Vernon Tubbs

September 27, 1952 — September 3, 2025

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Vernon Tubbs, a cherished husband, father, and dedicated member of the U.S. Army. Vernon was born on September 27, 1952, in Cleveland, Ohio, and he departed this world on September 3, 2025, in Detroit, Michigan, at the age of 72.

Vernon proudly served his country with honor and distinction in the U.S. Army, embodying the values of duty, integrity, and service. His commitment to his country was matched only by his devotion to his family.

Vernon was known for his kindness, wisdom, and sense of humor. He touched the lives of many and was a source of inspiration to those who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to share in his life.

To honor Vernon's remarkable life, a public viewing will be held on Friday, September 12, 2025, from 4:00pm - 9:000pm at the James H. Cole Home for Funerals - Blvd. Chapel. Friends and family are invited to gather to remember and celebrate his life.

A funeral service will take place the following day, Saturday, September 13th, at 1:00pm, also at the funeral home. Prior to the service, a family hour will begin at 12:30pm, providing a moment for loved ones to come together in a more intimate setting before celebrating Vernon's life and legacy.

Vernon will be laid to rest at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan.

As we prepare to say goodbye, let us remember Vernon not only for his service to our nation but also for the love and joy he brought into our lives. May he rest in peace, knowing that he will always be loved and remembered.
