Johnny Earl Vickers

Johnny Earl Vickers, 81, of Trenton, Tennessee, passed away on March 10, 2026, at his residence. Born on May 5, 1944, at Halls Air Force Base in Halls, Tennessee, he was the son of the late John Wilson Vickers and the late Lilly Omega Fielden Vickers.

Johnny proudly served in the Tennessee National Guard. He worked at Dyersburg Fabrics and later at Trenton Mills, and he served as a maintenance employee at the 4-H Camp in Milan, where he enjoyed staying active and working with his hands. Before moving to Trenton, he and his family lived in Newbern, where he served on the Dyer County Board of Education and was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Dyersburg. After relocating, he continued his community service as a member of the Gibson County 911 Board.

He loved the outdoors and could often be found working in the yard or keeping busy with projects that needed doing. He especially enjoyed fishing and deer hunting, activities that brought him great joy when shared with his grandchildren. Above all, Johnny deeply loved and supported his family, and his quiet dedication to them was evident throughout his life.

He is survived by his loving wife of sixty years, Linda Montgomery Vickers of Trenton; one son, David Vickers (Laura Ann) of Idaho; two daughters, Susan Vickers Beacham (Wayne) of Milan and Laura Vickers (Trent Eskew) of Trenton; one sister, Vicki Johnson (Danny) of Dyersburg; and a sister-in-law, Hannah Vickers of Dyersburg. He was lovingly known as “Pop” to his five grandchildren, Peyton Beacham (Chloe), Jack Vickers (Stephanie Stakus), Justin Vickers, Sara Beacham, and Spencer Vickers (Alyssa), and his two great-grandchildren, Anastacia and Madison. He was preceded in death by his brother, James Page “Jim” Vickers.
