Ronnie was a great person, excellent musician and wonderful friend. I really enjoyed when on a flight on road... I would go back to his seat and let him hear some of my new compositions.... He wood nod his head and bump his foot and say yeah Jackson that's a good one. Then I'd let Charlie hear it.... He would start singing ... Robert would say, Greg you need me to put some bass on that one man... Whenever I couldn't find them I would call Tulsa OkaHaHa... and talk to mother Wilson and she would always have the new numbers. Well, now he'll join his mother father and brother in that heavenly choir. God bless the Wilson family, and may their hearts be comforted by the many prayers that's going forth on their behalf.

Dearest Linda,
I send you my heartfelt condolences and sympathy. Ronnie will be missed by all who love him. Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for sharing your music and talents with people worldwide. As a young person, I grew up listening to Ronnie and The Gap Band’s music in the ’80s and '90’s. Indeed, he was considered a musical genius by many people because of his many talents as a songwriter, music producer, and multi-instrumentalist. Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for sharing your genius with us. You will be missed, and your musical legacy will live on.
May your treasured memories provide comfort for you. May prayers strengthen you and God’s loyal love always comfort and sustain you. Psalm 23
