Vince Koza death was announced by his daughter Brittany Koza, in a statement on a CaringBridge.org page that read:
“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.
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.”
