Vincent "Bull" Joseph Krolczyk

Vincent Joseph Krolczyk, Sr., age 62, passed away on April 1, 2025. Vincent, lovingly known as "Bull" to his friends, lived a life full of passion, laughter, and deep connections with family and friends. Vincent was born May 6, 1962 in Chappell Hill, Texas to Alphonse and Dorothy Krolczyk, Sr.

Vincent was an avid outdoorsman, he found joy in hunting dove and deer, casting his line while fishing, and perfecting the art of barbecuing surrounded by those he loved. He was also a skilled winemaker, always ready to share a bottle of his homemade wine with friends. Vincent took great pride in keeping his vehicles spotless and polished.

Vincent cherished summer trips to the beach with his children. He had a special gift for training both dogs and horses. His beloved dog, Buster, and his remarkable horse, Oakie—who could be ridden with just a hay string, held special places in his heart. A true music lover, he took pride in sharing his birthday with Bob Seger and never missed a chance to enjoy his favorite tunes. Football Sundays were spent watching his beloved Dallas Cowboys.

Above all, Vincent’s greatest joy was his family. He was a devoted father to his children Vincent Jr., Matthew, and Kalyn, and he treasured every moment spent with his grandchildren. His love, wisdom, and larger-than-life presence will be deeply missed but forever remembered by those who knew and loved him.

Vincent is survived by his wife Debbie, whom he married on December 31, 2006, his children Vincent Jr. and significant other Hannah, Matthew Krolczyk and wife Brittney, and Kalyn Knode; grandchildren Brody, Bear, and soon to be granddaughter Krolczyk; siblings Diane Roese and husband John, Bobby Krolczyk and wife Lisa, Daniel Krolczyk and wife Lisa, Mary Jane Malinowski and husband Donald, Melvin Krolczyk and wife Tammy, and Bonnie Bush and husband Kevin; nephews and nieces Mark Roese, Kimberly and Chase Nelson, Taylor Krolczyk and Derek Grimm, Haley and Tyler Gandy, Amanda Krolczyk, Karah and Terry Swonke, Carson Bush, Kolten Krolczyk, Hannah Bush, Braydon Bush, Courtney McNeil and husband Jared, Megan Riley and husband Austin, Sidne Kortis, Hanna Kortis, Keaton Poston and wife Annie, Trey Poston, Jon Erik Coonse, Jacob Knode, Taylor Knode, and Tanner Knode; great nephews and nieces Aubrey Grimm, Emily, Lilly Nelson, Bailey and Logan McNeil, Sam and Madelyn Poston; sister and brothers-in-law Tami Carlson and husband Mike, Rodney Knode and significant other Carrie King, and John Knode.
