He visited his local McDonalds at least once a day, first for his regular sausage biscuit and coffee, and later for his lunch time hamburger. He loved to go fishing in the Coosa River and Wynn Creek, mostly because he went with his brothers.

He was survived by his son Randy Vickers; brother Lonnie Vickers; granddaughters Kristina Gower and Melissa Vickers Scifres (Justin); grandsons Joshua Vickers (Heather) and Matthew Vickers; great-granddaughters Pamela Workman, Trinity Vickers and Fiona Scifres; and great-grandson Jase Vickers.
