Gregory "Greg" Vickers passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 in McMinnville, Oregon with his family by his side. While he will be missed by so many, we are thankful he is no longer in pain.
Greg was born on September 17, 1955, in Salem, Oregon. Greg was the son of Jack Vickers and Helen (Moeller) Prescott. He joined sister Pam and later was big brother to Janelle and Margaret.
Greg was a devoted husband to Debbie (Swaggart) Vickers. Greg married Debbie on September 2, 1974. He was a loving father to Kristie Vickers and Joshua (Karry) Vickers. Grandfather to Cody Walters, Kailey Walters and Kendal Vickers, who had a special bond with her grandfather. Great grandfather to Kinsley Walters.
Greg moved to McMinnville, Oregon in 1974 after graduating from South Salem High School. He worked in construction and began his own company in 1985. He was a general contractor for over 30 years until health forced his retirement.
Greg donated his kidney to his younger sister Janelle in 1972 when he was 17 years old.
Greg enjoyed camping, boating, woodworking, watching sports, and being outdoors. He enjoyed visiting with family and friends and always had a story to tell. He loved watching his grandchildren play sports and attended all games until he could no longer attend due to his health.
Greg is survived by his wife Debbie, daughter Kristie, son Josh (Karry) grandchildren Cody, Kailey, Kendal and great granddaughter Kinsley. Sisters Pam Burt and Margaret Hagemann and many nephews and nieces.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Janelle, and niece Megan.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 11:00 AM at Macy and Son Funeral Home, 135 NE Evans St. McMinnville, Oregon. A reception will be held at Greg's home following the service.
