Remembering David Lynn Wilson
January 11, 1948 - November 17, 2025
Graveside services will be held Saturday November 22, 2025 at 2pm at Greenlawn Memorial Park for David Lynn Wilson, age 77 of Natchez, who passed away Monday 17th in Ferriday at Trinity Medical Center.
Born January 11, 1948 in Purcell, OK. The son of the late Darrell and T***s Wilson.
David was a United States Veteran. He served in the United States Army from 1967 to 1969. He was stationed in Korea where he earned an army commendation, which he was extremely proud of. After leaving the army, he forged a career as an automotive repair technician. He was by far one of the best mechanics to walk the face of this earth. He opened and ran Wilson's Auto Clinic in Natchez, MS for 27 years.
David loved the outdoors. He was either hunting, fishing or at the shop building race cars or restoring classic cars. His love for cars has been passed down to his son and grandsons. If anyone knew him, they would tell you the love he had for telling stories and jokes to make everyone laugh. And if you knew him, his laugh would make you smile ear to ear. He was one of a kind that will be greatly missed.
David was preceded in death by his parents, Darrell and T***s Wilson; two brothers Mike and Garry Wilson; nephew Michael Wilson.
Survivors include his wife of 56 years Beverly Wilson; one son Davy Wilson and wife Leigh Anne of Natchez, MS; one daughter Tamara Searcy and friend Drew Wamsley of Baton Rouge, LA; three grandsons Garrett and Peyton Wilson of Natchez, MS and Kade Searcy and partner Macy Thomspon of Baton Rouge, LA; two great grandchildren Sirius and Iris Searcy of Baton Rouge, LA; one brother Dana Wilson and wife Beverley Timmons of Natchez, MS; niece Danielle Perry of Natchez, MS; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; dear family friends that are too
numerous to list.
