Gary Wilson, Sr Obituary

He was born November 29th, 1959 in Jackson, Mississippi and attended French Camp Academy. He lived most of his life in and around Jackson except for a brief time in Miami, Florida where he was employed as a sheet metal worker. Gary loved his family. He liked NASCAR, Football, Game shows and Wrestling. But he especially enjoyed spending time with his sons and granddaughters, and he looked forward to family gatherings because he loved good fun and good food and knew there was always an abundance of both when he was with the extended family.
