Vincent Lyons Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 24, 2025.
Vincent Lyons passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on July 17th, 2025. He was born on July 25, 1934 in Toledo, Ohio. He was preceded in death by the love of his life Melinda (Lolly) Lyons. He proudly served in the U.S. Army and reserves from 1957 - 1963. He retired from Ohio Bell after 38 years' service and then owned Seligman Bros. Record Bar with Lolly.

He was kind and unassuming. He loved to laugh and to make others laugh. He was comfortable being serious, but never took himself too seriously. He lived a happy life enjoying the simple joys of his art, planting flowers and good conversation.

Above all, he loved and served the Lord. He shared his faith openly, living every day his belief that Jesus loves each one of us deeply and personally. This is his testimony, and it will continue to be a blessing to all those he touched.

He is survived by: Daughter- Kelley Tyler (Shawn) and family, Sons- Chris Lyons (Claudine) grandsons Mitch and Grant, Vince Lyons (Melanie) grandchildren, Jacob, Mason and Maria - Greg Lyons and his sons Jacob and Jaylan.

The family would like to thank David and Carmie Pyle (neighbors) for their love, support and care over the years.
