Garland R. Wilson, 75 has passed away November 29, 2008.
Garland was born March 5, 1933 in Clifton Forge, VA to William Owen Wilson and Ocea Mae Ford Wilson. He was a high school graduate and worked at various jobs. He was an outdoors person-he loved being outdoors. He loved gardening, fishing and hunting and working on his vehicles. He loved country and blue grass music and the oldies. We came to the Biloxi area in 1978 and have remained in Biloxi ever since. He's worked in construction building Singing River Mall and Jackson Square in Gautier, etc. His last place of employment was Holiday Inn in Biloxi where he worked several years in Grounds Maintenance until an injury caused him to retire on disability. Most everyone who knew him loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William Owen and Ocea Mae Wilson; 2 brothers, William """"Bubby"""" Wilson and Cecil Wilson; 2 sisters, Eva Wilson and Mildred Staton, and maternal and paternal grandparents, and aunts and uncles.
