William "Bill"

Richard Wilson

William "Bill" Richard Wilson was born on May 13,1955 and raised in Tyler, TX.  He passed away peacefully at his home in Montz, LA on August 24, 2021 surrounded by his loved ones.  He was 66 years old.

Bill is survived by his wife, Judy Michel Wilson; his five children, Eric, Leann, Sabra, Robert "Bobby", and Brad, who with Alexandra "Alex" provided four beautiful grandchildren, Patia, Tristan, Elijah, and Emily; his sister, Gena Wilson Songy (Richard); and many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Richard M. Wilson and Jeffie L. "Bugg" Wilson.

Bill was a fervent follower of Jesus Christ and cherished his family and faith above all else.  Taking the scripture to heart, he lived to be a fisher of men, spreading the word of the Lord to all.  He was active in both the church and community, a former member of the J.C. 's, an active member of the Knights of Columbus and later serving as a lector and eucharistic minister.  Bill diligently worked to provide for his family, spending many years in grocery management.  Through his example, he taught his children the value of a steadfast and earnest work ethic.  Bill spent his final days sharing the love of God with his community, at peace, knowing he will find his final resting place in the comfort of the Lord's full embrace.

A visitation will be held at Ascension of our Lord's Savio Center (building behind the school) in Laplace, LA on Monday, September 13, 2021 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM followed by a Mass of Christian Burial.  Interment will take place in St. Peter Cemetery in Reserve, LA.

The service will stream live through Bill's Facebook page from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM.
