William Harrison Wilson

January 12, 1947 — May 23, 2024

William Harrison Wilson, 77, of Church Rd., Virginia, died peacefully at his home surrounded by his family May 23, 2024. Born and raised in Colonial Heights, VA, he was the son of the late William T. Wilson and Frances D. Wilson Barr. He was a loving husband, brother, father, grandfather and Uncle. He began his adult life serving in the US Navy. Following his discharge from the Navy, he returned home and began his lifelong passion working with cars and became a master mechanic. His abilities extended well beyond repairing vehicles. Billy could fix anything. In his early years, he excelled at drag racing. He enjoyed being outdoors, which included boating and gardening. He was a loyal and good friend to many.

Wilson; a brother, Thomas Wilson (wife, Kathy); a sister, Nancy W. Brooks (husband, Earl); daughters, Andria, Leslee, and Kaydee; sons, Johnny, Tommy and stepsons, Jimmy and Adam; 16 grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
