Vance attended Fort Edward High School and was a member of the New Life Baptist Church in Hudson Falls. His church and faith were very important to him.
He loved kids, animals and woodcarving. Vance was the best son, father, brother and uncle you could ask for. He would give the shirt off his back. Vance was the most kind, loving person you would ever meet, always striking up a conversation with anyone he met. He was known for being a terrific gentleman whose life centered around his children.
Besides his father, he was predeceased by his grandparents, Dominick and Esther Columbetti, Sr. and John and Dora Wright, his uncles, Dominick Columbetti, Jr., Charles Wright, Clinton Wright and Bill Nims and his nephew, Adam Philip LaRoe, Jr.
Survivors include his mother, Rosemary Columbetti Colvin of Hudson Falls; his daughter, Heather Lee Wright; his children, Brandon Heywood, Christopher Heywood and Melissa Heywood; his siblings, Gene Colvin, Gina Olcott and her husband, Bob, Daniel Wright, Jason LaRoe and Adam LaRoe; his two best friends, Theo Lamarque and Eydie Putnam; and several aunts, uncles ,nieces, nephews and cousins.
Friends may call on Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. at the New Life Baptist Church, 62 Main Street in Hudson Falls.
Funeral Services will follow the calling hours at 6 p.m. on Friday, at the New Life Baptist Church, with Pastor Jon Hawkins, officiating.
The family suggests that memorial donations be made to New Life Baptist Church, 62 Main St., Hudson Falls, NY 12839 or your local animal shelter.
Arrangements are under the care of Carleton Funeral Home, Inc., 68 Main Street in Hudson Falls.
Vance was a wonderful person and was very caring. We are sorry to see him go so soon. He was our great friend, always kind to all. He would always call before coming over and ask if we needed anything, He always brought a chocolate bar if we didn’t anyway. That was just the way he was. He was a jokester we have many happy thoughts of the pranks he would pull on Mack. His life was short but loved by all who knew him. Heather is very lucky to have had a father like him, He loved her more than life itself.
