He is survived by his devoted wife, Stacey Jones Wilson, with whom he shared a loving marriage since April 15, 1992. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and countless treasured memories. Ike was a proud and dedicated father to his children, Richard Dean Wilson and his wife, Hailley Fallier, and Kacey Kallen Wilson and her husband, Robert Bean. He was a doting grandfather to his four grandchildren: Melissa Rose, Ryder Sewell, Holden Sage, and Raylan Haze, who brought immense joy and pride into his life.
