David Vickers was born in Washington, MO to Thomas Lafon and Hazel Audrey Vickers on September 7, 1945. David was born with Down’s Syndrome and was the oldest living person with Down’s in the state of Missouri until his death.
David lived in Union and enjoyed his life. David’s sweet spirit and beautiful love for people endeared him to many. David worked at the sheltered workshop in Sullivan and delivered Meals on Wheels until he retired. He could be seen in places like the bowling alley, grocery store, city parks, Exceptional Equestrians, local restaurants and many other places. David was well known around town as the “Cowboy.” He always wore his cowboy hat and would rarely be seen without it. David’s sweet smile was beautiful to see and made it a great joy to be with him. David was not able to be as active as he aged; however, his caregivers would take him for long car rides to many parks such as Lone Elk Park and Meramec Park where they were out in nature and would look for mushrooms. David had a full and active life where he touched innumerable lives with his loveable nature.
David is preceded in death by his Father, Thomas Lafon Vickers, his mother, Hazel Audrey (Scott) Vickers, and two brothers: Thomas Lafon Vickers Jr. and Calvert LeRoy Vickers.
