Vincent Ellington Obituary

Vincent Ray Ellington, 64, of Guyton, Georgia, passed away on Monday, July 7, 2025.

Vincent will be missed by his wife of 45 years, Brenda W. Ellington; daughter, Tara Canzon (Ken); granddaughters, Kayden Canzon and Sydney Canzon; mother, Carol Anderson; brothers, Verdie Ellington (Debbie) and Vernon Ellington (Suzie); several nieces, nephews, and his grand-pup, Weston.

He was born in Savannah, Georgia and was preceded in death by his father, Harry H. Ellington and his sister, Venita Medders. He retired after many years of service from Kraton International as a senior operator. He enjoyed visiting with his neighbors and riding his golf cart, but nothing brought him more joy than the time he spent with his grandkids every Friday-they brought him so much joy. He will be remembered for never meeting a stranger and doing anything he could to help you. He will be missed by friends, family, and all of his great neighbors.

The visitation will be on Monday, July 14, 2025 from 12 noon until 1 p.m. at the funeral home. The funeral to honor Vincent's life will follow at 1 p.m. in the chapel of the funeral home with burial to follow at Forest Lawn Memory Gardens.
