My brother William R. (Bill) Vinson, Jr. (44) of Crossville, TN., passed away during the morning hours of July 3rd, 2005. He was survived by his wife of seven years Cheryl Vinson, three step-daughters Tiffany Ferren of Sparta, TN., Haley of Crossville, TN. and a younger step-daughter living with her Dad in Ohio. He is survived by his two daughters Alicia Vinson of Sparta, TN. and Amanda Vinson of Crossville, TN., ex-wife of seventeen (17) years Gail Roberts Vinson of Crossville, TN.
He was partying with his wife and step-children, his ex-wife and one daughter Alicia on the night of July 2nd, 2005. He supposedly jumped off the side of a four foot above ground pool, hitting his nose on the bottom causing him to hemorrhage in his brain. Wife Cheryl stated that he was doing what he wanted to do during his last days on this earth as if he knew he wouldn't be here very much longer. Four days earlier his daughter Amanda was taken by LifeFlight to Erlanger's Trauma Unit in Chattanooga, TN. roughly 85 miles south-east of Sparta, TN where she was involved in an accident that almost left her paralyzed from her neck down. Amanda released her rope to quick while swinging out over the river below when her rope broke and she fell onto the rocks below throwing her out into the water where she recalls our late mother (her grandmother Bessie Vinson) appears unto her telling her "to not worry-- that it wasn't her time to go!" Four days later-- I am called and told our brother Bill had died! I find out today July 30th, 2005 that he died from cocaine use. His death has been ruled accidental-- but with cause! I am sick to death over this information, however, it does not surprise me because my brother loved to party hard! Our parents had four sons no girls. The picture above is all of us boys together: Randall (42), Gregory (37), Bill (44) and Barry "Bear" (45). Our Mother Bessie Cole Vinson passed away two years ago during Labor Day week end at (60).
