"Mac". Andy is survived by his wife Stacie Harris

Jamie Ellis, nephew Bryce Ellis and his wife Kaitlin, many cousins, dear friends, Frank and Sheila Spickler, Chris and Allison Simpkins, Chip and Amy McClure.

Andy graduated from Pleasant View Christian School (1989) and Middle Tennessee State University (1995). He was a true Big Orange fan and proud Auburn dad.

In 1989 Andy met a girl, that girl became a young lady and his wife, of 26 years. Andy and Stacie did love and life together, then added Emma Grace in 1999 and became one of the tightest little families you have ever seen.

Endearingly he called her "Willy T" but her birth name of Emma Grace tells a very small part of the beautiful Southern young lady that she is. Andy's voice and huge smile told it all when he spoke her name and would tell of what she was up to, where she had been and where she was going-oh the places she has been, because Andy wanted the world to be wide open to her. His love for Emma will never be surpassed.

While some people work in aviation, others live it. Andy Wilson lived aviation and in a way only a big guy with a huge personality can, he brought joy and happiness to everyone he met. Andy loved aviation, he loved the airplanes and he loved the people.

Andy is from Pleasant View, TN, a small town halfway between the city and the country. If you knew Andy, you knew he was a little of both, the most dapper Tennessee Gentleman that any of us knew. Andy was the best dressed, big guy, in aviation. But when at home, he was more likely to be in shorts and flip-flops, perusing the neighborhood or headed to the beach on his golf cart, smoking a cigar with his faithful dog Duke by his side.

If he wasn't sporting his signature sport-coat, he might be wearing a kilt. Seriously, a kilt. If you haven't seen a guy that big in a kilt, it's something to see.

Andy was a passionate music lover. Not only did he love to listen to music, he loved to play music and sing. He sang tenor in various bluegrass bands for years and was an excellent guitar and mandolin player and had recently taken up the bagpipes. Much to the delight of his neighbors who enjoyed an occasional evening serenade.

Andy meant so much to so many, few people have made the impact that Andy made, he will be missed by many, all who knew him called him friend.

Andy Wilson loved the Lord, and the Lord knew him and yes, our Lord called him friend.

Andy's interest in history and family genealogy impacted his wishes to have his ashes scattered over the Highlands of Scotland.

A memorial service will be held on Sunday June 25, 2023 at The Cedars At Carr Farm, 3795 Turnersville Rd, Cedar Hill, TN 37032. Visitation will begin at 2pm with the memorial service beginning at 3pm.

A college fund has been established to assist Andy's daughter, Emma Grace, as she begins classes this August on a Master's Degree in Speech and Language Pathology at Faulkner University in Montgomery, AL.
