Obituary For Albert Vickers

Staff Sergeant Albert Vickers was born in White City, FL to the late Deacon James and Gussie Vickers on Christmas Day, December 25, 1938. He attended the local schools of Saint Lucie County including Lincoln Park Academy where he played sports.

After the death of his mother, he moved to Plant City, FL to live with his grandmother. From his grandmother, he enlisted in the US Army at an early age. While serving in the army, he received many awards. He was in the Medical Corp., served in Vietnam where he received many more awards for outstanding performance. After 25 years of dedicated and faithful service, he retired and moved back to St. Lucie County(Fort Pierce, FL) and gained employment with the Saint Lucie County School Board as a mechanic until his second retirement.

He met and married the love of his life, Spicy Barron, on December 23, 1988. The love that they shared was incomparable.

One of his favorite scriptures was Matthew 7:1-3, which says, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” His favorite songs were, “Glad to be in the number, one more time,” and “When you hear of my home going, don’t worry about me.”
