Roger Burton Wilson

Roger Burton Wilson, 85, of Bismarck, Arkansas passed away September 24, 2018. He was born March 27, 1933 in Amity, Arkansas to the late Galin and Arlivia Wilson.

Roger was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years Floy, a daughter Sharon and 2 sons Walter & Travis Wilson, and a daughter-in-law Donna Wilson. Roger proudly served in the United States Air Force retiring in 1971. He spent many years preaching the word of God. Anyone who knew him had no doubt in his foundation of love for God & family.

Roger's abundant love, sense of humor, devotion to his family, and humble guidance in difficult times are only some of the good qualities which will make missing him so difficult for family and friends.

We respectfully want to thank the staff of Arkansas Hospice, who became a part of our extended family.

In lieu of flowers, his wish was to have you help a neighbor & make this world a better place by showing love & compassion for others.

A celebration of his life will be held 10:00 am Saturday at Gross Funeral Home Chapel with Bro. Ardy Brown officiating.
