Charles Wilson

Charles Clint Wilson, age 74, passed away peacefully in his home on June 4, 2025. He was surrounded by his loved ones and friends. Charles C. (“Charley”) Wilson was born January 17, 1951 to Veron and Mary Lou Wilson, both of whom preceded him in death. Charley served his country for 2.5 years in the Army as a Military Police officer. He was also awarded the National Defense Service Award. Charley worked as a carpenter from 1972-1984, while graduating from Richland Jr. College in 1979 with a two year degree in Construction Management. He met and married the love of his life, Diane, on June 12, 1982 and they were blessed with a son Jake, who also preceded him in death. He became a Project Superintendent with Fluor Daniel and worked for them until 1991. From 1992 until 1996, he worked with Tywell General Contractors as a project superintendent. He left briefly to do some personal carpentry and millwork then went back to work for Tywell until 2001. In 2001, Charley settled into his longtime career with Gallagher Construction Management Services as their Project Superintendent. Following a stroke in 2013 that prevented him from working any longer in his profession, Charley found other ways to help friends and spend more time with family. Charley Wilson was an avid fisherman, rattlesnake hunter, music lover and loved treating anyone to his “special” brisket. He was blessed with a beautiful voice and he and Jake loved playing guitar together. He loved nothing more than to fish, hunt, and sing with his family and friends. Charley is survived by his loving wife, Diane; grandchildren: Elisha and wife, Makayla; Joshua, Sariah, Dani, and Justice; sister, Lisa Bearer and husband Marshall, as well as many extended family and loving friends, all of whom will miss him dearly. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Jake Wilson Memorial Foundation at https://jakecwilson.com/ which was created in memory of his son, Jake, to provide scholarships to high school seniors, grants to high school fishing teams and scholarships to Christian camps.
