It's been a year and I still miss you so very much. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I see your picture and that infectious smile. I miss your laughter and teasing. There is so much that I want to say to you and am sorry that I will never get the chance. The hole in my heart can never be filled as you took it with you. I love you my sweet baby boy.

It's been too long Vincent. I miss you so deeply, I feel like a piece of me is missing. I would do anything to hear you laugh again. I listen to the last voice mail you left me over, and over, and over. I'll never forget V. I hope you hear me, I talk to you every day. I have a picture of you on my desk at work, with the caption "You changed my life. Thanks." You're always with me, I love you. <3

I will never forget all the wonderful times I got to spend with Vince over the years. He was such a lively goof, so much fun to be around. I have so many wonderful memories with him and I am so thankful I got to spend that time with him as my friend. To Charlie, Cindi, Dustin, Adam, Jeremy, and Zoey- Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Please know that Vince constantly talked about his family. For years, everytime we spoke he would always bring up great things about you guys. Thank you for helping shape the wonderful person he became. Vince may be gone, but he is never forgotten.

Vince, we met way back in the day at one of the family's pig roasts, and from then on everything was good and gravy. You were one hell of a person and someday we will meet again, this I am sure of. Rest in peace and say hello to my sister for me.

Vince,
I miss you so much man. It seems like just yesterday we were in high school hanging out at your parents house by the pool or playing frisbee golf. It feels like i could just walk into cowtown and we would be working together again. Every time i clock in at chipotle I find myself looking around expecting to see your never ending smile. When we lived together we got to spend alot of time hanging out and i will never forget the fun times we had. We worked hard and we played hard and I wouldn't trade that year for anything. I was at Byrnes the other night with Jeremy and the night before that I was there with Adam. One thing that stuck out in my mind as I sat and talked with them reminiscing about you was just how much all the Hackney boys are alike. Not only in looks but in your mannerisms and sense of humor. I told Jeremy that hanging out with him and Adam made me feel for a split second that we were kickin it again and it made me so happy. Even though you are gone I see you in your brothers, and as long as they are around I will still have a little piece of my friend Vince. I know I will see you again one day and we will both eat 15 bowls of cereal, watch an OSU game and drink a beer together.I love you man and I will forever miss you.

My dear nephew... so many memories of you. Chubby sweet little baby who became a strong willed little boy who never wanted to take a bath. That all changed when girls became interesting. :-) You grew into such a strong, handsome & good natured young man. I fondly remember last Thanksgiving having a great conversation with you about your plans for the future. I am so proud to have been your aunt. You will be missed forever. I love you.

Holly Hackney

December 8, 2010

I still just feel like I'm in one of those bad dreams you can't seem to wake up from. I haven't comprehended that I'll never see you again. It feels so wrong to say that. I keep waiting for it to register, but it doesn't. If you're really gone how is it that life just keeps right on moving along the same as it ever did??? It seems like time should stop so we can figure out how to go back and change this...I can't bring myself to say goodbye to you or RIP or any of that, because it stabs me like a knife to see your goodbyes & RIP's in print or to hear them said out loud. What I will say is I love you and miss you very much. More than anything I hope it's nice where you are and your soul is at peace. And I'm sure it is because somehow I can feel you all around me now & that gives me some peace
<3 -H-

For so many years you were just one of the many annoying boys on our street :) But as we grew up, and it became cool to have friends of the opposite sex there you were, an instant obvious friend. I still think one of the best times Hannah, Carly and I had trick-or-treating was when you accompanied us dress as a girl. You were always so loving and caring and I will never forget the way you looked after me when Luke died. Thank you for being such a good friend to us all, thank you for always making me laugh, and for giving the very best hugs. With love.

December 8, 2010

Vince,
You will be missed everyday. You were an amazing person who always brought a smile to peoples faces. Thoughts and prayers go out to the Hackney family during this difficult time.

For a significant part of my life, the Hackney boys were my brothers, and Vince was my younger, ornery brother. I was so happy and blessed to see you, Vince, just a few weeks ago after years of only hearing about you as you spent summers with my sister and friends. I walked away happy to see the man you had become. I will finally concede that you spell your middle name the right way. Rest easy knowing you're missed by many. My heart goes out to the Hackneys.
