Mark was born on September 20th, 1962, in Perryton, TX, to Melvin and Alma Wilson. They moved to Amarillo when Mark was young, and he went on to
graduate from Amarillo High School. Then went on to get a degree in welding and was very talented at it. He was a farmer, a business owner, and, most of all, a father. Mark loved his two boys more than anything in the world. He mostly spent his time with his boys coaching them in sports or taking them hunting and fishing. He loved to hunt and fish but loved to share it with his boys even more. Mark invested in everyone around him, even his kids’ friends. He loved everyone profoundly and made sure you knew it. Mark also enjoyed a good prank. He was a great father and had a larger-than-life persona. He will be truly missed and always remembered as a loving father.
Mark was preceded in death by his father, Melvin Richard Wilson.
Mark was survived by his mother, Alma Wilson; Son, Michael Wilson; wife, Maddie; Son, Joshua Wilson; two grandkids; and his sister.
We were quite the crew back in our day, Mark Wilson, Mark Hobgood, Mark Reed and myself (Mark Maldonado) ! Every time somebody said Mark we all turned. I’ll always cherish that time in my life and never forget the wonderful memories. I frequently tell stories about our days at the Golden Light and the crew that made it special! Mark Wilson, you will be missed!!
Remembering an old friend. We sure had some fun. Remember I did win that trophy from you playing pool! You were an original, Mark Wilson. I will miss you.
