Vance was loved by all who knew him and will be deeply missed.

In addition to his parents, Vance is survived by a little brother, Dylan Zinn of Thomasville; maternal grandparents, David and Judy Wire of Dover; paternal grandparents James and Mary Zinn of New Oxford, and many other loving extended family members.

Vance was preceded in death by his great grandfather Charles Wire.
