He had just turned ninety-four in November and died on January 23rd, 2026. In a sweet video, Jo Dee shared a clip of Vincent singing, and it showed <a href=\"https:\/\/countrymusicalley.com\/2025\/05\/23\/dolly-parton-reveals-why-shes-happy-about-husbands-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">just how much life he had in him.<\/a> All she asked of her father was that he give her mother a hug for her. Mary Messina passed away in April 2020, and that was a devastating time for the singer. Now, Vincent and Mary have reunited, and that has somewhat been reassuring for the country superstar.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DT50_fPEe88\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After Jo Dee Messina\u2019s fans learned of the sad death, they immediately sent their condolences to the Framingham, Massachusetts native.
