Jack R. Wilson

Jack Wilson of Powell, TN, born February 12, 1951, and raised in Knoxville, passed away peacefully on March 27, 2021, at the age of 70. He was a 1969 graduate of Fulton High School and earned two Bachelor's degrees from the University of Tennessee Knoxville. He retired from AAA in 2017 after many dedicated years of service. He attended First Baptist Powell and was a devout follower of Christ. Jack was an avid UT sports fan. Since childhood, he had a love for classic and muscle cars and Chevy trucks. Most of all, Jack loved spending time with his family, especially his "Googies" - his great nieces and nephews - they were the light of his life. Jack was preceded in death by parents, J.P. and Reba Wilson. Jack is survived by his sister, Brenda Collins (Larry); nephew, Travis Collins (Beth); and niece, Tabitha Mase (Michael); great nephews Keenan James, Caleb Collins, Kyler Mase, and Kwinn Mase, and great nieces Sydney Collins, Kaylen Mase, Zoe Collins, and Emmy Collins. He is also survived by a host of close cousins. Jack and family wish to express a very special thanks to Dr. David Durbin for his continued compassionate care, as well as Dr. Yi Feng, Nurse Practitioner Katie Shelton, and the entire staff at Tennessee Cancer Specialists. Family will receive friends Thursday, April 1, 2021 from 5:00-7:00 pm with the funeral service to follow at 7:00 pm with Pastor Perry Garrett officiating at Mynatt Funeral Home Halls Chapel.
