Robert was a beloved father, grandfather, husband, friend, and brother. He proudly served in the Army during the Vietnam Era.

He went on to work as a diesel mechanic, welder, and finally a road crewman for the Vermilion Parish Police Jury where he would retire.
He was a true sportsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and the occasional beer with family and friends. He enjoyed the Saints football team with his late wife of 20 years, Janell.
He is survived by his children, Scott Gaspard (Kelly-Jo) of Kaplan, Crystal Milburn of San Antonio, Jennifer Gaspard of Kaplan, and daughter-in-law, Hannah Vincent of Kaplan; grandchildren, Jonathan Vincent of Kaplan, Patrick Vincent of Kaplan, Luke Yanna (Skylar) of Idaho, Lacey Yanna of San Antonio, Jared Yanna (Elora) of Washington, Coeyn Wise of Kaplan, and Iyan Gaspard of Cecilia; great-grandchild, Elias Yanna Oliver of San Antonio; sister, Agnes Bouillion of Chalmette; and brothers, Lanis Vincent (Audrey) and EJ Vincent (Betty).
He was preceded in death by his children, Scotty Vincent of Kaplan, and Roberta Vincent of Kaplan; his wife, Janell LaSalle Vincent of Kaplan; three sisters; three brothers; and his parents, Emery Vincent and the former Adella Hebert of Klondike, LA.
Visiting hours will be observed at Vincent Funeral Home in Kaplan, 300 N. Eleazar Ave., on Monday, May 20, 2024 from 10:00 AM until 9:00 PM with a rosary being prayed at 1:00 PM; Tuesday, May 21, 2024 from 8:00 AM until the procession departs for church at 10:45 AM.
