Jeffrey Alan Wilson

HIGH POINT – Jeffrey Alan Wilson, 32 was called home to be with the Lord on the early morning of February 24, 2010 following a long battle with an illness. His soul is now resting with the Lord. Jeff was born to Thomasine Wilson and the late Donald Lovette on April 25, 1977 at High Point Regional Hospital. He attended Guilford County Schools and graduated from Andrews High School, Class of 1996. Preceding his illness Jeff was employed at Oak Hollow Mall by ERMC. Pete, as he was lovingly called by the family, had a giving spirit and absolutely loved spending time with his family, especially the children. Although Jeff never had any children of his own, it never stopped him from being a father figure to many. He had a spirit about him that easily allowed for everyone that met him to instantly feel comfortable around him. Anyone that knew Jeff would tell you that he was the type of person that would give you the shirt off his back or the last dollar in his pocket and never expect a thing in return. Jeff never complained, even when his sickness made him unbearably ill. He would do whatever he could to help whoever he could. Each one of us has been personally impacted in some way or another just by having the opportunity to have met Jeff. We are grateful to have had him in our lives even if only for a season. Those left waiting until the day they see his face again include his mother Thomasine (Danny) Wilson of the home, sister Tina (Darron) McInnis of High Point, paternal grandmother Mrs. Eloise Lovette of High Point, a host of cousins, nephews, and many, many friends, including a special aunt who was more like a second mother, Pamela Wilson of High Point, a special aunt, Faye Nicholson of Brown Summit and special friends including Nicky Clark of High Point, JJ McQueen of Maryland, and Johnny Lowe of New York. Family members that preceded him in death include his father Donald Lovette, and maternal grandparents Thomas and Elizabeth Wilson. We are grateful to God that the Lord relieved Jeff of his suffering and find comfort in knowing that we will see him again when this life is over. The funeral service will be held Monday, March 1, 2010 at First Emmanuel Baptist Church. Visitation will be at 2:00 and the funeral service will be held at 2:30. The family will receive visitors at the church and later at 411 Park Street. Floral Arrangements can be sent to Phillips Funeral Service, 1810 Brockett Street.
