Vincent Montalbano, 54, of Babylon, NY, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2025. He bravely underwent a Whipple procedure, and although the surgery was successful, microscopic cancer cells remained. Vincent completed two months of chemotherapy and, at the time, was believed to be in the clear.
In early 2026, Vincent began experiencing abdominal pain and was faced with difficult news — a new, inoperable tumor had developed near his liver. Despite being given an initial prognosis of limited time, Vincent has continued to show incredible strength and resilience. After reconnecting with his oncologist, he is now pursuing additional treatment, including radiation and upcoming chemotherapy, holding onto hope and continuing to fight each day.
Vincent is someone who finds joy in the simple, meaningful things in life. A former baseball lover, he now enjoys all things Star Wars and sci-fi, often spending time building intricate LEGO sets to keep his mind engaged and positive. He values connection deeply and enjoys talking with friends, always striving to maintain a strong and optimistic mindset.
Above all, Vincent is a devoted family man. His love for his wife and their two daughters, ages 31 and 25, is at the center of his world. His unwavering commitment to his family and his family-first attitude are a true reflection of the kind of man he is.
Vincent’s support system extends into the community as well, with his sister-in-law serving the Shoreham-Wading River School District and making an impact on young students every day.
Vincent, we stand with you in this fight. Your strength, courage, and positivity inspire us all. We are rooting for you every step of the way — one day at a time.
Sending our love, thoughts, and prayers.
