Obituary -- Gary Wilson 1966-2020

Gary D. Wilson was born August 2, 1966 in Bethany, Missouri, the third child of Max and Linda (Shafer) Wilson.  Gary passed away September 17, 2020 at the age of 54.

Gary graduated from Albany R-III High School, class of 1984 and from there he went to work moving dirt all over the countryside.

On May 23, 1987, Gary married the love of his life Lisa (Long) Wilson and to this union two sons were born: Branden and Kevin.  Branden and Kevin followed in their father’s footsteps in helping with the family business until his death.

Gary had many passions in life from fast wheels to having fun and moving dirt, but as Gary softened in life, the only thing he enjoyed more than moving dirt and cracking a good joke was his four granddaughters, Braylen, Adalyn, Rylee and Rory.

He was preceded in death by his wife Lisa on January 26, 2003, father Max and father-in-law, Larry Long.

Survivors:  sons, Branden (Tammy) Wilson and granddaughters, Braylen, Adalyn and Rylee; Kevin Wilson and granddaughter, Rory; mother, Linda Wilson; sister, Nancy (Ron) Hinkle; mother-in-law, Lila Long, all of Albany; brothers and sisters-in-law; nieces, nephews and cousins.
