William (Bill) Royce Vincent

Obituary

Passed on

September 28, 1939 – June 20, 2026

It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Bill at St. Boniface Hospital, surrounded by his family.  Bill is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Carol, his daughters Carla (Dave), Andrea (Marilyn), and grandson Thor.

Bill is predeceased by his siblings Stanley, Sidney, Charles, Kenneth, Donald, James and Ellen. Raised in Stony Mountain, Bill answered a calling to the ministry and became an Anglican priest.  Throughout his career, he served parishes in the Carmen area and Winnipeg, touching the lives of many people through his compassion, wisdom and steadfast faith.  He was known for his warmth, gregarious nature, and ability to transform a simple conversation into a meaningful discussion.

An avid reader throughout his life, Bill built an extensive collection of books and could often be found with one in hand. He cherished time spent at the cottage, at Winnipeg Beach with his family.

Bill’s kindness and unwavering belief in the goodness of people touched countless lives. He will be deeply missed by his family, his many friends, and everyone fortunate enough to have shared a coffee, a conversation, or a chapter of life with him.

A private family burial will take place.
