Jeffrey Ray Wilson, 57, passed away peacefully at his home in Mahomet on February 27, surrounded by his loving family. Born on April 10, 1967, in Urbana, IL, he was the son of Clifford Eugene and Ruth Ann (Harmon) Wilson, who preceded him in death.
A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Jeff’s greatest joy was his family. He is survived by his wife, Cathy Wilson; his children, Nichole (Jason) O’Neill, Wesley (Patrick) Bissell, and Daniel Wilson; his cherished grandson, William Bissell; and grand dogs, Callie, Zoey, and Winston.
Jeff’s love extended beyond his immediate family—he deeply valued his close-knit circle of extended family and lifelong friends, who were like family to him.
Jeff grew up in Urbana and graduated from Urbana High School in 1986. He spent over 20 years working at ImpactLife, where he was passionate about his role and the connections he formed with colleagues and community members. Jeff had an incredible ability to make friends wherever he went, always ready to lend a hand and offer support in any way he could.
A man of many interests, Jeff found joy in music, cars, motorcycles, home improvement projects, and the outdoors. Whether listening to old country songs, camping under the stars, or setting off on a motorcycle adventure, he embraced life’s simple pleasures. Known for his sharp wit and signature sarcasm, he could bring laughter to any room and was always there when someone needed a helping hand.
Jeff’s warmth, humor, and generous spirit left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. His legacy of love and kindness will live on in the many lives he touched.
Visitation will be held on March 5 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Renner-Wikoff Chapel in Urbana, IL. A funeral service will take place on March 6 at 12:00 PM, followed by a procession to Mount Olive Cemetery.
