Journal entry by Brittany Koza —
My father passed away this morning, January 3, 2020, and 4:55am. It was as peaceful as it could be. We were all with him and I know he felt us there with all of our love.
He fought so so hard, but there was just too much cancer. It overtook his lungs and he just couldn’t breathe anymore. His heart was strong but it just just too much work. I know he fought as hard as he could for as long as he could, and that towards the end he was purely fighting for my mom, my sister, and me.
Please bear with us during this difficult time. We’re still processing and in the process of getting him and everything back to Lima. Details about services will be shared once we’ve made them.
Thank you all for your kindness, love, and support. I know he felt it and I know it meant the world to him. He loved you all. He loved Lima. And it was amazing to see how much you all loved him back. Thank you for giving him that gift.

So sorry to hear of Vince’s passing. Thoughts and prayers to the Koza family from Coach Otten and the Coldwater Football program. So appreciative of what Vince did for HS sports especially for us small schools in Mercer County. Always with a smile and enthusiasm in his voice. Thanks Vince
