Martin Vickers

Virgil “Martin” Vickers, age 83, left this earth on October 2, 2021 with a very special send-off surrounded by family and friends. Martin was born on August 12, 1938 to the late Tully and June Vickers. Martin was originally from Okeechobee, Florida and was a veteran of the United States Army. He met and married his wife, Phyllis of 61 years and moved to Fort Pierce where he raised his children and established his business, Crown Commercial Refrigeration until his retirement. Some of his passions included fishing, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Into his later years, he loved front porch chats and sharing his faith in God. Those left to cherish his memories include his loving wife, Phyllis Vickers; daughters, Kathy Vickers, Wendy Vickers Johns; grandchildren, Devin A.C. Guettler, Jacoby Stanlo Johns, Michael Wesley Vickers, Joshua Martin Johns (Tori), Jaron Chase Johns; two great grand-daughters and two great grand-sons.
