Vincent Silvestri Obituary

Passed away unexpectedly on August 8, 2014, at the age of 50. Vincent (Vinnie to his friends and family) was born in Folsom, CA in the spring of 1964 to Elma Jean and Joseph Silvestri.

As The Lord welcomes Vinnie into his garden he says "take my hand". In your grief over the loss of your wonderful son, know he is now with God. Peace and love to you in your time of sorrow and may you find some solace forevermore.

I first meant Vince while playing soccer during Junior High School. He was a referee and had such a gentle way about him. It sounds like he never changed. What a beautiful way to be remembered.

It was such an honor knowing and spending time with Vincent. I have have so many memories of Vincent, one being how he'd love to take pictures at events he was attending, most recently at his great niece, Summer's soccer games. His kind personality will be missed.
