Greg Wilson Obituary
Corpus Christi, TX
Greg Warren Wilson, 57 passed into his eternal reward on Saturday May 27, 2017. He was born on May 29, 1959 in San Antonio, TX to C. Ivan and Lola Wilson. He was the third of four boys and was "just the one we wanted."
After graduating from Mary Carroll High School in 1977, Greg obtained a business degree from Texas A&M University class of '81. As a youngster, Greg's grandfather nicknamed him 'Happy Jack' which was a true reflection of Greg's personality throughout life. He loved people and quickly developed deep personal relationships with those he encountered. Greg's ability to connect with people served him well in his banking and real estate career. From custom home building in the DFW area, to President of First City Bank in Aransas Pass, to an agent with Coldwell Banker, Greg loved helping people find solutions to their needs. Greg was a very loving and compassionate caregiver to his parents during the last seventeen years of their lives. Perhaps his greatest asset was how comfortable everyone felt around him. You could be yourself with Greg.
Greg is survived by one son, Grant Wilson and daughter-in-law Katie of San Antonio, TX. LaDonna and Steve Mack of Boerne, three brothers, Alan Wilson (Catrina) of Corpus Christi, Dale Wilson (Sandy) of Alice, and Mark Wilson of Clear Lake. He is also survived by numerous nephews, nieces, uncles, aunts and cousins. Greg's quick wit and Happy Jack personality will always be remembered and cherished.
The visitation will be Friday, June 2, 2017 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Kings Crossing Church of Christ, 5901 Yorktown Blvd., Corpus Christi, Texas.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at Kings Crossing Church of Christ.

My dear friend Greg,
I treasure many fond memories of our conversations, hunting, breaking bread... and, yes... arguing politics. However, due to the many things we have in common; we never allowed anything to come between the love and respect we have for each other.
One that I'll share here is our search for the, "perfect enchilada!" How many little hole-in-the-wall eateries did we review? Countless! After our search we agreed any and all Tex-Mex enchiladas are worth a conversation with a friend.
Enjoy resuming the fireside chats with your Mom and Dad.
Rest in Peace brother.

We have known the Wilson family from the early 60's when we were neighbors in Portland..
Our son Mike, loved playing with the Wilson boys, they always had SO many neat toys. Lola and Ivan were some of the best people you could ever want to know.. and they raised 4 wonderful sons.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you Wilsons..

Our prayers are with the family. We are so sorry for your loss. Greg was a special person. Colleen and I were blessed in witnessing the final years of Lola and Ivan and the way Greg cared for and made sure they got to church. The way his took care of his parents in their waning years was a testament to a God loving man. Colleen and I will always remember him for his care taking of his parents. God Bless
