Joseph Wilson Obituary

Joseph Frank Wilson went home October 29, 2012 to join his mother and other beloved ones in our Father's house. The peace he now enjoys gives comfort to those of us left behind - we will miss you Joe. Joe was born on March 20, 1968 in Englewood CO to Annetta Shirley and Ronnie Wilson. Joe is survived by his wife Sandra Wilson; daughter Annetta; stepsons Timothy, Earl J, & Marcus Elam; father Ronnie Wilson; sister Sonya Allen; brother Gary Wilson; and various nieces and nephews. After proudly serving his country in the U.S. Air Force for five years following high school, Joe pursued his lifelong ambition in law enforcement by attending Indiana University in the study of criminal law, and later as a Colorado State Patrol Officer in Vail and Colorado Springs, a Police Officer in Englewood CO, and finally a Colorado Department of Corrections Parole Officer in Colorado Springs. Joe was known for his love of all sports especially the Broncos and Indiana Hoosiers. A loving husband and devoted father, Joe's kindness and care for others was without bound. A big kid at heart, he was never more content than when on a Disney vacation or watching an animation with his daughter. A celebration of Joe's life will occur 3:00 PM on Monday, November 5, 2012 at Sunnyside Christian Church, 2025 N Murray Blvd, Colorado Springs CO. In lieu of flowers, contributions to a Trust Fund for his daughter Annetta D. Wilson, can be made at Chase Bank, N. Carefree & Powers Branch.
