John Wilson Obituary

Wilson John With deep love and sadness, we announce the passing of John Wilson, 75, of Skippack Pennsylvania, on March 5, 2026. John was a devoted husband, loving father, and proud grandfather whose life was defined by family, kindness, and quiet strength. He will be remembered for his generous spirit, his wisdom, and the warmth he shared so easily with others. His kindness truly came from within and his laughter spread to all he encountered. He leaves behind a family including his wife of more than 50 years, Susan Wilson, their three children, and a host of beloved grandchildren who meant so much to him. His family will carry his lessons, his stories, and his love forward in their lives. Though he will be deeply missed, his legacy lives on through the family he cherished so deeply. A private service will be held to celebrate his life and honor the many memories he leaves behind.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
