Stan Wilkerson

Stanley Carl Wilkerson, 66, of Granite Shoals, Texas passed away March 29, 2020. Stan was born to Lonnie Carl and Wanda (Looney) on April 30, 1953 in Tomball, Texas.

Stan was a resident of Tomball, Texas until he finished high school and joined the Unites States Army. Most of his enlistment was spent in Germany. After he received his honorable discharge, Stan went to work for the Port Terminal Railroad in Houston, Texas. He worked as a switchman and a yard master until his retirement after thirty years with the company. Retirement allowed him to leave the big city and settle in the Highland Lakes area of Texas and complete his proudest accomplishment, taking care of his parents in their older age. Stan enjoyed the slower pace of Kingsland, Texas and was upset when the second stop light in town was put up. He spent many hours with family fishing and boating on Lake LBJ, and cooking his famous pork roast, brisket, and fried catfish.

He is survived by his daughters, Dusty Wilkerson of Spring, Texas and Stacey Segovia of San Antonio, Texas; son, Jacob Carl Wilkerson of Magnolia, Texas; and brother, Paul Wilkerson of Lake Whitney, Texas. Five grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews extended family and friends also survive.

Stan is preceded in death by his parents, Lonnie and Wanda Wilkerson.
