Vincent Aleman, Jr.
Vincent Aleman, Jr., formerly of Switzerland County now living in Baytown, Texas, passed away on Tuesday, September 18th, in Texas.
Vincent was born on July 21st, 1956 in Houston, Texas, the son of Ann Hatchett and Vincent Aleman, Sr. He graduated Robert E. Lee High School, and started his first job at Baytown Icehouse at the age of 16.
Since he was prematurely graying, when his mother picked him up from work many would mistake his mother as his girlfriend. He kept his hard working ethic all of his life, either with factory work or side jobs.
Vincent was over the moon when his first child arrived, Julie; and was again when his son, Vincent, was born.
When he wasn’t working, he spent his time working on his garden or with his beloved grandmother, Chepa until her death in 2009.
He will be greatly remembered by all those he met. He was a kind, generous, loving person who always did everything he could for everyone he met. He had never met a stranger.
He is survived by his parents; his stepmother Amada Aleman; his stepfather Robert Hatchett; his children and his siblings: Steven Aleman, Frances Valdez, Larry Solis, Harold Solis, Josie Aleman, and Jennifer Hatchett; along with numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Richard Aleman.
A time of visitation and a wake was held on Monday, September 24th, in Texas. The Blackwell Vazquez Funeral Home, 750 Uvalde Road, Houston, Texas, 77015, is assisting the family at this difficult time.
