Steven Wilson
Steven Edward Wilson, who resided in Fort Smith, went to be with his Lord on Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020, after an 18-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Steve was born June 14, 1959, in Houston to Larry Edward Wilson and Kay Darlene (Palmer) Wilson. He was 60 years old.
Steve was self-employed at a young age, owning many different service stations and automotive businesses in the Fort Smith area during his lifetime. He was a hard worker and always willing to lend a helping hand to family and friends. He wasn't scared to tackle any tasks, as there was nothing he couldn't do. He had a passion for auto racing and enjoyed sharing this love with his family. He was a member of the Sebastian County Sheriff's Department Mounted Patrol. His mornings were spent chatting with his friends at Miss Anna's Breakfast Club.
He was preceded in death by his father, Larry Wilson; a sister, Marilyn Wilson; and a grandson, Owen Johnston.
