I always knew Wilson to be kind, warm and full of laughter. He was cared for and smiled upon by many and I will treasure those sweet memories.

Prayers, hugs and wishes of peace for his family and those they knew him best.

Kind Regards,

Lauren Greene (Melton)

I am deeply sad for anyone that loves this man. I adore everything about him. Intelligent, kind and loving person. I love you Wilson.

There are no words to describe what an amazing man Wilson was. He was a brother and many of the fun and memorable things I’ve done in my life he was apart of. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and most certainly Bri.

I remember Wilson as a very kind and generous person. I worked with him. I wasn’t there everyday and when I did show up, he always made me feel welcome. He went out of his way to help me do my job, all the while doing his job at the same time. He was extremely good at his craft and when we had time, we talked a lot about art.

Sending my deepest condolences.

It is with deep sorrow that I say goodbye to such a true friend and incredible human being. To Bri and Wilson’s family I offer my most heart felt sympathy. Wilson was always overflowing with love and generously shared it with those lucky enough to be around him. He had a passion to learn about the world and people through the creativity of his art. I’ll especially remember his love of laughter. We always shared countless jokes and pranks to try and make each other laugh. Even with his passing, when I think of him I can’t help but smile.

My dear friend please be at peace. We love you, we miss you, and we will see each other again some day.

I worked with Wilson on several projects. We were part of the Rockman grip crew. Wilson ran A-dolly like a seasoned professional. And even though he was the youngest of all us he was definitely wise beyond his years. He was the coolest of dudes. Wilson was missed when he left the business and now he will be missed even more now that he has left us all. Please accept my deepest condolences and most heartfelt thanks for allowing me the pleasure of spending time with him while he was here.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear that Wilson is gone. I was his high school art teacher and since then, his Facebook friend. He was an inspiration to me.

Forever fun, forever young, forever loved.

I am devastated by the loss of Wilson and cannot imagine how difficult it must be for his family. I worked with Wilson on several projects and had the utmost respect for him. As a dolly grip he had great instincts of how and when to move the camera, but he also had a unique sense of humor and knew how to have fun at work. Wilson inspired me with his desire to improve his life, through Buddhist teachings, or by throwing himself into new experiences, and by having the courage to leave his successful career to study a higher creative art form. He will be sorely missed.

So sad to hear about this! RIP Wilson! My condolences to his family 🙁

I was a fellow classmate of Wilson’s at NYFA and I am deeply saddened by the loss of Wilson. He was the sweetest person and always had the warmest smile and was always positive and kind and encouraging to everyone. My thoughts and prayers to his fiancé, family and friends. I know that he is framing and composing the most extraordinary shots for his most heavenly film yet! RIP my friend. You will be missed.

I was one of Wilson’s teachers at NYFA, and I am floored by this. Such a great young man, and with so much ahead of him. My thoughts go out to all his family at this tragic time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I only met Wilson a few times but that was enough to know what an amazing soul he had. He touch my heart and helped me to accept losing my husband and brother in the few conversations we had. He was just that good with words and feelings. My heart is with Brianna, his family and all the friends he made along the way in the beautiful life he lived.

He was an awesome person. I am sad to see this news about my former classmate. My condolences goes out to his family and loved ones. NYFA

All my thoughts and condolences to Wilson’s family and friends. I didn’t know him personally but my brother was a very close friend of his from Ole Miss. He was conveyed as an amazing person and without a doubt is using his amazing abilities with the Big Guy upstairs! RIP

Tim,

I am so sorry to hear about this, and will be praying for you and all your family.

I am so saddened to hear of Wilson’s passing. He and I traveled to Costa Rica together during our years at Ole Miss. He was our moooonkey and will be greatly missed. Cheers to a beautiful mind and soul.

Heartfelt condolences.

I only met Wilson a handful of times, but he was very much as Brianna describes him. I felt uplifted after each interaction with him. My condolences and love to all affected by his passing.

I will be keeping your family in prayer during this time. I pray for your family to come together and be strengthened during this time. May God bless your family.

My deepest sorrow follows this news. Bri- Please know the School of Dance is your home forever and always… Come to anyone of us and we will welcome you with warm arms. If you need a warm meal, a vase of flowers, or a simple smile please know, we will be there.
He was a wonderful person who left too soon.
My heart goes out to the Bri and the family.

I’m incredibly sorry to hear about this loss, sending my best wishes to Bri and Wilson’s family. He sounds like an amazing man – kind, artistic, giving. May you find peace and hope coming out of this.

My deepest condolences to my dear friend Brianna and to Wilson’s Family. May you find strength at this extremely difficult time. My heart aches for you…

Wilson, my friend, you were always a source of quiet inspiration, goofy jokes, warm smiles and wonderful hugs. I miss you everyday and still expect to see you at Bergen. Thank you for your encouragement, kindness and generosity of spirit. Love is greater than Fear. You lived that everyday. You shall never, ever be forgotten. Oh, and if you run into my boy please hug him for me. Rest easy my friend and know you are fondly remembered and loved eternally.

Dear Wilson,
You taught me how all ideas encompassed love. Maybe if we could pin point the love in all ideas and emphasize that love to cause an explosion the world could change? I think it is changing everyday, and it’s people like you who open my eyes to see further beyond the surface…to see synchronicity… to see something greater. Wilson, you changed the world because you changed me and every other person you smiled at as you walked down the street. Mother Teresa says, “We can do small things with great love.” I would say, you pushed the limits. You did that and more. You sacrificed everything for love and creation every day. Your legacy lives on in every person you touched and in every piece of art you created. I am so lucky to have had conversations with someone so important in the never ending revolution we all call art. Art is love. Happy 33rd birthday.
Love,
Maddie

My condolences to all of Wilson’s loved ones.

I miss you every day and can’t wait to sing our favorite ditties together again one day. I’m going to live each day knowing you made the world a better place. ❤

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting you three times dear sweet soul. Your energy was profound and impactful and your heart was pure gold.

I knew Wilson from an early age. He became my son’s best friend in junior high school. Maybe earlier. They used to ride their bikes, play the piano together , and try to jump out of a moving car just to scare my wife. He was a playful young man and very talented. He was always respectful and I really valued his friendship as he grew into adulthood. We shared many a laugh. I wish I could have been there for him as I know we all do. I offer my heartfelt condolences to Brianna, Tim Weaver and all of Wilson’s friends.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

Matthew 5:4

I am the son-in-law of Michael Gilchrist, a friend of Dan’s. Mr Gilchrist mentioned Wilson to me and I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your lose. Our church staff took some time to pray over your family today.

John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Dearest Bri and family,

I only met Wilson once and in that short moment I felt all that I am reading about him here. I am very sorry for your loss and hope that through your grieving you find the strength to take the love and convictions of Wilson and have them live on in your own joy of life!

Lots of love!
Tanja London
