Vance is married to law school classmate Joyce White Vance, who served as United States Attorney in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama from 2009 to 2017. They have four children.
Bob Vance's father was Judge Robert S. Vance who served on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. He was assassinated on December 16, 1989 at his home in Mountain Brook, Alabama, when he opened a package containing a mail bomb sent by serial bomber Walter Leroy Moody, Jr. Vance was killed instantly and Bob's mother, Helen, was seriously injured and hospitalized.[7] Special Prosecutor Louis J. Freeh, who later became the director of the FBI, co-directed the prosecution. Moody had mistakenly thought Judge Vance had denied his appeal of another case. The federal government charged Moody with the murders of Judge Vance and of Robert E. Robinson, a black civil-rights attorney in Savannah, Georgia, who had been killed in a separate explosion at his office. Moody was also charged with mailing bombs that were defused at the Eleventh Circuit's headquarters in Atlanta and at the Jacksonville office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In 1991, Moody was sentenced to seven federal life terms, plus 400 years. He was subsequently tried in 1996 for murder by the state and was executed by the state of Alabama in 2018 when he was 83 years old.[8]
