David Wilson Obituary

My dearest brother. Today marks the first full year of not having you in our lives. It has been a tough year for all of us. So many times I have needed to talk to you & have gone as far as picking up the phone to call...then I remember. It just makes me sadder. I know God has you in his arms & you are safe. I also know that I miss you so very much. You were always there for me & will be so sadly missed. I love you very much big bro. RIP Lil Sis

Well, today marks 1 year since you have passed. I believe this has been the longest, hardest year of my life. You never realize how much losing someone you love can affect your life in so many different ways, until it happens to you. I will never be able to put into words how much you are missed, and will be forever loved by your family. They say time heals all wounds, I dont know if the person who said that had ever lost a parent, but I know for me the pain I feel today having lost you so soon is just the same as what I felt 1 year ago when it happoned. Time will not heal this pain I feel inside. I can only press on in this life and know that you are with me in my heart, and in the hearts of my children, and I know everyday that you are looking after us and watching over the ones you love. I love you and miss you dearly.Your loving daughter, Adrianne

Well, where to begin, yesterday was Fathers day and I couldn't stop thinking about you. Fathers Day last year was so special, I remember how happy you were and you just had to put in those new sleeping pants that Lindsay got you. Daddy, there are some days that I'm not really sure what to do without you but then I feel an overwhelming since of security, its like your right here saying 'It's fine, your doing fine'. I wish so much that you were here with us now but in a way you are, your in my thoughts, laughter and sadness. I love you so much and believe that you are at complete peace with God. And I know that one day I will see your face smiling back at me and saying what was all that crying for, I was with you the whole time. Thank you Daddy for everything you've done and continue to do for us.

Daddy,
It seems so weird not having you here with us. It feels like there is a real emptiness. I think of you eveyday and I am sure that you know that. I love you so much!!
Love,
Mel

To my father,
Today is Christmas and it also marks the 6th month of your passing, not a day goes by that I dont think of you, but today most of all you are in my thoughts. It has been a hard day, full of memories no matter how good the memories are it is still extremely sad not to have you here today to share more memories with. I love you always Dad and I truely believe that you were here at some point today smiling down on my family and I and sharing in the joy of Christmas with us.

Adrianne

My dear brother.It's been 6 months today that you had to leave us to do something more important. You are having Christmas with God this year. But you will be at the dinner table with us in spirit. Words can not describe how much we miss you. God will keep you safe now. I love you very much & will always miss you!! Merry Christmas!

My dearest brother. They say "time heals all wounds" I just wonder when that will happen for me. There is no greater pain than losing a brother & more important...a friend. Everytime I feel lonely I look to the sky & talk to you. Evertime I see an airplane in the sky....I know that it's you doing a fly-by & blinking the lights for all of us to see. You are truly missed & loved everyday! I love you! Your little cupcake!

DADDY,
ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE YOU LEFT US HERE ON EARTH, THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T LOOK UP TO HEAVEN AND THINK OF YOU. THERE IN HEAVEN I KNOW THAT YOU ARE SAFE AND NOT IN ANYMORE PAIN. AND I AM SURE YOUR UP THERE HAVING THE BEST TIME. I FEEL YOUR PRESENCE IN MY TIME OF SORROW AND NEED. YOU ARE STILL MY CONFIDONT AND ALWAYS WILL BE. YOU HAVE OUR LOVE DADDY, FOREVER!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU ARE MISSED BY US.. NOT A DAY GOES BY WHERE I DON'T THINK OF YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

My sincere condolences to the family of Dave Wilson. Dave was a good friend, and I'm thankful that I had the privilege of working with him.

I have been at a loss for words to express the great saddness my children and I feel with the loss of you. You will always be my inspiration, and I will always remember you for your great sense of humor, and for being the most loving father. The overwhelming amount of accomplishments you made in your short life has become a wonderful legacy for you to pass on to everyone who knew you, especially to your grandchildren. You always worked hard, and supported your family in the best way you knew. To everyone who left comments on my Dads behalf, Thank You, reading those comments and seeing how well respected Dad was has helped me understand his purpose in life. He touched so many and tought great lessons to those who would listen. Even if I could have walked to heaven and hand picked an angel to be my father, he could have never compared to the father I had. Now that my father is an angel in heaven doing Gods work, looking after his family and friends there is a sense of peace in my heart that he is where he belongs, because he was an angel on earth and now he's gone home.

It was a sock to hear of Dave’s passing. It is truly a sad day when we lose a friend, a brother in uniform and a 76’er. Dave is walking peacefully on Heavens streets, he has done his time in hell. My condolences to Dave’s family. RIP my friend.

David,I know this has been a battle of all battles for you and you fought so hard to win ,but God had other plans for you, he needed you in heaven . I know the girls will miss you dearly ,but they know you are truely in a better place. They will all have their memories of you and the good times you all had. Thanks you so much for giving me Lindsay,Leah,Melanie they are truely our life. David you will be truely missed and loved for ever.

Our deepest sympathy to Dave's family especially his children. We were out of town at the time of your Dad's passing or we would most certainly have been at his memorial. Dave was a special friend of our's, and especially to Brad. Dave, Brad will always remember how you and he baby-sat for each other's kid's in Homestead, Fla., and all the good times you guys had together after you came to CAFB. I will always remember the twinkle in your eye after the famous "bike" accident...Fly safe our friend, you are loved and you will be missed.

Lindsey, Leah, Melanie, and Adrian, I am sorry we did not hear sooner about your dad. We are really sorry about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you to help you cope with your loss.

Dave was one of the finest flight engineers we had in the 76 MAS. He was very professional and had a great attitude. I'm very saddened by his passing but I know God has him in a better place. My condolences to the family.

I served with Dave in the Air Force. I was sad to hear he passed on. He was a wonderful human being. He was always upbeat and made me smile alot. He will surely be missed. My deepest sympathy to the family.

A heartfelt farewell to a fellow airman and brother in blue who served his country proudly and professionally. God speed my friend.

Dear Wilson Family, It is hard to put into words how very sorry we are for your loss. We have many good memories of Dave and we are especially proud of the great father that he was to our grand daughters. God Bless You All Peg & Larry Hawkins

For the surviors, I know your pain from losing my husband (Mike Tate) and mother (Billie Wilson Wooden). I will always remember Dave when we were teenagers and did not have a care in the world. God bless.

Aunt Bettye, Uncle Walt...My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

To a cousin I never met, Rest In Peace!

Dave was a great guy. He was fun to be around, he always had a smile. I flew with him on many missions when we were in the Air Force. Gone too soon...Dave we miss you.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Dave was a great guy, I flew with him on many missions while we were in the Air Force. He always had a smile. Gone too soon.....we will miss you Dave.

My sincere condolences to Dave's family, especially Aunt Betty, Uncle Walt and my all my Wilson first cousins. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

To the entire Wilson family. I cannot say how it saddens me that a man so young has heard his calling from above. Dave will be missed and I will have alot of happy teenage memories of growing up with him and the Wilson Family.

During this time of loss, we send our condolences to the family and keep all who knew and loved Dave in our prayers. Dave and I worked together for several years sharing many experiences as we served our country. He will always be remembered as a good comrade, friend, and highly dedicated family man.

Grandma Dave, I will always remember you. Love Camden, I love you GRANDMA Dave.

My prayers are with the family. Please let God wrap his loving arms around each one of you today and in the days ahead. May God Bless You All.

To: Bettye and family,

To lose someone so dear and close to your heart is extremely difficult to handle. I am so thankful that you have each other to lean on. He is no longer in pain and will forever be with you.

To Bettye(Bently) & family - I work with Bettye & I feel like I have known David personally but I only knew of him from what Bettye has told me. He seemed like a wounderful guy. If he is like Bettye at all he was great. My thoughts & prayers are with the whole family - we at CCC think of Bettye as part of our work family.

May God help you get through the rough times. Edie Bradley

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I enjoyed knowing and working around David. He was so friendly and always pleasant. He will be greatly missed.

Dad,

We love you and will miss you so much!!

Love,

Mel, Les & kids
