Brian Cornelius Wilson passed away in the embrace of his family on July 9, 2021.

Brian was born in Mankato, MN on November 16,1973 to Richard and Suzanne Wilson. He grew up in Minnesota with three sisters: Laura, Janelle and Anne, along with their family dogs.

He spent most of his life with a wrench in his hand and became a skillful mechanic, working on anything from Big Rigs to motorcycles. He did it all.
Brian was always willing to work on a friend's car for nothing more than the satisfaction of helping others.

Brian's real joy in life was animals, especially his bond with dogs. He was able to befriend any dog that crossed his path. Brian was the happiest when he had his best friends by his side. The companionship he shared with his dogs allowed him to be at true peace in this world and he has found eternal peace with all of them now.

He enjoyed all nature, especially on the water, and was always up for any adventure that came his way. He enjoyed his last memorable journey sailing down the Mississippi River and ultimately settled and made his home in Florida. It was in Florida that he spent his last years enjoying retirement with his good friend Cecil.

He worked hard, played hard, but loved harder.

Loved ones that will miss Brian are his parents Rich and Sue Wilson; sister Laura her husband Todd,their two kids Trey and Ella; sister Janelle, (Sid) her two kids Miah and Mateo and his favorite sister Anne.
