Vincent Wayne Gysbers

July 9, 2025 by Hometown News

Vincent (Vince) Gysbers, 80 years old of Long Prairie, passed away on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at his home surrounded by his family.
A memorial service in his honor took place Monday, July 7, 2025, at the St. Mary’s of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in Long Prairie.
Vince was born on August 10, 1944, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Willis and Mary Gysbers. After high school, he served in the U.S. Navy from 1961 to 1965 aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid, and was honorably discharged as an Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Launching and Recovery), Petty Officer 3rd Class. He later continued his service in the Army National Guard for several years.
Vince had a gift for connecting with people and built a successful career as a salesman in the printing and ink industry. He also took pride in owning and operating a small business.
On March 21, 1980, Vince married his better half, Jane, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and together they joined their two families into one. He was a proud and devoted father to six children, Lisa, Jeffery, Pam, Will, JoAnn, and Russ, and grandfather to ten grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren, all of whom he loved and adored above all else.
Known for his bright smile and quick wit, Vince lit up every room he entered. He always had a story, joke, or life lesson to share, and rarely missed a Taco Tuesday phone call with his granddaughter or a Saturday night watching Lawrence Welk. He loved traveling, spending time with friends and family, and was an avid gardener. In later years, he discovered a passion for painting and could often be found in his garage studio, working on his latest project.
Vince is survived by his beloved wife, Jane (Snyder) Gysbers; children: Lisa (Al) Cook of Coon Rapids, MN; Jeffery (Layla) Gysbers of Cambridge, MN; Pam Morisch of Gainesville, FL; Will Lux of Fort Myers, FL; JoAnn (David) Kingston of Long Prairie, MN; Russ (Stacy) Lux of Long Prairie, MN; 10 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and many dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Carmella.
