Vincent Deens Sparacino, 27, of Hanover, PA entered into God's gentle care Saturday, October 3rd at Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA. Born on December 15th, 1987 in Suffolk, Virginia, he was the beloved son of Richard and Cynthia (Deens) Sparacino and devoted brother and friend to Stephanie and Victoria Sparacino. A bright and passionate man, he had a creative mind with a talent for art and technical drawing and earned his Bachelor's degree in Graphics Design at York College of PA. After acquiring employment as an Estimator/AutoCAD designer in the telecommunications industry in Pittsburg, PA, he met his partner in love, Megan Reilly. Vince had a vibrant energy that resonated with everyone he met, and was loved by all who knew him. He could make you smile even during life's hardest struggles. He had a love for drawing, writing, poetry, playing and composing music; and as an Eagle Boy Scout, a special connection to all things in nature and animals, especially to his dog, Bob. Vince was many beautiful things, but simply, he was the man who gave a helpless stranger his coat on a cold night, and a man that would drop everything to help a friend in need. He brought joy to many lives and his passion for life and unconditional love of all people will be deeply missed. If you were one of the many who was touched by this warm-hearted man, please join us in a celebration of his life. A service to celebrate and remember Vincent's life will be held 2 PM, Sunday, October 11, 2015 at the Kenworthy Funeral Home, Inc., 269 Frederick Street, Hanover, PA. Burial will be in St. Paul's Dubs Church Cemetery, Hanover, PA. Viewings and times to share memories with the family will be held Saturday October 10, 2015 at the funeral home from 2-4 PM and 6-8 PM. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to St. Jude's Children Hospital, 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or the charity of your choice. The Kenworthy Funeral Home, Inc., is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.

I am truly sorry to hear about Vince's death. I remember Vince during high school. He was in my homeroom for 4 years and one thing I will never forget about him is that he always brought a smile to my face with his great sense of humor. I am truly sad to hear that such an intelligent/loving guy is no longer with us. May his soul rest in peace. We will never forget you, Vince.

I just learned of Vincent's tragic passing. I am deeply saddened as my memories of his energy in the room was of a sensitive, gentle, incredibly good young man, artistic, eccentric & I adored him & he brightened every room with his smile. What I remember most about Vincent is the way he made me feel. Rare are the extraordinary ones who leave us feeling better about ourselves; Vincent always did.
With warmest hugs, deep sympathy, and love for this wonderful family, I am so sorry, Rick & Cindy <3

Cindy and family,
I met your through my sister, Joye Kaufman. I can only share words by Thornton Wilder --- "...all that we can know about those we have loved and lost is that they would wish us to remember them with a more intensified realization of their reality. What is essential does not die but clarifies. The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude." You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sandra Self, Augusta GA

I thought we had so much more time to spend together. I spoke highly of him to my friends and family and regret that I had not yet been able to introduce him to my tribe. He was a rare person who you could trust instantly and never worry that he would take advantage of you. Even when things were going haywire and fun was not being had we were able to bond in a meaningful way.

It was a pleasure and an honor to meet and briefly know this fine young man. This man had Honor, I spent 41 years with the Military, and Vincent impressed me the first time I met him when he asked my permission to date my daughter......you just don't see that today. I am deeply saddened that Maggie and the world will miss this fine young man. I would have gladly walked my daughter down the aisle to his waiting arms.

Cindy, Rick, Stephanie, and Tory, We are so sorry for your loss. Words just don't do it. Vince was a wonderful, caring, son, brother, and friend. It's been a while since the Bennett's and the Sparacino families have gotten together but we do have such great memories of the old days. The crazy Easter egg hunts back in Bowie, Md with all the kids seems like yesterday. Vince had such a great smile even if he got the eggs with the melted chocolate candy inside. He truly loved life and will be greatly missed. He is up in heaven now living the dream and we will all see him again! Love and prayers always, Carol, Gene, Virginia, Andrew, Brian, and Patrick Bennett

We were deeply saddened to learn about Vince. Words cannot express what we feel, from one parent to another. As parents, we do everything we can for our children, and then send them out in the world and hope everything turns out well for them. Times like this put our belief that everything happens for a reason, and our faith, to the test. Vince did touch many lives and we hope all your memories are good ones.Our thoughts and prayers are with The Sparacino family. Stay strong and if you need anything at all, feel free to reach out to us. We cherish our friendship with your family.
