Mr. Jack Terrell Vickery, 74, of Myrtle Street, Elberton, passed away on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at Avery Village in Winterville following a brief illness.
The only child of the late Jack Gipson Vickery and Mary Elizabeth Johnson Vickery, Jack was born on January 18, 1950 in Elberton, where he lived all of his life. He was a 1968 graduate of Elbert County High School and was a 1973 graduate of the University of Georgia where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in business. Jack worked for thirteen years in the trucking industry at Spartan Express. He later enjoyed a long, successful career in granite sales where he forged many lifelong friendships. Jack was an avid UGA football fan who was always cheering on the dogs, whether from the stands or from his easy chair.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Renae Lovinggood Vickery; son, Russell Andrew Vickery and his wife Brittany of Buford; and two granddaughters who were the apple of his eye: Addison Claire Vickery and Mackenzie Alana Vickery.
A time of visitation celebrating Jack’s life will be held on Sunday, November 17, from 3:00-5:00p.m at Berry Funeral Home. Jack was adamant that he did not want a formal service, and the family is honoring his wishes. Interment will be in Elmhurst Cemetery privately.
