In loving memory of James Joseph Wilson

In sadness and profound grief I post this. I am the mother of Jimmy’s children, his former wife and best friend for more than 22 years. He held my heart and I cannot breathe that he is gone…. Regardless of the crap that came between us. I will always love him. Time and heartache change the direction one chooses. Jimmy chose to live life without restraints, to live like today was the best and last day. He died unexpectedly and left all his family and friends in shock at his loss. I cannot express my heartache at his loss, and the loss of a father to his kids, the loss of a Son to his mother, the loss of a brother, cousin, colleague, best friend. Michael and Aliyah, his young children, and Jordan his step daughter. I have loved him for many many years and my heart grieves for him. I miss who he was and our hopes and dreams, and I miss how much he loved our kids. I miss his humor and sarcasm, the glint in his eye when he was teasing. Even now, I still miss his heartbeat. I miss the dreams we had together that can never be fulfilled. He died unexpectedly, leaving our kiddos without a Father at 12 & 14, without benefits to help their future. I am asking help for Michael and Aliyah’s future college funds and for help with funeral expenses that his new wife of 4 months can’t afford.

I am hosting his Celebration of Life at my own expense for my children, family and friends because Jimmy mattered. He was loved and respected. We can’t wait to see him again in Heaven when all things are forgiven and forgotten. Please join us if you can, he was loved and respected by so many friends and family. Our kids need to see that love and support. Jimmy’s Celebration of Life will be at Magnolia Cowboy Church on April 3rd, 2023 at 11 am. Come as you are, all are welcome. You will be received with love as we honor the life of Jimmy.
