Steve Allen Wilson was born on September 28, 1950 in Modesto, California and was the oldest  of six children born to LB Allen and Shirley (Stroud) Wilson. He was preceded in death by his father, LB Allen Wilson. Steve spent his first years moving with his family from place to place as his dad was a construction worker.

In 1965 the family came to Oregon and in 1966 settled in the Willamina area where they purchased land and built a home on Willamina Creek Road next to Fendall Hall.  Steve graduated from Willamina High School in 1969.  Although he never went to school for mechanics he could work on most anything that had a motor.  He loved cars, motor cycles and trucks.  Steve loved anything cowboy related and had a number of horses over the years and of course always a dog or two or three. He loved Western movies - old ones were the best.

Steve was always a hard worker and spent little time sitting around. He owned and operated Wilson Trucking for many years and had a fleet of trucks operating in several states. For many years he was on the road building the business. Unfortunately illness and economics forced closure of the business.
The last 15 years Steve battled Parkinson’s disease and and it was his determination and sometimes downright stubbornness that kept him on his feet and doing his best to pursue the things he loved. Even as recent as two weeks ago he was out tinkering with his Suburban. His long battle ended just one day shy of his 68th birthday on September 27th. Steve was greatly loved and will be sorely missed by his family and friends.Steven is survived by his daughter Tandy Glass (Terry) his mother Shirley Wilson, siblings: Linda Vollman (John) Sheridan, Sharon Smith, Keith Wilson, Barry Wilson (Brenda), and Michael Wilson (Judy) all of Willamina; his grandchildren: Guy Glass, Seth Glass (Stephanie) Dylan Glass, Brylene Butler (Brent) and 7 great grandchildren. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family and girl friend Fran who loved and cared for him these last four years.
