David Munro Vickers

LAKEVILLE - David Munro Vickers, 80, passed away on February 22, 2026, after a brief illness. He was the loving partner of Diane Landucci, with whom he shared more than 20 years in Lakeville, Connecticut.



David was born on October 15, 1945, in Queens, New York, the son of John Marter Vickers and Ethlyn Marie Munro Vickers. He served in the United States Navy and was a veteran of the Vietnam War.



David later moved with his family to Lakeville, Connecticut, where he went on to hold positions at LeBonnes Market, Noble Horizons, Hotchkiss and Lime Rock Park.



One of David's great passions was baking cookies and cakes for his many friends in the community. He also had a lifelong tenderness for wildlife and quietly enjoyed caring for the many creatures around him. With birdseed and other treats left outside for squirrels, birds, chipmunks, and the occasional turkey or deer, no visitor ever left his yard hungry.



He was also an enthusiastic supporter of the UConn Huskies.



In addition to Ms. Landucci, he is survived by his son, Grant Vickers of Lakeville; his nephews, Damon Vickers of Martha's Vineyard and Jeremiah Brimlow Vickers of New York City.



David will be remembered for his quiet kindness, his generosity toward both people and animals, and the warmth he brought to those around him.
