Joshua Robert Wilson

Joshua Robert Wilson passed away Friday, Nov. 25, 2022, at home. He was 27 years old.

Joshua was born Aug. 19,1995, to Karen and Mark Wilson in Little Rock, AR. He entered the lives of his family and forever changed them. Joshua would continue throughout his life to teach his family innumerable life lessons and touch the hearts of all who had the blessing of meeting him.

Although many milestones were not expected for Josh, he from a very young age set out to prove all those projections wrong. From the moment he took his first steps to the advances he made throughout his school years, Josh repeatedly proved that he was not one to be doubted.

Joshua would go on to walk the stage at his high school graduation with both his favorite toy Elmo and his devoted teacher Ms. Lavern Wofford. After leaving school, he spent his days with his family, and filled those days with lights and only the best Disney movies. Josh taught those around him a new level of patience and love that are otherwise not required of us in this life. He taught people the joy in the simple things we often take for granted and brought a light into others' lives that was all his own.

Josh is survived by both his parents, Mark and Karen Wilson; his sisters, Kayla Wilson and Abby (Johnny) Cheek; his brother, Jared (Abigail) Wilson; a nephew, Liam Wilson; and a niece, Vivianne Cheek; his Big Momma, Lavern Wofford; both sets of grandparents, Carol and Bobby Wilson and Jim and Brenda McDonald; as well as a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved him dearly.

Services for Josh will be Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, at Turpin Funeral Home in Stuttgart. Visitation will begin at 1 p.m. followed by the Funeral at 2 p.m. The burial will follow at Hazen Cemetery.
