Gregory Coy Wilson

Greg Wilson, 66, of Bonne Terre, passed away surrounded by his loved ones November 6, 2024, at Mercy St. Louis. He was born November 2, 1958, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Coy and Peggy (Orton) Wilson. 

 Greg was a member of New Life Assembly of God Church and served as a beloved member of the worship team. He was employed as a Recreational Therapist at SEMO Mental Health Center in Farmington (you did it babe!). Greg was a music man and loved playing keyboard, guitar, and saxophone. He played in rock bands for many years before using his musical talent to worship Jesus. All who knew and loved Greg will miss his crazy sense of humor…he made us laugh so many times. Greg was a cherished Papa Honey, by four beautiful little girls.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Peggy Wilson and daughter, Britany Shaver.

Greg was a devoted and loving husband to his wife of 24 years, Dena (Keel) Wilson; cherished stepfather to Jason Hunt and wife Lauren, Nicole Voss and husband Jordan; and bonus father to Andreja Dumitrov and wife Alice. Greg was a beloved Papa Honey to Brooklyn and Jaycey Voss, Lila and Emerson Hunt, and our born sleeping angel Jayla Hunt; bonus Papa to Mila and Jovan; brother to Keith Wilson and wife Terri, Brian Wilson and wife Mary Jo; son in-law, Noble Shaver and wife Heather; many nieces, nephews, other family members, church family and friends, also survive.

Greg was such a kind and loving man and we are thankful that he was blessed with the opportunity to become the miracle that another family was praying for. His final act of giving saved two lives and his beautiful eyes restored someone’s eyesight. There is no greater legacy that he could have left behind.
