US NAVY VETERAN
The family of Mr. Teddy Eugene Wilson, a US Navy Veteran, requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard at the services and LEO supported procession, and graveside rendering of military honors of their loved one. We are honored to accept this invitation.
Teddy E. Wilson Jr., 72, passed away on August 28, 2024, in San Antonio, Texas. He was born on July 28, 1952, in Gadsden, Alabama. Teddy was preceded in death by his parents, Jerrie Wilson and Teddy Wilson Sr., and his sons, Dustin Wilson, and Jason Earl Wilson Trigueiro.
In 2018, Teddy began his last adventure, choosing to live off-grid and enjoy a simple life in nature. Until his final days, he loved riding his motorcycle through the Texas Hill Country. On October 7, 2024, he would have celebrated 35 years of sobriety, a huge accomplishment that made him a role model for many. He helped and supported others who wanted to live a sober life, always leading by example.
He is survived by his children, Heath Breckenridge, Stephanie Wilson, Nathan Wilson, and Eric Wilson; his sister, Teresa Wilson; and his grandchildren, who will carry on his love and wisdom.
Mr. Teddy Wilson Enlisted into the US Navy on May 18, 1971, and was Honorably Discharged on November 8, 1974. Teddy spent most of his life working as a mason. He enjoyed driving race cars and watching races, doing taxidermy, and painting pictures of nature and animals—hobbies that brought him happiness and peace.
He will be remembered as a man who didn’t hide from his past but used it to teach and guide others. Teddy was always there to listen, give advice, and help others. If you met him, you didn’t stay a stranger for long. He was kind, open, and deeply loved his friends and family.
