Vincent Frost Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Our beloved son and step-brother, Vincent Frost, joined our Lord in Heaven this week. He will be deeply missed for his kindness, his wit, and his selflessness toward friends, family and his students. A teacher in the Plano Independent School District, Vince dedicated 17 years of his life to teaching students English as a Second Language (ESL), as well as his other passion, literature. A compassionate teacher and friend to his students, he helped countless students assimilate through improved language skills and accent reduction. In the late eighties, he began developing a passion for Chinese cultures and languages, and first served as an ESL teacher at the Taipei Language Institute for 3 years. He was a passionate expert in the fields of art, photography and technology, once helping to prepare Plano East Senior High's elite Academic Decathlon team for competition at the local, regional, and state level. Additionally, he tutored the team in Chinese calligraphy and language. He also served as a co-sponsor of the Plano East Student Senate for two years, a big commitment and an endeavor in which he did an excellent job working with the leadership class of student senators. Prior to embarking on his calling as a dedicated educator, he honed his fine arts and photography skills as a news photographer, and later as the Chief Photographer, in the Lewisville, Texas, branch of Harte-Hanks. A talented and avid fan of virtual reality and other advanced technologies, he also combined his technical skills and artistic abilities creatively to make an impact in the digital realm. He obtained a Certification in Secondary Education from UTD in 1997, and also a Masters of Arts in Painting from the Stephen F. Austin State University in 1988. Vincent was a treasured friend and family member to all who held him dear. His love of life and laughter was infectious, and his commitment to learning about and sharing the elements of art, photography, and the Chinese culture he found so fascinating will leave a lasting legacy with everyone he encountered during his all too short but precious life. We will dearly miss him and his wonderful smile and bear hugs. God bless and keep you well until we see you again, Vincent. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Friday, August 14th at Church of the Holy Communion, 17405 Muirield Drive Dallas, Texas 75287. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall. In lieu of flowers, a scholarship fund in Vincent's memory will be created with details to follow at the reception and as updated on this website.
