My heart and prayers are with you during these very tough times. Gary sure left a legacy at Mt Zion of his love for the Lord and his church family. He earnestly cared for everyone. He said one time. “When I’m preaching in this pulpit I don’t want you to see ole Gary Wilson up here I want you to see Jesus through me.” I loved my Pastor. He will truly truly be missed

I worked with Gary for many years at INCO and we shared many lunch times together and had many discussions about God’s Word. He was a dear friend, fellow minister, and beloved Christian brother. Due to prior commitments, I will not be able to attend his service. I will miss him greatly. Prayers for the family.
