Jimmy Wilson Obituary
He was a dedicated family man, wonderful husband, devoted father and caring friend. Jimmy always said his sister Debra made him the man he was today. He not only looked up to her but helped take care of her. Jimmy was filled with kindness, goodness and never spoke ugly of anyone. He loved the Lord and lived a life of Christ. He enjoyed hunting, piddling in the garage, eating at Parkers BBQ and Bojangles. He loved going to his place at Saddle Ridge Campground in the mountains of North Carolina for the past 12 years. Wherever Jimmy went, his dogs, Marley and Abby were sure to follow.
Jimmy is survived by his wife of 28 years, Judy Eatmon Wilson; sons, Tim Wilson (Andrea) and Kenny Wilson (MaryScott); stepson, Ed Tait (Jackie); sister, Janet Taylor (Earl); brother, Floyd Wilson (Lynn); grandchildren, Kenleigh Wilson, MaryKatherine Wilson, Alyssa Tait, Ashlyn Tait, Addison Tait, Allison Braswell and Alex Braswell and a host of loving nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; James and Mary Ellen Wilson; sisters, Doris Collier and Debra Wilson; brothers, Raymond Wilson and Ray Wilson.
