Obituary

Jeff Wilson was born in Dallas, TX on December 25, 1975, on a snowy Christmas Day.  He grew up primarily in College Station, TX, where he attended Bryan High School.  He graduated from Texas A&M University and was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.  During these years in Bryan-College Station, he made friends for a lifetime.  He was a dedicated alumni of Texas A&M, demonstrating a true Aggie spirit. During high school and college, Jeff gained a love of the outdoors, especially hiking and climbing.  He was proud that he succeeded in climbing two of the mountains over 14,000 feet in Colorado.  He also loved football, music and playing the guitar. In addition, some of his happiest moments were spent in Rockport and Aransas Pass, where he learned to fish and to play in the ocean. Jeff married his college sweetheart, Brenda Jones Wilson.  They are the parents of two children, Alex and Chase Wilson. Jeff’s joy in life was his children, Alex and Chase.  From attending the father-daughter dances with Alex to playing soccer with Chase, he treasured each moment he spent with them.  He was a loving, devoted and patient dad, able to combine fun, comfort and discipline with great kindness. Jeff is survived by his parents Barbara and Frank Clark and Bill Wilson.  He is also survived by his former spouse Brenda Wilson and his children Alex and Chase Wilson; brothers and sister:  Stephen Wilson, Frank Ray Clark, Valerie Clark, and Bruce Clark; sisters-in-law:  Stephanie Clark and Theresa Clark; aunts and uncles:  Carolyn Patton and Dale Nickeson, Jan Haney, and Fred and Doris Clark; cousins:  Laurie and Glenn Bandy, Elizabeth and Christian Rammerstorfer; Michael and Cathy Haney, Amy and Geoff Stow, and Jenny Clark; and many nieces and nephews.

    Jeff, you were one of the good guys. A heart of gold and a killer smile. You wrote in my yearbook “The love you take is equal to the love you make.” Rest well, sir. You were loved.

    I didn’t know Jeff, but grew up next door to his mother, Barbara, and his aunts Carolyn and Jan. I was so saddened by the news of his death and knowing the heartbreaking loss all of his family, especially his two children and his parents are experiencing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Jeff, though we had only known each other for a all too brief time you are missed. It was always a joy to pass time waiting at DFW or Love Field airports waiting in our next Lyft or Uber fair. One thing is certain your love and devotion to your children, and how you juggled your work schedule to be there for them.

    Family and friends of Jeff, my sincerest condolences and prayers for you. Hearing your stories and memories were heartfelt and comforting.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
