Dale Wilson
Dale Wilson, 85, of Arrington, VA departed this world on November 7th, 2023. His heart just stopped beating, not much fuss, just the way he would have wanted it to happen.
Dale was born in the coal fields of Widen, WV on December 20, 1937, a son of the late Cloyd and Sylvia Wilson. He spent his formative and high school years in Richwood and Cottle, WV. He attended West Virginia University earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Forestry and graduated with the class 1961.
He married Judy Amos while at WVU and moved back to Nicholas County after graduation to work for the US Forest Service. Shortly after he started working, he joined the Army and was an MP stationed in the Washington DC area. When he finished serving our country, Dale wanted nothing more than to return to WV and resume his passion of working in the woods. He began a long and fulfilling career with the West Virginia Department of Forestry. He was promoted to the rank of Assistant District Forester and spent years training and molding young Foresters to follow in his footsteps.
Dale passed his passion for the woods on to his boys. He loved nothing more than taking them to the woods and streams of WV to pass on his vast knowledge. These memories will live on forever for his three boys.
After Judy passed away from a long illness, Dale met Fay Wood and they spent almost the next 20 years traveling this country from corner to corner and beyond. They settled on Fay’s farm in Arrington, VA, where they enjoyed “piddling” on the river and the farm. They are both members of Bethany United Methodist Church in Norwood, VA.
Dale is survived by his partner, Fay Wood; his three sons: Leslie Wilson and wife Michelle, David Wilson and wife Karen, and James Wilson and partner Denita; six grandchildren: Dwight Wilson and wife Brittany, Daniel Wilson, Lucas Wilson, Seth Wilson, Jacob Wilson, and Zachary Wilson; one great-grandson, Axton Wilson; sister-in-law, Jeanette Thomas; Fay’s three sons: Greg Wood and wife Sarah, Kevin Wood, and Michael Wood; and Fay’s grandniece, Mackenzie Hunt.
In addition to his parents, Dale was preceded in death by his wife, Judy; stillborn son, Thomas Wilson; brother, Leon Wilson and wife Betty; sister, Shirley Wilson; and brother-in-law, Burl Amos and wife Janice.
It was Dale’s wish to be cremated and have his ashes scattered in specific locations.
There will be a memorial service for friends and family at a date still to be determined.
