Calvin McIntosh Wicker, Jr. ’72

Calvin Wicker Jr. '72On December 2, 2017, Calvin McIntosh Wicker, Jr., 67, went to be with his Lord

A devout Christian and family man, Calvin will be sorely missed and loved by his wife, Shirley, his sons, Grey ’04 and Cal ’09, his daughter-in-law, Amanda (Grey’s wife), and their son, Daniel McIntosh Wicker, his grandson.

Predeceased by his father, Calvin McIntosh Wicker, Sr.; his mother, Gonnie Hayes Wicker; and his sisters, Leonora Wicker and Sarah Wicker, Calvin brought his family name from Eastern NC to Spar-tanburg in 1978.

A graduate of Davidson College, a heavily patented chemist, and a Deacon, Elder, and Sunday School teacher at First Presbyterian Church in Spartanburg, Calvin was proudest of his family. An Eagle Scout and lover of the outdoors, he enjoyed spending time discovering the intricacies of life with family and friends. Calvin leaves behind a legacy not to be forgotten.

A graveside service will be held Wednesday, December 6th at 11:00 AM in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens conducted by the Rev. Dr. Kirk H. Neely. Visitation will follow at the graveside. Honorary Escort will be the Friday Men’s Bible Study Group.

In lieu of flowers, please remember Calvin by making a donation to Mobile Meals of Spartanburg, 419 E. Main Street, Spartanburg, SC 29302.
