Vince was born on May 21, 1968, in Sioux City, the son of Thomas VanDonselaar and Adrian (Macklem) Wisner. He graduated from West High, Sioux City, in 1986. Over the course of his life in Sioux Falls, he worked for Citibank, Gateway, Revonet, and was currently employed with Wells Fargo.

Vinnie loved the outdoors whether it was hunting or fishing with numerous friends or riding his motorcycle "Roxanne" with Biker buddies.

Whether you knew him as Vince, Vinnie, Keith Urban or Bon Jovi or just that guy who was always upbeat with a bounce in his step, chances are your life was impacted by his outgoing personality at one time or another. It is likely that he made you smile or helped you find the good in a bad situation. His zest for life and being happy in the moment no matter the circumstance was contagious.

Grateful for having shared his life are his son, Boston VanDonselaar of Sturgis S.D.; his mother, Adrian Wisner of Sioux City; a sister, Lisa Paris (Harley) of Correctionville Iowa, and their children, Mitchell Paris, Brandon Paris and Cody Paris; his stepsister, Bobbi Herting of Sioux Falls; stepfather, Ron Camerer of South Sioux City; uncles, Dennis "Mac" Macklem and Jim (Christine) VanDonselaar, both of Sioux City; cousins, Chad and Shane Macklem; Vince's girlfriend, Melissa "Missy" Jungen of Rock Rapids Iowa; special family friend, Jim Shields of Omaha; and many very close friends.

Vince is preceded in death by his father, Thomas VanDonselaar; grandparents, Lowell and Elaine VanDonselaar, and Adrian "Slip" and Delores Macklem; and a niece, Cassie Paris.
