Dana N. Wilson Obituary
"He was so close. So close to coming home," said his brother Damian Wilson, a soldier at Fort Carson, Colo.
Dana Wilson, 26, of Fountain, Colo., died July 11 in a head-on collision with another vehicle in a convoy near Hillah. He had been stationed in Germany. Wilson is survived by his wife, Christen, and two sons, Tristan, 5, and Brandon, 3. The couple was married in 1999 on Valentine's Day, according to state records, and the family was living in Germany.
Damian Wilson said his younger brother had been in the Army for less than a year and wanted to become a cook. As kids, the two brothers played baseball and football together.
"I was quarterback," Damian Wilson said. "My brother was the only one who would know where I was throwing the ball before I would throw it."

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Wilson Family know that we recently made a small donation to TAPS in honor of Dana N. Wilson US Army Specialist. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Dana, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Father we entrust our brother Dana to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Dana in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Le Ron A. Wilson (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Wilson family in the loss of Dave. I did not know Dave, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Dave soon it will be 31 months since you were taken. Please know that you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace

ALL Americans should take a minute on Independence Day to thank the brave heroes that have made the ultimate sacrifice to provide the Independence we all share. Although I did not personally know Dave Wilson I feel the loss of this great American hero.
God Bless Dave Wilson and his family. God Bless the 1st Battalion, 94th Field Artillery Brigade. God Bless the United States Army. Most of all, God Bless America.
