Michael Scott "Bubba" Wilson

Michael Scott "Bubba" Wilson, 56, of Morning View, KY, passed away on Thursday, September 1, 2022 at University of Cincinnati Hospital surrounded by his loving family.
Bubba was a co-owner and the lead mechanic at Crescent Springs Hardware, his family owned and operated business of 50+ years. When he wasn't in the shop, you could find him in one of two places; his garage or the woods. He loved to tinker on a nightly basis with his radio blasting and his friends by his side. Bubba had a passion for off-roading, as he was a long-time member of the Hy-Jumpers 4×4 and loved to race each year at Gravelrama in Cleves, Ohio.
In 1990, he started his first Bubba Fest with 100 of his "closest" friends. Now, 32 years later, with thousands of people, the tradition continues as his family carries on his legacy with Bubba Fest 2022. He also loved to travel and spend time outdoors. Bubba enjoyed riding his motorcycles and driving his road runner any chance he could – even with a broken leg and crutches! Anyone who met Bubba, knew how great of a person he was. No matter the situation, he would do anything for anyone. He has touched so many lives during his 56 years on Earth and truly was one of a kind.
Bubba was preceded in death by his father, Bill Wilson.
He leaves his mother, Rose Wilson; his beloved wife of 22 years, Robin Wilson (nee Johnson); his daughter Sharon (Bobby Forrester) Wilson; his step-son, Kody Johnson; his siblings, Ginny (John) Hall, Connie (Doug) Moss, Mark (Ann) Wilson, Pam (Tony) Hester, and Cathy (Roy) Croley.
Bubba also leaves behind the apple of his eye, his grandson, Cole Wilson, whom he adored.
