Jan 13, 1975---Oct 16, 2023

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Vince Patterson, who joined his Lord and Savior on Monday, October 16, 2023. He was born on January 13, 1975, and left a lasting impact on the lives of those who knew him.

Vince was born in Kansas City, MO, and raised in Olathe, KS, where he graduated from Olathe South High School in 1993. He worked for more than 20 years in finance and marketing for the telecommunications industry. During his 15 years at Lumen Technologies, he was known by his co-workers as a talented analyst with an eye for detail who brought creativity and humor to the team.

Vince will be remembered for his unwavering faith in Christ, his distinctive and contagious laugh, and his ability to impersonate nearly anyone. He loved coaching, fishing, golfing, and his beloved KU Jayhawks.

But more than anything, Vince most cherished his roles as Meagan’s husband and Greyson’s dad.

Meagan and Vince were married on January 8, 2000, at the Kansas City Museum. They met at The University of Kansas in 1997 while Vince was studying business administration and Meagan was studying speech-language pathology before both going on to earn their master’s degrees.

Greyson was born in 2006, and Vince was smitten at first sight. From teaching Grey to fish and golf and coaching the Hoopers basketball team to countless nights in the dugout with club baseball, Vince soaked up every second of being an amazing dad.

Vince was a beloved son to Malvin Patterson (Sandra Patterson) and his late mother Vivian Elaine Strawn Patterson. He was also a loving brother to Monica Beverly (Ricardo), Eric Witherspoon (Tajuana), Chante Block (William), and the late Chaunna Layton (Killi).

Visitation will be held on Saturday, October 21 at 1 p.m. at Lenexa Baptist Church, 15320 W. 87th St Pkwy, Lenexa, KS, followed by a funeral service at 2 p.m. All who wish to honor and remember Vince are invited to attend.

Burial to follow at 4 p.m. at Johnson County Memorial Gardens, 11200 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS 66210.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Greyson Patterson’s college fund can be made at https://gofund.me/cee5cacc.

It is with our heartfelt deepest condolences and sympathy that our prayers cover the Patterson Family during this untimely loss! Vince became a part of our weekly family prayer circle keeping him lifted before God in support of his fight. We believe that He is in the arms of our Heavenly Father. A donation was made by The Abiding Word Church under the leadership of Pastor's Bruce and Bonnie Yancey and the Texas Prayer Group (under Dionne Brown) in support of his beautiful son. May God's grace guide you in the days to come.

Our hearts were broken when we heard of the passing of Vince. We want you to know Meagan and Greyson that we are thinking of you and will continue to hold you in our thoughts during this difficult time. Vince's mom was my college roommate and was my dearest friend. When our children were young they had an opportunity to get to know and enjoy each other. To Monica, Tony and the entire family, please know that we are praying for you.
