Johnny Earl Vickers

Johnny Earl Vickers, 81, of Trenton, Tennessee, passed away Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at his residence.

Born Friday, May 5, 1944, at the 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 his country in the Tennessee National Guard. Over the years he worked at Dyersburg Fabrics and later at Trenton Mills. He also served as the maintenance employee at the 4-H Camp in Milan, where he enjoyed staying active and working with his hands.

Before moving to Trenton, Johnny and his family made their home in Newbern, Tennessee, where he was active in his community. He served as a member of the Dyer County Board of Education and was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Dyersburg, Tennessee. After moving to Trenton, he continued his service to the community as a member of the Gibson County 911 Board.

Johnny loved being outdoors and could often be found working in the yard, always keeping himself busy with something that needed doing. He especially enjoyed spending time fishing and deer hunting, activities that brought him great joy—especially when he was sharing those moments with his grandchildren. He deeply loved and supported his family, and his dedication to them was evident in everything he did.

He is survived by his loving wife of sixty years, Linda Montgomery Vickers of Trenton, Tennessee; one son, David Vickers (Laura Ann) of Idaho; two daughters, Susan Vickers Beacham (Wayne) of Milan, Tennessee, and Laura Vickers (Trent Eskew) of Trenton, Tennessee; one sister, Vicki Johnson (Danny) of Dyersburg, Tennessee; and a sister-in-law, Hannah Vickers of Dyersburg, Tennessee.

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.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, James Page “Jim” Vickers.
