Buddy Kevin never met a stranger! With his warm smile, generous heart, and easygoing spirit, he had a remarkable way of making everyone feel like a friend.

Buddy Kevin Vincent, age 52, of Big Clifty, formerly of Brownsville, departed this life on Sunday, August 2, 2026, at Owensboro Health. The Edmonson County native was born on June 16, 1974, to the late Bud and Evelyn Elmore Vincent. He shared a devoted marriage with his wife, Callie Jo Vincent, until she was called home to be with the Lord. Though separated by death, their love remained a lasting testimony of the life they built together.

Buddy Kevin never met a stranger! With his warm smile, generous heart, and easygoing spirit, he had a remarkable way of making everyone feel like a friend. He was well known and deeply loved throughout the community, and his genuine kindness left a lasting impression on countless lives. A graduate of Edmonson County High School, Buddy Kevin believed in serving others. He volunteered in years past with the Brownsville Volunteer Fire Department and was a member of the Edmonson County Lions Club, giving back to the community that had given so much to him. For many years, he owned and operated Little Bud's Bait and Tackle, where customers often came as much for the fellowship and conversation as they did for fishing supplies. He also treasured the years he spent working alongside his friends, Joel and Barbara Davis and the Green River Canoe family, creating memories and friendships that would endure for a lifetime.

Buddy Kevin's faith was also very important to him, and means more today than ever.  He was saved as a young boy at Anneta United Baptist Church, after hearing the gospel from Bro. Willard Saltsman.  He was baptized, joined the church, and remained a member there until he left for his heavenly home.  

He leaves to cherish his memory-- his uncle, Michael Elmore (Hilda); his special mother-in-law, Donna Nunn; his sister-in-law, Janie Broughton (Stanley); and his nephew, Ison Broughton, along with many extended family members, dear friends, and neighbors whose lives were made richer by knowing him.  Besides his beloved wife and parents, Kevin was preceded in death by his grandparents, Perry and Lola Mae Vincent and George and Valerie Elmore; and his aunts and uncles, Riley Elmore, James Elmore, Nelsie Whobery, Louise Williams, and Alice Williams.

Memorial contributions may be made to: Patton Funeral Home,  c/o Buddy Kevin Vincent Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 326, Brownsville, KY  42210.
