Dr. Wilson was born in Durham, NC on May 17, 1956, the first of four sons born to Dr. John Winkle Wilson, Jr. and Mrs. Mary Wilson Lamond Wilson. He and his brothers were raised in Conway as members of Kingston Presbyterian Church and graduated from Conway High School. After graduating from Clemson University (1978), where he was a member of Phi Kappa Phi academic honor society, and the Medical University of South Carolina (1986), where he was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society, he served many patients as an internal medicine physician in Conway, SC.
In his leisure time, he loved exploring the outdoors through activities like birdwatching, botany, hiking, snow-skiing, whitewater rafting, kayaking the Chattooga River, and kayaking, canoeing, boating, skiing, and more on the Waccamaw River with his friends and family. When not on outdoor adventures he enjoyed writing poetry and other short pieces.
Survivors include his parents, Dr. and Mrs. John W. Wilson, Jr.; his children, Austin Wilson and Martha Wilson; his brothers, Scott Wilson, Mark Wilson, and Brett Wilson; and several nieces, nephews, and other extended family and friends. He loved his family dearly and will be greatly missed.
