Vince Boyer Obituary

Vince Edward Boyer JOHNS ISLAND - Vince Edward Boyer, 47, husband of Rhonda M. Boyer, entered into eternal rest July 25, 2014. The relatives and friends of Vince and Rhonda Boyer are invited to attend his Memorial Service at 6:00 PM Wednesday, July 30, 2014, at the James A. McAlister Chapel, 1620 Savannah Highway, Charleston. The family will receive friends immediately following the service at the funeral home. Burial will be private. Online condolences may be offered at www.JamesAMcAlister.com. A native of Charleston, Vince was a son of Billy R. and Margaret V. Boyer, both of whom survive. He was the owner of American Marlin Plumbing, and was a member of the Cathedral Church of St. Luke & St. Paul. A loving husband and father, Vince was an avid Carolina Gamecocks fan from the age of 16, and enjoyed a friendly rivalry over football with his parents, both Clemson fans. Vince enjoyed all types of fishing, especially offshore fishing, and had recently started his own plumbing business, and devoted much of his time to the business. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him, not the least of which was "General", his basset hound. In addition to his wife and parents, Vince is survived by his 2 children: Ragan "Ray Ray" Boyer Frick and husband Ryan, and Michael Jeffrey "Jeff" Boyer; his brother, David R. Boyer and wife Melissa. He was preceded in death by his brother, Brian L. Boyer, his paternal grandparents, Earl and Ila Boyer, and his maternal grandparents, Roy and Jeanette Miller. In lieu of flowers, donations in Vince's memory may be made to a charity of one's choice. Arrangements by JAMES A. McALISTER Funerals & Cremation, 766-1365.

My heart felt prayers for your family. I am glad Vince and I reconnected after so many years. It was my honor to help him full fill one of his dreams, to own his own plumbing business. He will be missed dearly. In the short time I spent with him, all he could do was talk about his family, especially his beautiful wife Rhonda. Rest in Peace Vince.

Only God knows why they go so young. My prayers and thoughts are with you all now and with Vince. I love you guys and you know my door is always open.

my sincere condolences to all of Vince's loved ones. We ponder-so soon, too young to pass. And so it seems we are left with questions like what is the meaning of this moment. . . there are no answers but be assured that God walks with vince, weeps with each of you, and will abide with all of you as you grieve and as you heal.

We are so sorry to hear about Vince. We met Vince this winter after being referred by a friend of a friend to help us with our house on Folly. We instantly both felt a friendship and trust which we bet was pretty common with Vince. He will be missed.
