Keith Wilson Obituary
Keith, Sr. lived a full and vibrant life. At an incredibly early age, he developed a love for trucks and motorcycles and as soon as he was able to drive, he kept the roads hot. He had the keen ability to operate anything with a motor and wheels. To friends and family, he is affectionately known as Big Keith, Truck, KDub and Chocolate Covered Redneck.
Upon graduating from Hogdson Vo-Tech in 1993, Keith, Sr. worked at Betts Towing, Schagrin Gas, Chrysler and the Delaware Solid Waste Authority. While working at Chrysler, he played softball for the company team.
Keith, Sr. had a contagious smile and laugh that was recognizable without seeing him. He treasured spending time participating in the annual Stoney Roberts Demolition Derby with his son, Keith, Jr. as well as sharing a strong passion for the Eagles. In his leisure time, he spent it riding his motorcycle or hanging out with his friends at Thurston's or Chesapeake Inn.
Keith, Sr. is survived by his son; Keith Wilson, Jr.; parents, Charles (Jr.) and Vera Wilson, sister, Sherry Wilson; brothers, Charles Wilson, lll and Gerald Wilson, Sr.; aunts - Helen Wilson, Helen Brown, Harriet Thompson, Flonnie Williams and Patsy Williams; nieces, Tre'lise Holman (Chris), Gianna Wilson and Madison Saunders; nephews, Charles Wilson, IV, Gerald Wilson, Jr. and Gabriel Wilson and a host of cousins and many friends.
