Carl Lee Vincent, Sr, age 73 of Glasgow, Kentucky passed away on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Carl was born on August 30, 1951 in Cleveland, OH to the late Eldon Vincent and Emma Wadsworth Vincent. Carl was a retired mechanic foreman with the City of Cleveland, a Mason since 1973, he was a member of Temple Lodge #28, a Shriner, Knights Templar and a KY Colonel. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a son, Eldon Thomas Vincent, siblings, Floyd Redd, Kenneth Redd and Shirley Vincent.
Carl was always known for a slanted brow, sarcastic comment, and an immense pride and love for his family. He always made himself available in times of need, whether good or bad, for those he loved. Always thoughtful, whether through phone calls, shared videos, Christmas gifting or picking up snacks at the store for the ones he often thought of. A man that loved Cleveland Browns football, feeding animals, bird watching, old school country music, Lincoln Town Cars and being Mr. Fix It. Always being one to teach that the struggles in life are real and definite but there are always a way to work through them and that standing your ground was important.
