Vincent Irwin Mora II, a beloved husband, father, brother and friend, passed away on January 18, 2025, in Point Roberts, Washington, at the age of 74 due to heart failure. Born on June 8, 1950, in South Bend, Indiana, to Elizabeth Crandall-Christensen and Vincent Mora, Vince led a rich and meaningful life filled with love, laughter, and kindness.
Vince grew up in Hancock Park, California, where he attended June Street Elementary, John Burroughs Junior High School, Los Angeles High School, and Pierce College. He found his craft in woodworking and was a beautifully complex man who created his work with the kind of old-world craftsmanship that rarely exists today.
Vince spent his early years in Idyllwild, California, then moved to Azusa, California, and finally to Point Roberts, where he spent his golden years. In the peace and beauty of Point Roberts, he embraced the simplicity and joy of life by the water.
Vince brought joy to those he encountered in life. His friendship was a joy to all who knew him. His presence was a blessing, and time spent with him was always a pleasure.
He leaves behind a family who adored him and will forever cherish his memory. Vince is survived by his devoted wife of 33 years, Christina Maria Petersen-Mora, and their cherished daughter, Jessiejoy Elizabeth Petersen-Mora. He is also remembered by his sons, Vincent Mora III and Carrington Mora, and their mother, Jennifer Blythe Calder, as well as his dear sister, Sherri Ann Mora.
Vince’s legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew him. His calm spirit, gentle heart, and unwavering love for life and family will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
Godspeed, Vince. May you find peace and calm seas ahead.
