David Jamel Wilson

On Sunday, January 25, 2026, David Jamel Wilson, age 63 of Slidell, La went peacefully to be with our Lord in the comfort of his own home surrounded by the ones he loved. David proudly served our country in the United States Navy and went on from there to put to use his excellent carpentry skills as well as the children's minister for over 20 yrs, where he was also a faithful member of First Pentecostal Church in Slidell, LA. He loved fishing, golfing, and watching most all sports, but most of all he loved Jesus and his family. His bright spirit and love for others will be honored and remembered by all who met him as he was known for making a huge impact on all the lives of those who met him even if for just one time, he was a light in so many lives when they needed it the most. He is survived by his loving wife Deanna Wilson, his step children Phillip O'Connell, Johnathan O'Connell, Mike Perkins Jr. (Felicia), and Shane Perkins (Melissa), his grandchildren; Payton, Lily (Asher), Brady, Jeremy, Nolan, and Alexis, and great grandchildren Nash and Talan, his siblings Brian and Sherry Wilson, Niece Michelle, and numerous other nieces, nephews, and family friends. He is now running the streets of Gold and reunited with his parents Alton and Louise Wilson, his uncle Thomas Wilson, and his sister in law Melissa Wilson. Memorial Services to honor his life will be held on Saturday February 7, 2026, at 11 am service visitation from 10 am until service time at First Pentecostal Church of Slidell, LA., with his final resting place being at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery, Slidell, LA at a later date. Everyone is welcome to join us in wearing green to help celebrate his life.
