Patrick Hazen Wilson's Obituary
Patrick H. Wilson, age 65, entered eternal rest on Saturday, December 02, 2023, in El Paso, Texas. He was a wonderful son, brother, husband, and father and will be greatly missed. He is survived by his loving wife; Kim Nance Wilson; his dearest children; Daniel Wilson and Katelyn Wilson; and his dear sisters, Paula (Steve) Padar, Penny (Roger) Babb, Barbara Ryan, Kay (Dion) Chilberg; and several nephews and a niece. He is also survived by many extended friends and family to cherish and honor his memory.
Pat was an avid golfer and played as often as he could. He worked for many years at Eagle Ottawa, now Lear Inc. Pat also worked for Lackawanna Leather, in Hickory, NC where he met the love of his life, Kim Nance. They married on July 3, 1993, in Grand Haven, MI, and enjoyed 30 years together, moving from NC to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, back to Michigan and ultimately being transferred to El Paso, TX in 2005, where he was Technical Manager for all of Mexico. Pat and Kim added Daniel Patrick, in 2003, and Katelyn Renee, in 2006 to the family. Pat was so proud of his children and wife. He was a gregarious person with an amazing quick wit and great sense of humor enjoyed by all.
Patrick was preceded in death by his father, Hazen D. Wilson; his mother, Jacqueline M. Wilson on December 7, 2023; his niece, Jennifer A. Johnson; and brother-in-law, Jon E. Ryan.
