Jack "Lil Jack" Wilson, 79, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2026. He was born on October 14, 1946, in Butler, Tennessee, to Ruth and Russ Arnold.
In 1960, Jack moved to Lawton, Oklahoma, where he would build a life full of hard work, friendship, laughter, and unforgettable memories. He began working at Lanny's Appco, where he developed a strong work ethic that would stay with him throughout his life.
Jack had a deep love for rodeo and spent many years rodeoing himself. He remained an avid bull riding fan for the rest of his life and never lost his appreciation for the excitement and spirit of the arena. Later, he became an electrician and founded Wilson Electric, building a successful business through dedication, honesty, and the respect he earned from those around him. Over the years, he helped countless people, both through his work and through his generous heart.
More than anything, Jack loved people. He had many friends whom he cared for deeply, and if you knew him, you loved him. He had a wonderful sense of humor and could always make people laugh no matter the situation. His presence brought joy wherever he went.
Jack also dearly loved his dogs and treasured the simple pleasures of life. He lived life to the fullest, made lasting memories, and truly knew how to have a good time.
He will be remembered for his kindness, humor, hardworking spirit, and the love he shared so freely with family and friends. Jack leaves behind a legacy of laughter, friendship, and a life well lived. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
