Jeff "Jt" Wilson

On April 25, 2025 our world crumbled when we got the devastating news that our beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin and nephew had passed away.
Jeffrey "JT" Travis Craig Wilson, was born on December 1, 1979. He came into this world and immediately was the source of unconditional love that was so powerful and encompassing that it made everything else pale in comparison. With his head full of blonde curls, he was everyone's favorite, "living doll". There is a theory that he was a late walker because he never got the opportunity to try with everyone always wanting to carry him around.
He had the voice of an angel, scoring a perfect score at the State Music Festival singing "Ave Maria". At his high school graduation he performed the song, "Imagine" by John Lennon, which was so fitting for the acceptance he longed to have amongst his peers. Music was a huge part of what made JT tick. Everything he did involved music in one way or another. His voice had this vibrato that you could feel in your bones-even his humming, which he was constantly doing. I think we all will miss the music that JT brought into our lives.
JT had this gift to make every person around him feel like they were the most important person in the room. He loved to tell people how fabulous they looked and gave such detailed compliments that you knew he was actually seeing you. His attention felt like the warmth of the sun on your skin. We believe he was so good at giving compliments because all he wanted in life was to be seen and accepted for who he was. This ability to make a person feel important was particularly felt by his mom, dad, sisters, brothers and his nieces and nephews. "Big Abu" and "Uncle JT" were titles he wore proudly and his family will miss his infectious energy immensely.
JT had a handful of career choices ranging from a gas station attendant, where he could get your windshield factory-level clean to a server that was always making a lasting impact on the customers dining out. But his calling was being a hairstylist. Every person who sat in his chair talked about how he made them feel beautiful even before he started and once he was done you believed in your soul, that you were beautiful.
JT was a proud member of the Northern Cheyenne Nation and a 6th generation of Chief Dull Knife. He is flying over the Milky Way to meet his relatives on the other side. He was loved so dearly by all of his family and friends and will be sorely missed.
To honor our beloved JT, the family requests that those attending his services wear a color JT has either told you that you looked "fabulous" in or an outfit that reflects his rainbow personality. We would like to extend a deep, heartfelt thank you to all of the people in his life who have shown him love, compassion, guidance, direction and most importantly acceptance. Special thanks to his pallbearers and honorary pallbearers, in addition to Tim Dove, Thomasine Woodenlegs, Carlene Gondora, Sharon Small and his neighbor friend Sara Goetz.
