Vincent Marra Obituary

Vince Marra, our brother and friend to many, passed away August 11, 2018. Vince was born March 2nd 1960 in the Bronx, NY to Ralph and Theresa Marra. In 1966, the family moved to Las vegas, where Vince graduated from Valley High School in 1977. Vince's passion was cooking, and he started his culinary career at the Silver City Casino. He later became a chef at DiMartino's Italian Restaurant (both in Las Vegas and Hawaii) and at Big Al and Eddie's, which was located across from UNLV.

Vince had a big heart and was always ready to help anyone who asked, be it family or friend. He was also a great storyteller and loved a good joke. We are sure that he is now cooking up a great meal and telling a good story or joke to his parents, older brother Ralph, and many other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends that have preceded him.

Vince is survived by his sister, Terry (Roland) Eckhart, sister Toni Marra, brother, John (Debi) Marra, and many other relatives and friends.

Memorial Services will be held on Saturday, September 1, 2018 at 1pm at Palm Mortuary, 7600 S Eastern Ave, Las Vegas NV 89123, with burial immediately following. Vince, we will miss you so much, but we know you are now healthy and happy surrounded by love, family and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Vince when he worked at Di Martino's in Hawaii and Las Vegas. Getting around in his old Chevy Blazer was a constant challenge but he was always at hand to help whenever Terese or I ask his help. His laughter and joy for life will last in the hearts and minds of all who came into his life.

Dearest Toni and family,
I send my heartfelt condolences on your loss.
Vince left this world too soon and that makes his passing all the more difficult.
Try to cling to the good memories that you have of him and hold tight to one another.
Please know I am "holding you up in the light".
