Jimmy Wilson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 31, 2024.
Jimmy Rudolph Wilson passed away peacefully on August 7, 2024.

He was born November 25, 1938 to the late Evard and Quillie LeCroy Wilson in Hartwell Georgia. He graduated with honors from Hart County high school and from Georgia Tech with a degree in industrial management where he co-oped with Georgia Power. He went on to work for Ford Motor Company, Lockheed and Merrill Lynch ultimately starting his own business in sales and construction retiring just a few years ago.

He was an open and honest man with a thirst for knowledge who believed in the importance of continued education both formal and through personal development courses. His belief that we are never too old to learn was evident even in his final years as he was constantly on his IPad reading books and watching biographies!

He is survived by his ex wife Jan Martin Wilson, his daughter Simone, son Britt(Kacey), grandsons Chase(Hannah), Ethan(Bayla), Bennett, granddaughter Adeline and two great grandchildren.

There will be a celebration of his life September 8th 1:30-3:30 drop in at
