Father ⋅ John Byrne ⋅ Deceased
Vin had a very strong relationship with his father, and is filled with fond memories of the time they had together. The lessons John taught Vin as a boy resulted in Vin developing a strong moral code, one that he lives by to this day. John began teaching Vin how to play guitar from a very young age, and the guitar he uses today was his dads old six-string. Tragically, John passed away on the 29th of December in 2011. His death was ruled a homicide. His killer is still at large. John is buried in the Index, WA cemetery. Vin misses his father very much and often thinks about him, even though he doesn't often speak about him. This was a very significant and painful loss. While Vins memories of his father are primarily good, he does have some bad memories due to his dads drinking and mental illness. John suffered from bipolar disorder, depression, and alcoholism (most of which he passed onto his son), the former two sometimes resulting in catatonic episodes. Vin does, however, visit his dads grave three times a year. Once on fathers day (June 21), once on his dads birthday (March 28), and once on the anniversary of his death (December 29). Thanksgiving and Christmas are hard holidays for Vincent due to his fathers passing, as the former was his dads favorite holiday, and the latter is too close to the anniversary of his death.
