Bonial Dee Vickers
January 4, 1930 – December 8, 2025
Bonial Dee Vickers, 95, of Whigham GA, peacefully passed away on December 8, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was a dedicated father, and a passionate farmer, leaving behind a legacy rooted in love and the land he meticulously cared for.
He was born in Whigham, GA on January 4, 1930. Bonial spent his life embodying the values of hard work, integrity, and devotion to his family. From a young age, he found joy in farming, tending livestock and his fields with a strong, steady hand and a deep respect for nature’s rhythms. His farm was more than a business; it was his sanctuary and a place he taught his children and grandchild the importance of patience, resilience, and reaping what you sow.
Above all else, Bonial cherished his role as a father, Grandpa and Great PaPa. He was a constant source of support, wisdom and unwavering love for his four children, Dee, Shaw, Dennis and Jill; grandchildren, Randall, Kelly and Casey; great grands, Blake, Miller and Marley Kate. He took immense pride in their accomplishments and was happiest when spending time with his family, whether working alongside them on the farm, basketball court, or simply enjoying a quiet evening together. His warm smile, kind eyes and gentle guidance will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
