Vincent William Baran lived his entire life in the vibrant community of Hudson, Ohio.
Born Jan. 9, 2013, Vincent died in a tragic accident on Nov. 7, 2020.
Vincent—or “Vinny”—was riding his bike on the sidewalk in downtown Hudson with members of his family on a sunny Saturday afternoon when he was struck by a car pulling out of a parking lot.
He did not survive the injuries he sustained. Here is Vincent’s obituary.
Vincent’s death left his family and many members of his community deeply shaken. He was unquestionably a special boy, whose enthusiasm, sense of humor, and kindness left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him.
We hope that you find this site inspirational as you remember Vincent. Or, if you didn’t know him very well or at all, perhaps this site will inspire you to think a little bit differently about your own life and how you interact with those around you.
A world with more people who thrived like Vinny would be a better world indeed.
