He professed faith in Christ and was a member of Millers Chapel United Methodist Church.
He served his country honorably in the United States Army.
Sonny retired from Taylor County RECC after 43 years of dedication.
He was always very hard working and took pride in doing things right, while expecting the same from everyone else. He loved hunting, fishing, working in the yard, gardening, traveling and especially UK basketball.
Sonny loved his wife, Mary so much and depended on her for everything. When you saw one, you always saw the other. He loved all his family, but one in particular was his grandson, Scott. Poppy & Scott spent a lot of time together as Scott was growing up. They would fish, go to the river and the lake, play with the dogs and just do all sorts of things with each other. Scott can honestly say that he learned a whole lot of life lessons from Poppy.
He united in marriage to Mary Sapp on November 27, 1959. They enjoyed 57 1/2 years of caring for and loving one another.
Besides his wife, Mary Wilson of Campbellsville, he is survived by two daughters: Carol Wilson Gwinn and husband, Allan of Campbellsville, and Lynn Wilson Eastridge of Loudon, Tennessee; one grandson, Scott Gwinn of Louisville; three sisters and one brother: Marian Newton and husband, Willard and Roger Wilson and wife, Judy of Campbellsville, Gay Bright of Bardstown and Sheila Judd and husband, Roger of Greensburg; a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Thomas R. McMahan and Ruby Wilson of Campbellsville; special friends, Michael and Deborah Smith of Campbellsville; several nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends.
