A Lubbock, Texas family is grappling with an unimaginable loss as they say their final goodbyes to 12-year-old Vance Witherspoon, whose bright life ended far too soon.
The tragedy occurred the day after Christmas, during what was intended to be a peaceful camping and deer-hunting trip. While riding an ATV at a deer lease, Vance suffered a fatal accident that shocked his family and everyone who knew him.
Vance was remembered by friends, neighbors, and family as a boy who truly lived life to the fullest. He was joyful, kind, open-hearted, and deeply loved by everyone who crossed his path. His infectious enthusiasm and warm spirit left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
A passionate Texas Tech fan, Vance never missed a game and celebrated every win with unmatched excitement. Beyond his love for sports, he was a proud and **devout Christian**, and his family finds comfort in the hope and faith that they will one day be reunited with him.
Today, the community in Lubbock is coming together to support the Witherspoon family, surrounding them with love and prayers during a visitation held in Vance’s honor. He will be laid to rest **tomorrow at 1:00 PM**, a somber moment to say goodbye to a young life that touched so many.
Those wishing to express their sympathy are encouraged to share condolences with the family as they navigate this heartbreaking time.
Vance’s life, though tragically short, is remembered for its joy, love, faith, and the light he brought into the world — a legacy that will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
