Ernest Wilson Jr Obituary
Ernie was a talented individual who turned his passion for motorcycles into a thriving business, Wilson's Custom Cycles, where he was the owner and operator for many years. He also contributed significantly to Jack Abell Construction as a supervisor. His work ethic and leadership were admired by all who worked with him.
His real passion was building and riding motorcycles and street rods, activities that he shared with friends and family, creating lasting memories.
Ernie leaves behind his Loving wife of 44 years, Sabrina Wilson; his children, Shi Wilson and Zachary Wilson; his sister, Vivian Logsdon; and her husband Harold and his cherished grandchildren, Trinity , Cayden, Avery, and Liam
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest Wilson Sr and Geraldine Wilson, and his sister, Anita Blauch.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date to honor Ernie's remarkable life.
Ernie's presence will be sorely missed, but his legacy of love, laughter, and community will endure.

Sabrina, I never had the chance to meet Ernie in person. I have only witnessed the love you two shared through posts and photos. As a friend of Zac's I can tell that he was raised by two amazing people. I'm here for whatever you need. I'm just a few blocks away. Sending you and your family love and comfort.
Love, Page

Sabrina we are so sorry to hear of the passing of Ernie. My spouse Bret used to go to school with you and used to hangout and party with Ernie back in the day and always thought he was a great guy. Prayers for you, other family members and his friends during this time of sorrow.

Wow where do I start, so many memories, Florida, Myrtle Beach, Ocean City, I will miss those phone calls when the Cowboys beat the Redskins, or the "Hey get me a Coke" ant the whoever heard of Rum and Pepsi! But my favorite is when we were in Florida at Jim Hooks house and my bedroom had a tv and his didn´t, I feel asleep with the tv on and when he got up in the morning he was yelling "Hey Jim, Robert had the TV on all night long" we never laughed so hard! I will miss you my friend! Although I won´t like it, I will root for those Cowboys this year in your honor, ( except against the Redskins ) See you on the other side

Ernie was always carrying on and was the life of the party. He would be or stop by Ziggy Fireside Inn on Winchester Road, and if he saw me there, he would go to the jukebox and play "I shot the Sheriff but I didn't shoot the Deputy!" I loved it, and Ernie would be on the otherside of the bar pointing and laughing hard. Great memories and lots if good times with Ernie, truly sorry to hear of his passing. Rest in Eternal Peace my friend! Condolence and prayers to you Sabrina, the family, and friends!

Years ago, Ernie and Joey came over to level out our driveway. Taking away a dip that always filled with water. Then 4yo Jack walked up to Ernie and told him, "You took away my fishing hole!" I thought Ernie was going to cry. Actually he definitely teared up. For YEARS after, every time we saw Ernie he would ask how Jack was doing. I don't think I've ever met a sweeter man.
