John Charles Vicks

In loving memory of John Charles “Dick” Vicks

John Charles Vicks, known to family and friends as “Dick Vicks”, passed away peacefully at his daughter’s house in Suffolk, Virginia, on February 11, 2025, at the age of 86. Born on May 28, 1938, he was the son of the late Edith Riggins Duffey and Huel Vicks.

Dick was from Alamance County and was a father of three daughters: Cynthia Rice (Tommy, deceased), Tammie McCarter (Martin), and Tracy Moore (Joe). He leaves behind eight grandchildren: Kristie Perrin, Kevin Rice, Kelly Bacon, Chase McCarter, Joseph Daigle, Jonathan Daigle, Ashton Moore, and Alyssa Moore; eight great grandchildren, and three great great grandchildren.

Dick’s love for life was evident in every car he built and every lawnmower he fixed. Racing was not just a hobby for him, it was in his blood. His passion for racing brought immense joy to both him and those around him, His garage was more than a workspace, it was a place where laughter echoed, jokes were shared, and lasting friendships were formed. His legacy of joy, humor, and mechanical mastery will live on in the hearts of those he touched.

There will never be any words to express the pain of losing you, but we carry a piece of you with us that will never be forgotten.

There will be a private graveside service held at Springwood Presbyterian Church Cemetery.  McClure Funeral Service in Graham is honored to serve the family.
