Members Otis Roostertail Posted July 25, 2015 Members Posted July 25, 2015 YELLVILLE – If ever there was anyone you couldn’t say enough good things about, it’s Roger Vickers. Lawman. Family man. Good man. Friend. Those are just some of the words people shared after learning of the Marion County sheriff’s passing. Vickers, 67, lost his battle with cancer Thursday. “It’s a great impact. Everybody here is taking it real hard,” said Lt. Bill Hilligoss of theMarion County Sheriff’s Office. “He was a great man and a great leader in the community. He will be greatly missed.” For those of you that fished the White River and the lower Bull Shoals, you may have known Roger Vickers, the Sheriff of Marion County, Arkansas. Roger passed away last night after a battle with cancer. He was a true gentleman and worked hard to protect the community. He will be greatly missed. His family has our condolences and prayers.....

jdmidwest Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Its nice to see someone refer to a lawman as being a nice man for a change. Ham 1 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Ham Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I spoke to Baxter County Sheriff Jihn Montgomery about this last night. John is about as nice a gentleman as I have ever met and he spoke highly of Sheriff Vickers. I never met Sheriff Vickers, but if John says he is one of the good ones, that's good enough for me.
