November 1, 1937 — March 6, 2016

Vernon Lackey, 78, went to be with the Lord on the morning of Sunday, March 6, 2016.

Vernon was born on November 1, 1937 in Whitmire, South Carolina and was of the Protestant faith. He was a proud Vietnam Veteran who served his country in the United States Air Force retiring with the rank of Tech Sergeant. Following his military career, Mr. Lackey settled in Warner Robins and worked in Civil Service at Robins Air Force Base from where he also retired.

Vernon loved politics and was a huge history buff earning a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in History. He also enjoyed listening to country and gospel music. With all of the many interests that Vernon enjoyed, Lisa, the love of his life, always came first. They shared 29 years of love and happiness that will carry on in the hearts of their children and grandchildren forever.

He was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Megan Helton, and several siblings.

Vernon leaves his memory behind with his loving wife, Lisa Lackey of Warner Robins; stepchildren, Shirley Sexton (James) of Bonaire and Ted Wiatrek (Denise) of Byron; grandchildren, Timothy Sexton (Kim), Mathew Sexton (Beth), Mary Ann Hopkins (Drew), Corey Sexton, Nick and Alex Wiatrek, and Haley Helton; and great-grandchildren, Jonathan, Levi and Annalise Sexton, Caleb, Lily and Violet Hopkins, and Ava Grace, Ezra, and Isaac Sexton.
