1949 - 2021
 Tony Michael Vance, 71, of Barboursville, moved to Heaven on Tuesday, March 2, 2021. We will have a celebration of his life at 12:00 noon Saturday, March 6, 2021 at Christ Temple Church, led by Pastor Chuck Lawrence. But there will not be a graveside service. Mike was born April 22, 1949 in Logan, WV, a son of the late Tony and Rinda Caserta Vance. He was also preceded in death by his son, Jason Michael Vance in 1995; infant sister, Toni Jean Vance in 1947; sister-in-law, Anita Jordan and brother-in-law, Don Brown. He is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Lynda Brown Vance; son and daughter-in-law, Anthony and Kayla Vance of Barboursville, and a future granddaughter, Scarlett; sister, Anita Vance of Barboursville; brothers and sisters-in-law, Charles and Kelli Vance and Sam and Jeannie Vance, all of Barboursville; brother-in-law, John and Beth Brown of Coal Grove, Ohio; sister-in-law, Debbie Eidson of Huntington; brother-in-law, David Brown of Tennessee; sister-in-law, Elaine Brown of Georgia; stepmother, Bonnie Vance of Barboursville; and numerous nieces and nephews. Mike was a businessman and entrepreneur for many years, sharing with everyone whom he knew his love for the Lord. He had a desire to help others just as his father did, always lending a helping hand to those who needed help, a visit, or encouragement. Mike loved to be around young people. He led Sunday school classes, youth groups, and was the best Santa year in and year out. Mike mentored many people over the years. He was a monumental influence to countless lives, leading them to walking out their purpose in God. He was a father to many. And always had a desire to see the Church thrive. There will also be visitation from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.timeformemory.com/wallace.

Mike is more than a friend, more than a mentor. He Is like my older brother and many times my Dad. He helped shape my life in more ways than I can convey. I learned to serve by his example. Lynda and family, our prayers and Love are yours!

Mike was a huge influence in my life. In my early 20's Mike took me under his wing and mentored me in business and in life. I owe so much of who I am to him and Lynda. I am heartbroken over his passing and saddened for the loss of those who were always learning from him. I love you Mike and will miss you, but look forward to seeing you someday again!

Mike truly had a heart for the Lord. I am sure he heard "well done my good and faithful servant" when he arrived in heaven. I am sure his son and parents were also there to greet him. I am sure there will be a big family reunion some day soon.
