Alvin Wilson Obituary
February 17, 1948 - December 21, 2020
On Monday, December 21, 2020; Alvin "Toodie" Wilson, loving husband, father, brother, and friend to many, passed away at the age of 72. Alvin was born February 17, 1948 to the late Andrew Wilson, Sr. and Mary Jane (Barlow) Wilson in Roanoke, VA. In his youth years, Alvin attended Lucy Addison High School in Roanoke, VA. In 2005, Alvin became a member of the Winston Salem/Forsyth County community where he served as the Senior Lead Chef for Aramark on the Campus of Wake Forest University until his health declined in 2013. He married his soul mate Cynthia (Simmons) Wilson of Winston Salem on May 25th, 2012--and the union of the two beautiful families merged and became as one: "The Wilsons." Alvin is survived by his wife (Cynthia) and a blended family of 5 children along with a highly devoted mother-in-law, Barbara A. Frost of (Winston Salem). The children he has left behind are Brigette (Sean) Easley and Alvin Wilson Jr. both of Roanoke, Virginia; Demont Simmons, Kirk Scales, and Demecia Scales, all of Winston Salem, NC. He was also survived by a supportive sibling (his brother), Andrew Wilson, Jr. along with Michael (Sandra) Wilson and Albert Wilson, all of Roanoke, VA; and a very loving sister, Linda (Tony) Wilson-Wallace of Knoxville, TN; three brothers-in-law, Timothy (Ervinia) Anthony of Norfolk, VA , Terence (Jewell) Anthony of Goose Creek, SC, and Keewanee Frost of Kernersville, NC; and a host of grands, cousins, and extended family and friends abroad. Honorable mentions that were truly near and dear to him are, Xadyn Scales (grandson) of Winston Salem-- as he would call him "his partner for life," Andrew (Christy) Wilson III of Roanoke, a dedicated niece Marshina Wilson of Knoxville, TN, and an outstasnding friend Cedric Allen. Alvin was an avid music lover and enjoyed Sunday Night Football with his Atlanta Falcons. He was known by his quick wit, his infectious smile, his kind and compassionate spirit for life, and others that surrounded him. He will genuinely be missed. Mr. Wilson may be viewed 12pm to 6pm Monday, December 28, 2020 at Hooper Funeral Home. www.hooperfuneralhome.net.

Everyday we take certain things or people for granted and when a certain thing or person is removed from us we realize how blessed we were to have had this person in our lives. That my friends is Alvin Wilson. Not a day goes by when you see something or someone or even hear a song and I think of Alvin. I was lucky to have known him as long as I did and will never forget my buddy, Rest easy my friend.

Praying God comforts your family with precious memories. You always made my mom smile and everyone smile. Family with us is that. Maurice was your friend, but you always laughed and let him know he was the cousin in-law. I know Grandma Ida and Daddy Lewis, uncle Andrew, and aunt "Dynamite" had a NE. Roanoke, Virginia dinner waiting. Sleep well.
