Loteria, LCR, and dominoes on weekly family nights with his family. His love for music and dancing made him one of the best dancers at all the “bodas & quinceañeras” He also loved crawfish and spending time with his grandson trying out all the restaurants in SETX. He truly loves his family and it showed with his many stories and life lessons.

He was a member of St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica Church and a member of Men’s ACTS Retreat. Every Sunday after mass he enjoyed lunch with his family. The rule was, no mass no lunch! He loved watching his grandsons, Joshua and Liam, and granddaughter, Micaela amor, play soccer, and his granddaughters, Desiree’ and Alejandra cheer, he was so proud of all of them. His passion for soccer lives on through them. He passed on many of our most favorite sayings, such as “almost don’t count” “don’t be sorry, just don’t let it happen again” or as he would tell us “always on my mind”.
