Obituary

Gregory Andrew Wilson, 32, of Rogers, AR, ascended to Heaven with our God through Jesus on

May 7, 2022. He was born on May 14, 1989 in Rogers at St. Mary's Hospital to

Russell Wilson and Beth Wilson. Greg graduated from Bentonville High School in 2007 and received a full

scholarship to Arkansas Tech University, where he earned his BS in Psychology in

  1. Upon graduation, Greg attended Adler University in Chicago, IL to pursue

a PsyD. During his time in Chicago, Greg's passion for advocacy emerged.

He worked as a TA helping other students, was the Student Representative to

the APA Division 42 Board of Directors, Co-chair of the Student and Early

Career Psychologists Committee, and was an APAGS Member at Large; where,

he advocated on Capitol Hill for graduate psychology programs and students.

Greg often spoke of his Capitol Hill visits as a pivotal moment where he began

to develop a professional interest in advocacy and law, leading him to return to

Arkansas to pursue a Masters of Public Service (MPS) at The Clinton School.

Greg was also studying to sit for the LSATs while tutoring others, with plans

on attending law school upon completion of his MPS. While pursuing his

education, Greg on numerous occasions advocated for his fellow workers due to

his impressive understanding of labor law. Disability justice was another passion

of his and he ensured his university upheld the American Disability Act on more

than one occasion. Greg always made time to support others, whether it was a

dear friend or a stranger in need. He was passionate about equity for all people

and celebrated diversity and inclusion.

Greg is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Dean and Ruby Ross of

Pea Ridge, who had been married for more than 50 years and whom Greg loved

dearly, as well as his faternal Aunt Debbie Foresee.

Greg is survived by his father Russell and wife Nancy Wilson of Barlett, TN,

along with his mother, Beth Wilson of Seligman, MO, his sister Andrea Wilson,

Aunt Beverly Kinneman and husband John, paternal grandparents Ed and Beulah

Gamache of Rogers,AR, Uncle Earl Ross and his wife Kim Ross of Avoca, AR

and Annie/Mom, Leann Ross of Rogers, AR.

Greg is also survived by his many cousins, extended family members, and

countless friends across the country.

Greg's kindness and selflessness was felt until the very end of his life on earth, as

he was an organ donor and saved two people's lives.
